Can I Slow Down My Posting?

Right now my site only has 4 targeted pages (going to add one more), and 7 posts. I know that I have a lot more posts that need to be made for google to trust the site, but if I have about 50 posts can I slow down to 1 post a week? Right now I'm doing one post a day until I have 5 supporting posts per target page. Then I plan on doing some off page SEO (blog posts, making profiles, and submitting articles). Still trying to understand everything, so would this be a good strategy?


I'm asking because I want to try and start on another site while trying to rank my current one. And even after that I may want to try to make another site, and so on.

    50 posts about whiteboards? Really? That is a lot of posts.

    I have sites with one post that "Google trusts". There is no magic number.

    Instead of spending the time to come up with 50 posts to publish, I would probably cut that number down significantly and then spend the extra time creating backlinks.

      Awesome! I actually like backlinking more than I do writing articles. So would the 5 posts/targeted page be fine? And what about maintenance? Like do I need to be constantly be putting new posts into my website (1 post/week) or can I reduce this even more (1 post/month) and focus more on backlinking?

        Constant posting is more for readers than search engines. If you want readers that are going to come back again and again, you need new posts. If you are just trying to make a one-time sale (probably your case because I do not think people are going to keep coming back to read about the fascinating world of white boards), then I would concentrate on the content being good and serving the purpose for the search queries, but I wouldn't worry about updating it all the time unless necessary. A new product is released, you can make a post about it.

        Other than that, backlink away. Get some traffic.

          Is this true? So posting new post does not help SEO but instead is only for the readers? I always thought that new posts would help with SEO. If you are correct then backlinking would be the only real important thing to do if I want to rank high then.
