Intelli Theme – About the author?

Coming from Adsense Flippers have created 1000s of small content websites to earn money via Adsense, making 5 figure incomes every month through from ad revenue and flipping their sites. It really is impressive, and they’ve rightly developed a loyal following due to their honest strategy to Internet marketing

The amount of sites they create is amazing, often numbering into the 100?s every month.Each site they create must be optimized to earn from ads as best as possible. They spend a great deal of time testing, tweaking and analyzing niche site design, ad placement, ad-type across different niches.

Intelli Theme – About the product ?

The ONLY WordPress Theme that automatically optimizes your website for optimal clicks and earnings. Intellitheme does the split testing and optimization for you, allowing you to focus more time on site creation and scaling your business.

IntelliTheme is exclusive in the world of WordPress themes. Unlike any WordPress theme currently available, IntelliTheme doesn’t require users to manually modify settings to be able to optimize their websites. Rather, IntelliTheme fluidly adapts to visitor feedback.
Intellitheme is developed to optimize your niche sites for highest profitability and usability whilst giving users the opportunity to monitor and split test different layouts in order to see, which works best.

The theme is the brainchild of Justin and Joe from Adsense Flippers and was developed with the help of their intern, John DeVries. If anybody knows how to optimize adsense sites it is these guys, with their experience creating and selling (or “flipping”) hundreds of these kinds of websites.

Features of Intelli Theme

  • Five preset layouts ready to activate.
  • Slider controls which dictate how often each preset appears (you can have two or three alternating, hence the split-testing).
  • Ready made advert areas. Simply create your ads in adsense and copy and paste, they’ll appear on the site and start tracking.
  • Controls over colors, fonts and tags as well as header image uploads.
  • Easy analytics. Just copy your analytics identification code, paste it in the designated area and you’re good to go.
  • Statistics including page views, clicks and CTR and the option to monitor these over a set period and compare one theme vs. another.
Take a look at some screenshots of the IntelliTheme design below:

It’s horrible isn’t it!! The design looks like it was made 10 years ago for people who are still stuck on 56k modems. This was by design. You can disagree with the tactics of niche website affiliates however it has been proved that simple designs like this generate the most income.

Most Adsense WordPress themes have a similar design and have useful options for automatically inserting your Google Adsense code into key widget areas. IntelliTheme has one feature that puts it ahead of the crowd: Split Testing. The way it’s set up is nothing short of genius.

There are 5 default presets: Tower Right, Tower Left, Central Bank, East Side and Sandlot. Each preset has a different combination and the frequency in which that preset is shown can be changed from normal to less often or more often.

The settings for each preset are hidden. To show the options for each preset, you simply need to click on the settings button at the right hand side.

Each preset could be considered a different theme in it’s own right with different colours, images and ad placements. In the options area you can upload a unique image for each preset and configure the colour scheme through 6 main areas: Background, Header, Inner Sidebar, Outer Sidebar, Links and Footer.

The type of font for 6 different areas can be customised: Website Title, Page Title, Post Title, Sidebar Headings, Content and Links. And for each area you can define the font size from 10 to 48 px and choose from 5 font families: Verdana, Arial, Times, Georgia, Lucida Grande and Helvetica.

The site description can also be disabled and there’s a useful option to redirect Google Images traffic directly to your website instead of seeing the image overlay. Redirecting the traffic from Google Images should give you a slight boost in traffic.

Each preset has different ad configurations. Some of the presets displayed 4 ads whilst others display 5 or 6. You don’t have to add an advertisement to each ad area; it’s up to you how many ads you want to display.

Whilst I’ve no doubt that most people will use IntelliTheme for creating Google Adsense websites, the way the theme is set up, you can use it to optimise earnings from any ad network.

The theme also allows you to easily track your website traffic by simply entering the unique Google Analytics identifier. This is something which can be easily added to any theme by modifying one theme template. Clearly this additional option was added to streamline the process of setting up new websites and tracking their traffic levels.

The main statistics dashboard highlights how each preset is performing you. It shows page views, clicks, click through rates and accuracy. You need to pay close attention to your stats and change the frequency of the presets being displayed accordingly i.e. show better performing ad set ups more often. Alternatively, if you feel that you have gathered enough data, you can disable the lower performing ad set ups and only use the best performing preset.

How Does Intelli Theme Shape Up?

To test out intellitheme, I installed it on one of my existing niche sites and then created a completely new site to utilize the theme. The new site obviously hasn’t ranked yet, so I haven’t been able to check out the stats, but that’s why I’ve used an existing site too.



In the short time the theme has been installed on the site, I have already seen an increase in my click through rate, which is exactly what it is designed for. Something I’ve really struggled with along my journey is CTR, and some users have been reporting that theirs has increased to up to 6% – if that happens with the sites I have created my earnings will increase by around 500% and so far it is looking good! If it can up your click through rate like this then IntelliTheme can pay for itself in virtually no time.

To get to your ideal CTR and maximize the potential of your site you may have to tweak, but that is exactly what they’ve made easy to do.
It isn’t rocket science what the theme does, but it is clever, and does things that I haven’t really seen implemented well elsewhere online. I can see how the placement of the ads has a huge impact on click through, and they have clearly spent a long time testing exactly what works for them.

Your site might not look unbelievably beautiful, but the themes are nice enough. I could find nicer themes elsewhere if we’re just talking about aesthetics, but to be honest the purpose of my niche sites isn’t to look stunning, it is to be easy to use and make money, and I can’t imagine another theme doing this better.
