WordPress Traffic Automation Blueprint – Overview

Web Traffic Blueprint Part 1 - A Complete Guide To Increasing Your Website Visitors Automatically With WordPressAlmost every business needs a constant stream of traffic to prosper online.

Learning how to generate more traffic to your website is one of the fundamental skills of building a business online successfully. Getting traffic to a website is also one of the greatest challenges faced by almost every web site owner.

Why Are So Many Businesses Struggling To Drive More Visitors To Their Websites?

Search for any of the phrases below in Google …

  • “how to drive more visitors to my web site”
  • “how can I drive web traffic to my website”
  • “ideas to attract more web traffic”
  • “ways to increase web traffic using videos”

… and you will be presented with loads of tips, tricks, and information about different ways to help you drive more visitors to your website …

There are lots of strategies to get more web traffic to your website. This article series is designed to help you set up a system to take advantage of all these traffic generation strategies!

(There are lots of strategies to get more website visitors. In this article series you will learn how to set up a simple system to take advantage of many of these traffic generation methods!)

Clearly, there is no shortage of ways to drive more visitors to your web site. There are thousands of products and free sites online that can teach you cost-effective ways to increase visitors to your site.

The problem is often more about business owners not investing sufficient time into learning how to drive web traffic sustainably, not setting up systems to manage the traffic generation process effectively, and, in many cases, not even being aware that there are things you can do to automate and leverage your web traffic generation.

The illustration below shows how many small businesses approach the process of generating website traffic …

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

As you will discover in just a moment, there is a smarter way.

Useful Information

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that ”outsourcing” your traffic generation to professionals will eliminate the problem.

There is nothing wrong with outsourcing if you have systems set up to manage your traffic generation activities. If not, you will probably end up investing a lot of time and money searching for a winning method that can deliver you a positive ROI.

Without a solid foundation and proper systems in place, online traffic generation can end up being very costly!

(Without a solid foundation and the right systems in place, web traffic generation can end up being a costly activity!)

Sustainable traffic generation requires laying a solid foundation online, implementing systems, testing elements in your campaigns, experimenting with different methods, tracking results, comparing ROI across different traffic generation methods, and so on.

Is There A Simpler, Automated Way To Get Website Visitors?

Imagine if all you had to do to instantly attract new targeted traffic to your website was to regularly publish valuable content to your web site.

This is not science fiction … it’s a fact! Many website owners are already doing this … and you can too!

In our article series, we will show you how to create an automated traffic system that can help begin delivering an ongoing stream of targeted traffic to your site, simply by publishing 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 discuss in this article series involves three basic steps:

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

Getting continuous web traffic sustainably requires laying a solid foundation online and putting the right systems in place

(To generate sustainable traffic, you need to first put in the right systems)

Right now, we’re mostly concerned with Step One. The purpose of our article series is to explain the process of setting up a traffic generation system that will ultimately:

  • Save time using automation and leverage
  • Save money by starting simple and scaling things intelligently
  • Automatically notify search engines
  • Instantly notify and publicize your content to all of your social media accounts (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.)
  • Access valuable data about your traffic generation methods, 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 throughout our article series as an “expertly configured” WordPress site

With an expertly configured WordPress site, you just add content and WordPress does the rest, informing other sites about your content and bringing you back traffic!

(With an expertly configured WordPress website, you just post new content and WordPress then does the rest, notifying other sites about your content and bringing you back traffic!)

An Expertly Configured WordPress Website – What Is It?

An expertly configured WordPress web site is not the same as a professionally-configured WordPress web site.

An ”expertly configured” WordPress website or blog is a site that is not only powered by the WordPress CMS platform, but has also been expertly set up and configured (either by yourself or professionally) to take full advantage of the enormous power, features and functionality of WordPress and its integration with other sites, specifically in areas like SEO, content syndication, and analytics.

Why Do I Need An Expertly Configured WordPress-Powered Site?

We write extensively on this site about the benefits of using WordPress to grow your business online.

Understanding how and why an “expertly configured” WordPress website can help begin delivering targeted traffic to your business requires several articles, which is why we really recommend that you spend some time reading our content and consider subscribing to this site (this way, you will be informed when we publish new information on this topic).

Let’s start by addressing these basic questions:

Why do you need to use WordPress to set up an automated traffic generation system? What does WordPress offer that other web platforms don’t?

Take a look at the illustration below …

Static vs Expertly Configured WordPress Site

(Static vs Expertly Configured WordPress Website)

Many sites are built on platforms that create websites with “static” web pages. Essentially, this means that the website content mostly sits inside the server waiting to be discovered. The static website doesn’t communicate with anyone outside the application; it doesn’t broadcast to anybody in the cybersphere or inform any other website that new content has recently been added to your site.

Think about it … if in a static website, your content simply sits in a server passively waiting to be found, then you have to actively continue promoting your site and your content to continue bringing in new visitors.

WordPress is different!

The WordPress platform provides a number of features that give site owners the ability to set up, easily configure and build an automated “online traffic generation” machine, where all you then need to do is add new content and your site does the rest, instantly notifying search engines, social media and other online properties about your new content to drive your business new web site traffic …

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 …

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

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 online traffic machine:

  • Setup – Learn the best way to start if you don’t have a website yet, or if you already have an existing site that may or may not have been built using WordPress.
  • Configure – By default, WordPress already comes with a number of built-in features and settings to help you generate traffic. Learn what features and settings have to be expertly configured for maximum benefit.
  • Automate – Your traffic machine requires not only internal WordPress settings to be configured but also an integration of your built-in WordPress features with external services and other online properties (e.g. webmaster, analytics, and social media accounts).
  • Publicize – After your site has been configured and integrated with various external tools, all you have to do is publish new content regularly and WordPress will instantly notify and inform search engines, your social media pages and other online properties about the new content, giving your content wider exposure online to more web visitors.
  • Optimize – We recommend beginning with a content publishing strategy to build organic traffic. With the right systems in place, you can begin to measure and analyze incoming traffic and gather valuable data that will allow you to make better decisions when expanding to other traffic generation strategies.
