04. A Good Theme!
All the work in the word press site depends on theme. While some themes are responsive to all devices and are better in seo. Some of them are not quite good but are used so be sure to check out if the theme don't make you behind in search and also that your theme is responsive to all devices because there are many sizes of screen now available in smartphones and tablets and you wouldn't want people to see your site and pictures in half.
05. Domain Name:-
People say that your domain name doesn't matter but it matters in every site because first impression is the last impression! For example if you are running a site about finance or family and you have a domain name like findyourpet.com then people will have hard time understanding the site's content as well the service engines. You should buy a domain name that is related to your content not the one you like or love.
06. Unique Content:-
Your WordPress site is searched for unique content and if your site is copy paste site that you are hosting then search engines will find it hard to find these kind of multiple content or your site might get marked as spam! Better is to check that if your site is unique and the content on it is self generated not copy and paste material.
Hopefully you will get a better and optimized traffic with the steps that i had shared but if you are facing problems then you can contact me and i will help you out via comments.
