WordPress Traffic Automation Blueprint – Overview

Traffic is the lifeblood of almost every business online.

Learning how to attract new visitors to your website is essential to running a successful web presence. Lack of website visitors is also one of the most common complaints made by website owners everywhere.

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

Search for any of the following information in Google …

• “how to increase more web traffic to my web site”
• “increase more web traffic to my website”
• “ideas to increase more web site visitors”
• “learn how to drive web traffic using banner ads”
• “I need free web traffic”

… and you will find lists of pages that contain information about different methods to help get more website visitors …

(There are many ways to get more website visitors. This article series will help you set up a simple system to benefit from most of these traffic generation methods!)

There is clearly no shortage of ways to drive more visitors to your website. There are tons of tutorials and free information online that can show you how to bring more visitors to your website.

The problem is often more about businesses not investing enough time into learning how to drive traffic sustainably, not setting up systems for managing the traffic generation process effectively, and, in many cases, not even being aware that there are ways to configure your site to leverage and automate your web traffic generation.

The illustration below shows the typical approach many businesses take when it comes to generating traffic to their sites …

(This is how many site owners approach the challenge of generating web traffic)

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

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

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

Outsourcing is useful if you have systems set up to manage your traffic generation campaigns. If not, all you will probably do is end up spending a lot of time and money looking for a winning traffic method.

(Without a solid foundation and the right systems in place, traffic generation can be a costly waste of time and money!)

Getting web traffic sustainably requires setting up a solid foundation online, putting systems in place, testing elements in your campaigns, experimenting with different strategies, tracking results, comparing ROI across different traffic generation solutions, etc.

Is There A Way To Automate The Process Of Getting More Web Traffic?

Imagine if you owned a website where the only thing you had to do to automatically attract targeted visitors to your web site was to publish content consistently.

This is not science fiction … it’s a fact! Many website owners are already doing what we have described above … and so can you!

In the Website Traffic Blueprint article series, you will learn the process of setting up an automated traffic machine that will help begin to drive web traffic to your business, simply by publishing regular content to your web site.

How To Set Up A System That Will Automatically Drive More Traffic To Your Website

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

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

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

Right now, we’re mostly concerned with Step 1. The aim of our article series is to explain how to set up a traffic generation system that will ultimately:

• Save time using automation and leverage
• Save money in many different ways
• Automatically get your web content indexed faster in search engines
• Instantly share your content to all of your social media accounts (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.)
• Gain valuable insights about your traffic generation campaigns, track results, measure ROI, etc.
• Outsource traffic generation while maintaining full control of the process
• Grow your business online cost-effectively and sustainably

All of the above can be achieved using what we will refer to in this article series as an “expertly configured” WordPress site …

(With an expertly configured WordPress website, you just publish new content and your website then does the rest!)

An Expertly Configured WordPress Web Site – What Is It?

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

An expertly configured WordPress web site is a web site that is not only powered by WordPress, but has also been expertly set up and configured (either by yourself or professionally) to take advantage of the tremendous power, features and functionality of WordPress and how it integrates with various services, specifically in areas like search engine optimization, content syndication, and reporting.

Why Use An Expertly Configured WordPress-Driven Web Site?

We have published many great articles on this site about the benefits of using WordPress-powered sites to grow your business online.

Understanding how an “expertly configured” WordPress blog will help drive targeted visitors to your business requires a number of articles, which is why we recommend that you spend some time reading our content and subscribe to our site (this way, we can let you know when we publish new content on this topic).

Let’s start by answering these basic questions:

Why use WordPress to set up an automated traffic generation system? Why not use some other web platform?

Take a look at the diagram below …

(Static vs Expertly Configured WordPress Website)

Many sites are built on applications that create “static” websites. Essentially, what this means is that your content simply sits inside your server waiting to be found. By itself, a static website doesn’t communicate with anything outside its application; it doesn’t send out signals to anybody in the cybersphere or notify any other site when new content has recently been published.

Think about it … if with a traditional website, your content simply sits in a server passively waiting to be found, then you have to constantly promote your web presence and your content to continue driving new visitors.

WordPress is different!

WordPress provides several features that allow site owners to set up, configure and build an automated “traffic generation” machine, where all you then need to do is post new content and your website will do the rest, instantly notifying various online properties about your site to drive your business more web site traffic …

(With an expertly configured WordPress website, you simply post new content and your website 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 Web Site Traffic Blueprint overview, we go over the components of your automated online 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 to help you generate traffic. Learn what features and settings have to be configured for best results.
• Automate – Your traffic machine not only requires expert configuration of internal WordPress settings but also integrating your site’s built-in functionality with 3rd-party services and other web properties (e.g. webmaster, analytics, and social media accounts).
• Publicize – After configuring your site settings and integrating your site with various third-party tools, all you have to do is publish new content on a regular basis and WordPress will immediately notify and inform search engines, your social media pages and other online properties about the new content, giving your content wider exposure online to potential new visitors.
• Optimize – We recommend starting with a content-based strategy to build traffic organically. With the right systems in place, you can then begin to monitor and analyze your incoming traffic and gather valuable information that will allow you to make better decisions when using different traffic generation strategies.
