Hey Guys, so as most of you have noticed by now I’m sure (since you’re here) I’ve been doing some updates to the Click Consultants Theme and how it looks, where things are, etc. The biggest thing I wanted to accomplish was to get the content up higher so I removed the three big boxes from the top which had the RSS feed subscribe, recent articles, and most popular articles. Of course all of these features are still on the site, they are just in different spots now!
You’ll also notice that I’ve added a bar right under the Click Consultants logo which has my list of recommend CPA Networks and Favorite Keyword Tools. I constantly have people ask me which networks and tools I use so I thought by just having a list at the top it would eliminate (hopefully 
) everyone having to ask me. I’ll keep it updated so if I find a better keyword tool, I’ll remove whichever one I’m no longer using and put up the new one. The same goes for the CPA networks in the top bar.
I’ve removed some different blog widgets that I don’t feel were doing any good for the blog (at all) and have just been too lazy to get them taken off. To be more precise, I’ve removed 2 widgets including Entrecard and Blog Rush. Neither of these provided any “real” traffic to the site and just took up space promoting some lame service.
I’ve added a couple new things in the sidebar to take their place. I’ve added a Poll which I’ll be keeping updated with just some simple questions, so make sure you check that out. Also, I’ve added a Friend Me section where you can add me as a friend on some different services including Youtube, Viddler, Twitter, Facebook, etc. I look foward to your friend requests and adds!
I still have several things I want to do before I can say that the Theme is 100% complete (at least for the time being) but it may take me a couple days to finish up these small things. Which small things you ask? I’m going to be redoing the categories of this site as when I started this blog I’ll be honest, I didn’t know crap about blogs and I used my categories more like Tags instead of Categories. In fact, I don’t even put my articles in Categories besides the default Affiliate Marketing one because nothing ever seems to fit anywhere and I didn’t want to have 100+ categories!
Anyways, so look out for a couple more subtle changes and I hope you guys like the new changes that have been happening around here. Next up is the CC Forums, tons of new content and stuff coming out soon! Almost got it all completed!

Hey Derek, I like the new look! A lot cleaner and I like that you decided to move the content up more. I recently redid the design of my blog as I had a similar setup as your old one and wanted to move my content way up. I had the 3 boxes across the top of the page and they were just taking up way too much space. Along with the categories and tags being completely reversed plus I had categories and tags with the same name!
I like the color change when hovering over the networks, Chow has the same setup, it looks really nice and adds some extra color to the gray.
I didn’t even know you were on Twitter, I will admit that I don’t check out your blog as often as I should (kind of got out of PPC for awhile) but you do have some great content on here. Looking forward to the new changes and future posts
Hey Jarrett, I’m glad you like the new updates and as I said there are still a couple more things to come, so make sure you stay tuned and don’t go away again!
Also, I just took a look at your site and you also have some good content and I definitely agree taking the 3 big boxes out was a good idea.
