How much does a wp theme matter?

[beks001]

Does it really matter what theme someone is using? Does it help with regards to SEO at all? Or is it all about the content?

of course it matters - choosing a good theme (in terms of layout / coding / structure) is the first thing i do, when it comes to on-page seo.

Read up on SEO.

How you present your content helps when it's easy accessible and easy to navigate.

Good theme creates a larger e-penis, that is what really matters.

I think plugins/extensions/modules/blades or what ever Word Press calls them plays a greater roll in on site SEO than the theme or template does. I always felt the template was more to make the site sticky to surfers than Search Engines.

it ALWAYS just comes down to a color scheme anyway

The same as any website design. But looks are not what makes it great it needs to be made smart.
