Using a Wordpress theme for multi sites?

[Harry P]

I have a premium wordpress theme that I bought from a thememarketplace, I have made changes on it for SEO friendly. But the problem is, I used this theme more than 10 blog sites. Does this affect to SEO ranking if I use just only a theme for all sites. Should I change or buy a new theme for new sites?

It's fine, you can use the same theme in many sites and it doesn't affect SEO score. Google algorithm allows that. Imagine that many WordPress sites using popular themes like Genesis, Twenty Sixteen, Zerif Lite etc being penalized, that is not a good idea, right?

Using same WordPress theme to multiple sites have no effect on SEO. All you have to care about is that the content are must be unique and are of good quality and relevant to the users.

Hi Harry,

You are perfectly fine using the same theme on any number of sites you want without any SEO issues. As long as you aren't duplicating the content to all the other sites, you will not have any SEO problems.

Many WordPress users do this all the time, so it's not too unusual for people to do.

Your sites will be fine and have no negative SEO issues due to the theme or the mods you made to it.

I used to hear a lot of talk about marketers being worried that using the same theme over and over again leaves too much of a digital footprint, but I use the same theme on a lot of my smaller niche sites -- have like six or seven of them -- and I haven't had any problems at all. I'm one of those people that can take forever just to choose a theme and stuff, and I just got to the point where having a site up and content on it was more important, I stuck with what I know. Out of all the sites I have, I only use two different themes. I'm building one now, which will use a different theme than the other two, but I'm pretty consistent.

I think It's no any problem. Everyone have many sites with similar themes. The most important in SEO is not theme.

It's doesn't matter, you can use wordpress theme for multi sites - Each page have a SEO optimize own, can't be merge like that. I can suggest you a good theme for SEO : Genesis Framework. Hope you will like it and good luck for your site.

I think no problem because I'm using only one theme for my 4 blogs. It does not affect anything. However each blog should have unique content and is in different niches.

I don't think it would be any problem to use the same theme on multiple sites.

It can fine, you can use a similar theme in many sites and it doesn't impact SEO score. Yahoo algorithm allows that. Imagine that many WordPress sites using well-known themes like Genesis, Twenty Sixteen, Zerif Lite etc becoming penalized, that is not a good option, right?

I do believe no problem because My organization is using only one subject for my some blogs. It does not impact anything. However every single blog should have exceptional content and is in several niches.

Same theme doesn't affect the SEO but if you are optimizing your site according to your niche services and using share unique niche content on it. The themes that you are choosing, must be SEO friendly there if you want your site at the top of the Search Engine.
