Why Socrates is the right theme for beginner Internet marketers?

In my opinion it is multi-fold – the simplicity, the flexibility of the theme, the training and support, and most of all the experience and credibility of the creators.

Following are my top-3 reasons why the Socrates theme is the apt website building tool for new affiliate marketers -

1. The training videos – Most of us seasoned Internet marketers often wrongly assume the proficiency levels of newcomers to Internet marketing. The truth of the matter is they require very simple and basic training to get started. Joel and Dan have understood this and have put together a very simple to understand and follow basic instructions in their video tutorials that is part of the Socrates theme package. These include -

* Wordpress Installation Video

* Adsense for Wordpress

2. The Layout flexibility – Socrates has built-in flexibility and easy to implement layout options which can give a unique look to your websites. These options include -

a. Multiple Sidebar Layouts You have 5 options to layout the sidebars, each giving your websites a unique look-n-feel.

b. Over 200 Niche Header Designs – There have included over 200 header graphics to cover multiple niches, including business, health, nature, people. You have the option to easily upload your own designed header too (check out XHeaderPro if you want to create more headers).

c. Custom Styling and Color Options – Yes you have multiple options for backgrounds and theme color options, all designed to make your website unique.

d. Navigation panel options You an even configure the links that you want to appear in your navigation panel.

3. The Monetization options – The is the most important part and the Socrates theme delivers powerful options. Joel Comm's experience with Adsense is in play here when it comes to the ad placements – designed for optimum conversion. Here are the monetization options the Socrates theme gives you -

a. Built In Adsense and Clickbank Ad Bar – this 768×90 ad-bar placed right at the top of the page is a very effective placement. Here you can place Adsense ads, Clickbank ads or any other affiliate product banner.

b. Two HTML Ad blocks – you additionally have 2 custom ad blocks (220×90) which randomly rotate (each time the browser is refreshed) in the area adjacent to the leader-board. Here you can promote either Clickbank or any other affiliate product.

c. Ads in post and widgetized areas – You can also place ads in the individual posts, sidebars and footer bars.

Here are some ideas on what you can do to monetize your site -

i. Whydowork Adsense Plugin – This plugin allows you to auto insert Adsense code in your posts and pages without modifying the template.

ii. CBproAds – you can add rotating Clickbank text or image ads to your individual posts as well as the widgetized areas in the sidebar and footer (using the Text Widget)

iii. CBtagClouds – You can add keyword tags (displayed as a tag cloud) in your post or widgetized areas promoting Clickbank products.

iv. PrettyLinkPro Plugin – With PrettyLinkPro, you can add affiliate links to keywords within your post.

v. OpenX Ad Server – if you want rotating ads in your leader-board and widgetized areas, you can enable them by using the free OpenX AdServer (for more advanced Internet marketers)
