8. Fresheezy

Fresheezy is another website that lets you download interesting and professinally-designed Wordpress themes for free. Its gallery is huge so you might need more time to find a theme that tickles your fancy. There’s only one problem I noticed with some of the Wordpress themes. Some of the themes don’t look good when used with Wordpress 2.5+.

9. WPSkins

Talking about the largest collection of free Wordpress themes. WPSkins probably offers it. But then again, since the collection is large, you will have to spend more time browsing. Also, I’ve noticed that some of the themes especially the older ones, don’t work well with Wordpress 2.5+.

10. ProWordpressThemes

Looking for simple yet elegant free Wordpress themes? You might find one at ProWordpressThemes. The themes look the same but the color combination differs giving you with more option. A link to demo sites and download is available for your convenience.

In the coming days, I should be compiling more websites that offer free Wordpress themes. The next post will be all about Wordpress themes that are optimized for Google Adsense and are guaranteed to boost your Adsense income. Watch out for that post.

Running a contest is an effective strategy to drive more traffic and increase backlinks to your blog. Unfortunately, most contest run online fail because some organizers fail to realize that although running a contest is a promotional strategy, it also needs to be promoted.

Contest blogs are blogs dedicated to providing their readers and subscribers with information about the latest contests online. Most of them would love to write about your contest. You just need to inform them about it.
