Rule No. 1, never use templates with footer links,
Either
1 - Design your own
OR
2 - Buy a legit copy which doesn't have links
There are 100000's of free themes available for wordpress, the problem is each one of it has an encrypted link to some nasty site (Imagine a church site linking to porn, without knowing about it). The problem with stolen copies is, hackers embed some nasty links, this could be porn, viagra, get out of debt or anything weird.
In the long run, its a bad idea to link back to a site that has nothing to do with your niche, it won't harm you (OP) to start a site using a free theme, but if you are planning to go in the long run, consider changing the theme.
Google does give marks for looks, and so do visitors.
Scenario 1 - A site which has 100% unique content, but isn't presented properly, an average user may find hard to navigate around....
Scenario 2 - A site with so-so content but presented in an excellent manner, is sure to gather interest.
The problem with html in long run is you end up with too much of code and to edit something you have to dig graves (I'm not sure how deep as I don't code)
I hope this helps and do check your PM.
