I try to learn cloning theme for wordpress.
I create Babeku WP-Magz inspirated by Eramuslim.com.
But, the theme is still not finished, so, costumize still limited.
Even your theme looks like a clone of http://psdtuts.com :P
WP Max is awesome.
Thanks for the post.
There’s this Chrome theme and the Deviant art theme :-)
is there a clone of mtv for wordpres? anyone?
I wonder if these familiar “cloned” themes have an impact on how long readers stay on the site.
If they stay longer, that would probably have an positive impact on SEO as far as Google is concerned.
Has anyone tested this?
well,
i was aware of all themes, except 2 of them.
Nice article.
Apparently, you forgot Smells Like Facebook by me :)
@Nazieb: and WordPress said your theme is “An exact clone of Facebook layout”..
LOL
I agree with Laura, not just because she looks cute :-)
@Themen: Yes, I agree with you. Unless or untill these clones themes have any positive SEO results, it is of no use to discover such cloned themes.
Have anyone tested for posivtive results?
