For those of you who do not understand how distributing free templates resulted in $$, here is simple explanation:

• You build templates, offering them either for free or for certain $$
• People download your templates, use them for blogs/social network profiles.
• Template contain link to your website/blog, creating natural backlinks from multiple sites
  
• Backlinks raise your credibility with search engines and raise your ranking within Blog Search Engines
