WordPress Traffic Automation Blueprint – Overview

Traffic is the lifeblood of most businesses online.

Discovering sustainable methods to increase visitors to your website is one of the fundamental skills of running a successful business online. Lack of web visitors is also one of the most common complaints made by website owners everywhere.

Why Do So Many Businesses Have Difficulty Attracting Visitors To Their Websites?

If you search for any of the information below in Google …

• “how to attract web traffic to your site”
• “attract visitors to my website for free”
• “ways to increase more visitors”
• “fastest ways to increase more visitors using StumbleUpon”
• “bring more customers to your web site”

… and you will find lists of sites that contain information about different strategies to help drive more website visitors …

(There are loads of methods to get more web traffic to your website. This article series will show you how to set up a system to benefit from all these traffic generation methods!)

There is clearly no shortage of ways to drive more visitors to your site. There are tons of products and free sites that can teach you effective methods to drive more visitors to your web site.

The problem often has more to do with businesses not investing sufficient time into learning how to grow web traffic sustainably, not setting up systems that allow them to manage the process effectively, and, in many cases, not even being aware that there are ways to configure your website to leverage and automate your web traffic generation.

The picture below shows how most small businesses typically approach the challenge of generating website traffic …

(This is how most website owners approach traffic generation)

Essentially, the typical approach most small businesses take is this: first, you get your website, and then you figure out ways of driving traffic to your site.

As we will show you in just a moment, there is a better approach.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that “outsourcing” your traffic generation will address this problem.

Outsourcing is great if you already have the systems in place to manage your traffic generation campaigns. If not, you will probably end up wasting a lot of your time and money searching for a positive ROI traffic-getting method.

(Without laying down a solid foundation and putting proper systems, traffic generation can become a costly waste of time and money!)

Getting continuous web traffic sustainably involves setting up a solid foundation online, implementing proper systems, testing campaign variables, experimenting with different strategies, tracking results, measuring ROI across different traffic generation methods, etc.

Is There A Simpler, Automated Way To Drive Website Traffic?

Imagine if all you had to do to automatically attract web traffic to your website was to regularly add content to your website.

This is not science fiction … it’s a fact! In fact, many website owners are currently already profiting with this automated traffic system … and so can you!

In this article series, you will discover the process of setting up an automated traffic generation system that will help drive targeted traffic to your site, simply by adding new content on a regular basis to your website.

How To Set Up An Automated Traffic Generation System

As you can see in the diagram below, the web traffic method we present in this article series involves 3 basic steps:

1. Set up specific systems to lay down a solid foundation for getting sustainable web traffic
2. Add web content on a regular basis to start driving traffic and generating traffic data
3. Start adding other traffic methods and test

(To generate sustainable web traffic, you first need to set up the right systems)

At this point, we’ll mostly be focusing on Step One. The purpose of this article series is to show you how to set up a traffic generation system that will ultimately:

• Save time using automation and leverage
• Save money by starting with a very simple setup and scaling up to suit your budget
• Automatically get your website content indexed faster in search engines
• Instantly share your content to all of your social media accounts (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)
• Access valuable data about your traffic generation strategies, monitor results, measure ROI, etc.
• Outsource traffic generation while maintaining full control of the process
• Grow your business online cost-effectively and sustainably

You can achieve all of the above using what we will refer to in this article series as an “expertly configured” WordPress website or blog …

(With an expertly configured WordPress site, you just post content and your site will do the rest!)

An Expertly Configured WordPress Site – What Is It?

An expertly configured WordPress website or blog is different than a professionally-configured WordPress site.

An expertly configured WordPress blog is a web site that is not only driven by WordPress, but has also been expertly set up and configured (either by yourself or professionally) to take advantage of the enormous power, features and functionality of WordPress and its integration with other sites, specifically in areas like search engine optimization, 3rd-party site syndication, and reporting.

Why Do I Need An Expertly Configured WordPress-Driven Website?

We provide a number of comprehensive articles on this site about the benefits of using WordPress-powered web sites to grow your business online.

Understanding why and how an “expertly configured” WordPress site will attract an ongoing stream of targeted traffic to your business requires a number of articles, which is why we highly recommend that you spend some time reading our other articles and consider subscribing to our site (this way, we can let you know when we publish new information on this topic).

Let’s start by answering these basic questions:

What makes WordPress so special? Why not use another web platform?

Take a look at the illustration below …

(Static vs Expertly Configured WordPress Site)

Many websites are traditionally built on platforms that create “static” websites. Essentially, this means that the website content simply sits inside the server waiting to be discovered. A static website doesn’t communicate with anything outside its application; it doesn’t ’ping’ anybody in the cybersphere or notify any other site when new content has recently been added to your site.

Think about it … if in a traditional website, your content simply sits there passively waiting to be found, then you have to continually find ways of promoting your web presence and your content to continue driving new visitors.

WordPress is different!

WordPress provides many features that allow users to set up, easily configure and build an automated “traffic generation” machine, where all you then need to do is add new content and WordPress will do the rest, immediately notifying various online properties about your site to generate you more website traffic …

(With an expertly configured WordPress website, you simply publish content and your site does the rest!)

An Automated Content Distribution, Traffic And Lead Generation, And Sales & Marketing System

With an expertly configured WordPress site, you can build more than just a website for your business … you can set up an automated traffic and lead generation and sales & marketing system, where all you do is publish your content and WordPress then automates the rest …

(Set up an automated content distribution, lead and traffic generation, and sales and marketing system with WordPress)

As your business evolves, you can add more functionality and automate processes like:

• Sell products and services with e-commerce,
• Capture leads with opt-in forms and add your subscribers to newsletters and autoresponders,
• Allow visitors to register on your site with different membership levels,
• And so much more!

You can do all of this using inexpensive WordPress plugins. Once these plugins are installed and configured on your site, just direct your visitors to the appropriate sections (e.g. your store, subscription forms, membership area, etc.)

The video below shows you what an expertly configured WordPress site can do for your business …

In Part 2 of The Website Traffic Blueprint overview, we break down the components of your automated web traffic machine:

• Setup – Learn the best way to start if you don’t have a web presence yet, or if you already have an existing site that may or may not have been built using WordPress.
• Configure – WordPress already comes with a number of built-in features and settings that can help you generate traffic. Learn what features and settings have to be configured for optimal benefit.
• Automate – Your traffic system not only requires expert configuration of internal WordPress settings but also the integration of your site’s built-in functionality with 3rd-party services and other sites (e.g. webmaster, analytics, and social media accounts).
• Publicize – After configuring your site settings and integrating your site with various external tools, all you have to do is publish new content regularly and WordPress will immediately notify and inform search engines, your social media accounts and other online properties about the new content, giving your content wider exposure online to new visitors.
• Optimize – We recommend beginning with a content marketing strategy to build sustainable traffic. With the right systems in place, you can also begin to monitor and understand your results and start gathering valuable data that will allow you to make more intelligent and cost-effective decisions when expanding to additional traffic generation strategies.
