Hello,
i have a blog about acne treatment through home remedies and medication which is ranking good for few keywords too.here is the link http://acnetreatmentandmedication.blogspot.com .Actually, I am not a web designer or anything so I decided to download template for my blogger rather then making one.When i put my blog for reviews in a forum I had a very negative response mostly which is rightly so i guess.
But, now I am looking to change it because people said it should give a more professional look and a bit of light colors too.But, before uploading the new template i decided to ask here first because i don't want to change it every other day which might cause me to loose the ranking in Google.So here i am giving demo links of few templates i picked.Please please please do reply me which one i have to go for.Because the website look is causing me a lot of pain and it is causing me to stop putting up new content because i am almost every time looking to make it look better.
Thanks a lot once again you guys are really helpful.

So please tell which one should option should i go for.

1) My Current Theme Is Good.

Wow, I guess I'm the only vote so far. It's hard to tell the difference between what you have now and what you want to have, without all the ads. I think all the ads in your site kinda steers me away.

I like your current theme, although when I was first directed to your blog, I was struggling between the ads and the actual post. So i guess you could make a little change on that. I suggest you put all the ads on the side. My boss said it's the best place for ads because as you scroll down the page you can still see them.

anyway i think you only have 3 adbrite links there. if you don't and can't move them from their current spot, I suggest you make a space between the "Your Ad Here" and "Get Rid of Blackheads". They are too close. If you put a space between them then you'd be able to identify that it is a blog post rather than an ad.

also, you should put the "Blogger Help" link next to "Navigation".

Remember too, that you must create new paragraphs for at least every 5 to 8 sentences. This is to make reading easier.

btw, I am not sure why it shows I voted for option 5 but I actually voted for the current theme.

I did read your blog and found helpful tips. I have stubborn blackheads that just won't go. I'm not that bothered because I'm a guy, but it wouldn't hurt if i got rid of them.

thanks

Whats the difference between option 5 and your current?
They are the same template aren't they?

Anyway I don't think there is anything wrong with the professionalism of
the site.

But what you may not know is that this theme is actually the
default theme for Drupal (a very popular free content management system).
So there are thousands of websites launched by newby Drupalers that look
exactly the same as yours.

Think about your audience.
Which theme is likely to appeal to them?
If your target is teenagers/young 20 somethings I
would suggest that all the themes look
a bit too corporate.

I would keep looking at other theme options.
You should think about moving your blog over
to WordPress.com and you'll find a lot more
free themes over there.

Good SEO on your site by the way.
Well done.

Keep the paragraphs short.
Add some YouTube content.
Include an "AddThis" button
and start Tweeting like crazy.

And if Ad revenue is your thing you'll
probably get a better return Google Adsense.
The current Ad content on your site looks hopeless.
