The best places to post don't take new themes. Most themes are now sold commercially. The world is arife with free downloadable themes. Unless you have a special niche theme (ie. Xbox or video games) and a place to distribute the theme, I don't think sponsoring a theme is a very good way to get backlinks these days. Hi Donai,

I had been told to look into sponsoring a wordpress theme as a source of good and cheap backlinks, but knew very little about this method. You haven't put me off the idea completely, but you have made me very wary! The guy that suggested I try this had sponsored a couple of themes for a something like $50 a piece and so far has gained a few hundred links from each, some with very good PR. And the numbers are continuing to grow, so he was quite pleased! Many thanks - I'll keep searching. Phil Alec, thanks for this.

I collected 5 theme on Naruto (The Anime), all were free domain, and repacacked them with a footer link to my money site. Some people said thanks for the packet. But I never searched out the footprint to see how many links stuck; ultimately I let that money site go and any links still pointing to to it are dead links. It was good practice Truestory, though the ethics are grey and I probably will not repeat this same strategy due to poor internal returns…
