But the features generally arn't needed by your average blogger. Witch make up the majority of WordPress users.

I've always felt that premium themes are a nice bridge between free and custom themes. @ Cal - Sounds like a great idea for a post and maybe get some ready input. I personally like to have my themes randomized, but I think for the purpose of a premium theme that doesn't require the use of a plugin, having a separate file to paste the code in would ideal. I think if someone is investing in a premium theme, they probably intend to monetize their blogs, so having 125x125 banner slots and pre-determined ad blocks, that would go a long way towards impressing potential buyers. I've found the best way is to make a AdSense300x250 php file and call it in the appropriate spots. This makes it almost effortless for the buyer to paste their code into the single php file. @ Thilak – Custom designs are definitely the best (or self-made designs), but most people can’t afford them.

Sometimes it's hard for us theme developers to get inside the theme users head, so any advice you have is more than appreciated. For Example. If I were to code into a theme an area in the sidebar for the 125 x 125 banners, how would you want it to work? A single ads.php file where you could insert the code yourself? If you could give details or more ideas for us theme developers, I'm sure you'll start to see them pop up.... Later Nice article Kyle.

The best option would be to get your theme custom designed by someone. I ran a sitepoint contest and picked the best one. I agree with you.
