Fact: When ever a premium product is launched within a day or two a cracked version of product is available on forums or on torrent site. Same is with Thesis WordPress theme. Thesis is a premium WordPress theme whose single user license cost 87$ and developer user license cost 164$, which is a lot but worth every penny you spent buying Thesis theme. Though despite of being very serious about Blogging and SEO for their blog many bloggers try to search for “Download Free Thesis Theme” on various search engine and torrent sites. Some of them even become lucky to get their hands on Free copy of Thesis theme.
First thing which I would like to say: There ain’t no such thing as free lunch.
Such Premium WordPress themes which are added on such torrent sites or forums are usually hacked theme and comes with malicious code. Such malicious code, redirect readers to some other site, pass on juice. In worst case scenario your blog will get penalize from major search engines like Google.
By the time you will realize all this, it will be too late to recover and you have to rely on Google webmaster reconsideration tool.
I was working on one of the client site who was using latest version of Thesis: Thesis 1.8. While working on site I found few malicious code inside his theme file which was pointing to some casino based site.
