Hi Elise Cowen,

First off all i want to say thanks for the post you made.

But in my opinion you should correct some information about couple themes.

Please don’t take my comment as hostile.

I just want people to know and choose the right and correct theme for their projects.

You did mention in the beginning of your post:

“Instructions given by the search engines:

These SEO friendly WordPress themes will be effective for search engines and impressive for the visitors.”

It is true, but there a big “BUT” what actually is real SEO friendly themes.

I don’t know how much knowledge you have about SEO, but anyway let me explain.

In many cases allot of themes call themselves SEO friendly just for to make more sells.

It doesn’t mean that they are actually SEO optimized.

It is true that search engines tell us that SEO optimized WordPress themes will be more effective in ranking etc.

But there some rules for that to.

For example basic stuff that all search engines requires:

Should be used only once per page/homepage.

Can be used several time for really important stuff.

In for the most part totally useless according to search engines, under this tag should be stuff like comments, widget-title etc.

For the rest H4, H5, H6 is totally ignored by search engines, it’s just for decoration. In my opinion people can use css for custom decoration, witch is far better.

Now let’s take a look at themes you mention:

Gadgetry

Has no H1. This theme is not SEO friendly.

Discover

Has around 5 H1 in the home page, nothing SEO friendly about that theme.

Fizz

This one is actually fully SEO optimized, like it should be.

Customizr

Has 3 H1 tag, same here it’s not SEO friendly.

iFeature

Has no H1. It’s not SEO optimized at all.

Destro

Same with this theme, has no H1. It’s not SEO optimized.

ELove

Swarms with H1 tag at homepage and therefore not SEO optimized.

SimpleCorp

I actually like this one, it’s SEO optimized like it should be and has really nice simple design.

Swift

Is SEO optimized.

Custom

First of all this theme is not SEO optimized.

There no H1 and H2 tags at homepage. And for second it coast $49, witch in my opinion is rip off.

To round this up there is only 3 themes that completely fall under category SEO optimized theme:

Fizz, SimpleCorp, Swift.

  Maybe she don’t know what H1 or even SEO… anyway thank you man for your brilliant post. Most of the so called SEO optimized Themes are not. In my point of view the best SEO Themes for wordpress are the Studio Press.
