Seems a number of you are hacking wordpress themes lately. It’s not a bad idea from a genuine ‘black hat’ point of view. Basically they are taking existing themes and “hiding” links in the background or in other places.
There is a good write up on how “NOT” to do this over at zenzoomie. However, I’ve found that releasing themes is a great way to build a pretty massive amount of links relatively quickly.
Adding in functionality for plug ins like Ultimate tag warrior seems to help too.
Hey let’s face it. When you have a site about ‘xyz’ and you want to get links back to you – the easiest way is to release a WP theme on the same topic. It takes just a little more effort than cheating and it’s perfectly legit.
