WordPress Traffic Automation Blueprint – Overview

WordPress Web Traffic Blueprint Part 1 - Learn How To Turn Your Website Into A Web Traffic MachineTraffic is the lifeblood of almost every business online.

Learning cost-effective methods to increase visitors to your website is vital to running an online presence successfully. Lack of web traffic is also one of the most common complaints made by website owners everywhere.

Why Are So Many Businesses Having Difficulty Bringing More Visitors To Their Websites?

(There are lots of methods to get more web traffic to your web site. In this article series you will learn how to set up a simple system to benefit from all these traffic generation methods!)

There is clearly no shortage of ways to drive more traffic to your website. There are loads of tutorials and free information that can show you ways to bring more visitors to your web site.

The problem often has more to do with businesses not investing sufficient time into learning how to generate 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 automate and leverage your web traffic generation.

The diagram below shows the typical approach many businesses take when it comes to generating website traffic …

This is how many website owners approach the challenge of generating website traffic

(This is how many businesses approach the challenge of generating traffic to their sites)

Essentially, the approach most small businesses typically take is this: first, you get your website, and then you figure out how to drive traffic to your website.

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

Important Info

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

Outsourcing is great if you already have systems set up to manage your traffic generation activities. If not, you will probably end up investing a lot of time and money looking for a profitable traffic strategy.

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

(Without a solid foundation and the right systems, website traffic generation can end up becoming a costly waste of time and money!)

Sustainable traffic generation involves setting up a solid foundation online, implementing the right systems, testing campaign elements, experimenting with different strategies, tracking results, comparing ROI across different traffic generation solutions, and so on.

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

Imagine owning a website where the only thing you had to do to instantly attract targeted traffic to your web site was to regularly add content to your website.

This is not science fiction … it’s a fact! In fact, many website owners already have some or all of the requirements in place for this to happen … and so can you!

In our WordPress Traffic Blueprint article series, we will show you how to create an automated traffic machine that can help begin to drive targeted traffic to your site, simply by publishing new content to your website on a regular basis.

How To Set Up An Automated Web Traffic System

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

  1. Set up specific systems to lay down a solid foundation for driving sustainable web traffic
  2. Add web content on a regular basis to drive visitors and generate data organically
  3. Add other traffic strategies and test

Sustainable traffic generation involves laying a solid foundation online and implementing the right systems

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

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

  • Save time using leverage and automation
  • Save money by starting with a simple setup and scaling things to suit your budget
  • Automatically notify 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, 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 web site

With an expertly configured WordPress site, you just add content and WordPress does the rest!

(With an expertly configured WordPress site, you simply post new content and WordPress will then do the rest!)

What Is An Expertly Configured WordPress Website?

An expertly configured WordPress website is not the same thing as a professionally-configured WordPress website.

An expertly configured WordPress blog is a web site that is not only driven by the WordPress CMS, but has also been expertly set up and configured (either by yourself or professionally) to take advantage of the enormous power, ease-of-use and built-in functionality of WordPress and how it can be integrated with various sites, specifically in areas like search engine optimization, 3rd-party site syndication, and analytics.

Why Do I Need An Expertly Configured WordPress Website?

We write extensively on this site about why you should choose WordPress-powered web sites the WordPress platform to grow your business online.

Understanding why and how an “expertly configured” WordPress blog can instantly deliver a stream of web traffic to your business requires several articles, which is why we recommend that you spend some time reading our content and subscribe to our site (this way, you will be informed when we publish new information on this topic).

Let’s begin by addressing a couple of basic questions:

What makes WordPress so special? Why can’t you just use some other web platform?

Take a look at the diagram below …

Static Website vs Expertly Configured WordPress Site

(Static vs Expertly Configured WordPress Site)

Many websites are traditionally built with applications that create “static” websites. Essentially, what this means is that your web site pages just sit inside the server waiting to be discovered. By itself, a static website doesn’t communicate with anyone else outside the application; it doesn’t broadcast to anybody in cyberspace or notify any other site when new content has recently been published to your site.

Think about it … if with a traditional website, your content simply sits there passively waiting to be found, then you have to continually promote your site and your content to continue bringing in new visitors.

WordPress is different!

WordPress comes with default functionality that gives you the ability to set up, configure and build an automated “web traffic generation” machine, where all you then have to do is post new content and WordPress will do the rest, instantly notifying various online properties about your new content to automatically start driving your business more web site traffic …

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 Two of The WordPress Web Traffic Blueprint overview, we explain the components of your automated web traffic machine:

  • Setup – Learn the best way to get started 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 best results.
  • Automate – Your traffic system requires not only expert configuration of internal WordPress settings but also an integration of your site with 3rd-party tools and other web properties (e.g. webmaster, analytics, and social media accounts).
  • Publicize – Once your WordPress site has been configured and integrated with various external services, all you have to do is publish new content consistently and WordPress will immediately notify and inform search engines, your social media pages and other online properties about the new content, giving your site wider online exposure to new visitors.
  • Optimize – We recommend starting with a content-focused strategy to build organic traffic. With the right systems in place, you can also begin to track and analyze incoming traffic and gather valuable data that will allow you to make intelligent and cost-effective decisions as you expand to additional traffic generation methods.
