Sponsored theme in WordPress

One popular way to build easy incoming links is to have a web designer build you an open source WordPress blog template with your link embedded. You then distribute the template for free to anyone who wants to use it to spruce up their blog.

This led to mortgage companies, credit card companies, and all kinds of other businesses sponsoring WordPress themes in exchange for those easy links. It's gotten a bit out of hand, and Matt had this to say on the subject in his presentation slides:
Don't use sponsored theme - can lose all your trust in different search engines.

Where you can open free blogs

1. Most popular for sure is http://www.blogger.com pr9
It's very comfortable recourse with many integrated facilities
Even if you don't know html it's very easy to add new build-in elements on the side bar. If you know html you can add some scripts for template manually.
For example script of statcounter if you want to know how many visitors were on your blog, from where them came and with what keywords.
You can open number of blogs on one account.
For opening new blog on the Blogger you have to open Google account before.
Now I discovered that blogger also gives opportunity to connect own domain to the free account, but I still need to learn how to do it.

2. Wordpress.com pr8
One of the biggest advantage of the Wordpress is the possibility to buy your own domain and to connect it to your free wordpress blog.
Wordpress gives you some statistic with referrers and keywords but only for 2 last days.
You can open number of blogs on one account.

3. MySpace pr8 - very popular resourse where you can add many friends.
My opinion is that free MySpace is not so comfortable for blogging.
You don't have good statistic - just number of visits for all period of time, for last week and fot today.

4. www.blogigo.com - home page just pr4
It's works relative slowly, gives stat info during the last month - number of visits and number of pages views for every day.
You have to update html in the pop-up window.
The advantage - many extentions are available - co.uk, de, fr etc.

5. www.blog.com/ - pr6
You can open only one blog on the free account.
There is the blog ads between your posts in the free version.

6. http://www.vox.com/ pr8
There is the google ads between the posts.

7. http://blog.360.yahoo.com
You can open blog wih your yahoo email id.

8. http://www.livejournal.com/ pr8 - very popular and old web resourse for blogging.
It's available in many languages.
There is a 3 level of privacy on livejournal - you can post in public format, only for friends, for some groupe of friends and private.
If you have a long post you can hide part of it under the special tag.
There is not access to the template of blog.
Only one sitewide link is available.
