WordPress Traffic Automation Blueprint – Overview

Web Traffic Blueprint Part 1 - A Complete Guide To Generating More Website Traffic For Your Business Automatically With WordPressJust about every business needs a regular stream of traffic to prosper online.

Learning how to drive new visitors to your website is essential to growing a successful business online. Lack of website visitors is also one of the most common complaints made by website owners everywhere.

Why Do So Many Small Businesses Struggle To Drive More Visitors To Their Web Sites?

Search for any of the following information in Google …

  • “increase more traffic to your web site”
  • “attract visitors to my web site”
  • “top 10 ways to drive website visitors”
  • “ways to attract web site visitors using solo ads”
  • “I need more web traffic”

… and you will immediately find tons of pages providing tips, tricks, and information on different ways to drive more visitors to your site …

There are lots of methods to increase web traffic to your website. In this article series you will learn how to set up a system to benefit from many of these traffic generation strategies!

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

Clearly, there is no shortage of ways to drive more traffic to your website. There are tons of tutorials and free information that can teach you cost-effective how to bring more visitors to your site.

The problem is often more about businesses not investing sufficient time into learning how to grow 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 automate and leverage your web traffic generation.

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

This is how most website owners approach traffic generation

(This is how most small businesses approach the challenge of generating web traffic)

Essentially, the typical approach many small businesses take is this: first, you build your website, and then you figure out how to drive traffic to your site.

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

Info

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

Outsourcing is useful if you have systems in place to manage your traffic generation campaigns already. If not, you will probably end up investing a lot of your time and money searching for a profitable traffic method.

Without a solid foundation and proper systems in place, web traffic generation can be very costly!

(Without a solid foundation and proper systems, traffic generation can be a costly activity!)

Driving continuous web traffic sustainably involves laying a solid foundation online, putting systems in place, continually testing campaign elements, experimenting with different strategies, tracking results, comparing ROI across different traffic generation methods, etc.

Is There A Way To Automate The Process Of Driving More Website Visitors?

Imagine if all you had to do to automatically deliver new targeted traffic to your business was to publish valuable content consistently.

This is not fantasy or science fiction … it’s a fact! As a matter of fact, many website owners are already doing what we’ve described above … and so can you!

In our article series, you will discover what you need to do to set up an automated traffic generation machine that will help begin attracting web traffic to your web site, simply by publishing regular content to your website.

How To Set Up A System That Will Automatically Help Increase Traffic To Your Site

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

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

To get sustainable traffic, you first need to put in the right systems

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

At this point, we’re mostly concerned with Step 1. The purpose of this article series is to give you an overview of a traffic generation system that will ultimately:

  • Save time using automation and leverage
  • Save money in lots of 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, LinkedIn, etc.)
  • Gain valuable insights 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 throughout our article series as an “expertly configured” WordPress site

With an expertly configured WordPress site, you simply publish content and your website will do the rest!

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

An Expertly Configured WordPress Site – What Is It?

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

An ”expertly configured” WordPress site is a blog that is not only built on 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 the way it can be integrated with various sites, specifically in areas like search engine optimization, content syndication, and reporting.

Why Use An Expertly Configured WordPress-Driven Website?

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

Understanding how and why an “expertly configured” WordPress blog can create an automated traffic generation system requires a number of articles, which is why we strongly recommend that you spend some time reading our content and subscribe to our site (this way, we can let you know whenever we publish new content about this topic).

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

Why WordPress? Why can’t you use some other platform?

Take a look at the illustration below …

Static Website vs Expertly Configured WordPress Website

(Static Website vs Expertly Configured WordPress Website)

Many web sites are traditionally built on applications that create websites with “static” web pages. Essentially, what this means is that your digital content just sits inside a server waiting to be found. A static website doesn’t communicate with anything else outside its application; it doesn’t broadcast to anybody in cyberspace or notify any other website that new content has recently been added.

Think about it … if in a traditional website, the content simply sits in a server passively waiting to be found, then the site owner has to actively promote their site and its content to keep driving new visitors.

WordPress is different!

WordPress provides a number of features that give users the ability to set up, easily configure and build an automated “traffic generation” machine, where all you then have to do is post new content and WordPress does the rest, immediately notifying various online properties about your site to automatically bring your business more 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 Two of The Website Traffic Blueprint overview, we break down the components of this automated 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 – By default, WordPress already comes with a number of built-in features and settings that can help you generate traffic. Learn what features and settings need to be expertly configured for best results.
  • Automate – Your traffic system requires not only expert configuration of internal WordPress settings but also an expert integration of your WordPress site with 3rd-party tools and other sites (e.g. webmaster, analytics, and social media accounts).
  • Publicize – After configuring your site settings and integrating your website with various external sites, you then begin publishing new content on a consistent basis and WordPress will instantly notify and inform search engines, your social media sites and other online properties about the new content, giving your site wider exposure online to new visitors.
  • Optimize – We recommend starting with a content-focused strategy to build traffic organically. With the right systems in place, you can begin to monitor and analyze the traffic generated as a result and start gathering valuable data that will allow you to make better decisions as you expand to different traffic generation methods.
