Which way should I go?

You're confused.

Post and Pages are both HTML source code and can literally have the same URLs.

The amount of webpages on a site is also irrelevant.

It doesn't matter and has absolutely nothing to do with SEO or ranking on Google SERPs.

Is your only goal getting a good ranking? What benefit will that have to you? How are you monetizing your site?

Yukon is right. It doesn't matter whether it's a page or a post. Only matters whether it's on-page optimized, Backlinks from authority sites etc.

Pages or posts, it doesn't matter.
Getting ranked in Google is only the first step, then you need to moneytise.

Your content MUST be what people are looking for, do your research first

The number of pages doesn't effects the ranking of your website keywords. It can be effective only if your website has not been built according to the google guidelines or you built the spam backlinks. Previously, Penguin was a sitewide penalty. But the new update is page-specific. It has not been effecting your whole website. So, give the priority to the content of your website according to your ideal customers. You should have to add the blog section and update them regularly. This will make the customer's interest to your website. Updation is required.

I agree, there is no big difference. You should post a good content and promote it through social media networks for example.

Pradeep,

What is your purpose for having a web site? If you don't want to post regularly, what are you going to do to build an audience and create a list of niche subscribers? How are you going to engage your visitors?

If you model the successful and profitable web site owners, every one that I know engages with his/her audience and provides answers to questions, or in some way fulfills their desires.

If all you want is a hands-off no work web site, I think you will be consigning yourself to the dusty and seldom visited corner of the Internet where all the other dead sites call home.

No work, no prospect engagement = no money.

How can a site with 5-6 pages rank better than "a huge blog"?

Or even if it does, it's probably a black-hat site with tons of crap links, which sooner or later will be disregarded by Google and the site will fall onto page 999.

Looking at your signature, I can see you are hosting your website with Weebly? Have you thought about getting your own hosting and install a self-hosted Wordpress blog?

Your site will look much more professional with a proper domain and then you can start building up a nice blog with decent content.

dont create a reason to fail..

you know what you said really isnt true.. since pages and posts are the same

that's just a way for wordpress to differentiate..

provide value and promote content.

and ull be fine

The main thing about ranking is going to be the content that you post. Google wants to see quality content (and prefibly text content) that it can index. Also it wants the content to be natural, and by that I mean content that is not spammed with keywords. If you post consistent, quality text content, you will rank. Keep in mind though, ranking is not something that happens over night, you need to build up to the point where your ranking well.

Unfortunately, you will always have to post updates. Google doesn't like outdated content when ranking websites. It will help if you change the contents on your pages regularly, but why not just post content?

Generally, the best thing is to a pick a theme or niche marketing and start blogging (or posting) about that regularly.

If you are interested in marketing on the Internet, start blogging about marketing on the Internet and the things you learn and achieve along the way.

Doing this, you can get followers of people who want to learn or find out more about whatever topic you are posting about. And of course will help your website get ranked in search engines.

Thanks so much

Think more about your target audience. What info about your niche are they searching for in 2016? Do your 5-6 pages cover that? Your goals should be to make your website useful and an authority site.

You can rank on Google even with a single freaking post.

If you find any site ranking better than a super active blog is for 2 simple reasons:

1) The site has an insane amount of backlinks (inside the large number, most of the backlinks are pure crap, but the few that are important are super powerful).

2) The guy behind the site has a lot of experience, he can rank pretty easily probably for his contacts or even other authority sites from the same person linking to it, creating a high-quality backlink that beats all the shitty competition.

For example, Nail Patel has few websites, all authority sites with very similar content.

Even with all this crap, no matter the keyword, a site with less than 5 posts will never beat an active blog, maybe you rank lower but that's just a matter of time. You have real people from social media giving you shares, building a community, helping people, creating amazing content in a regular basis .... you think you will not beat him as an authority and backlinks with some time?

Don't go for the lazy site, make an amazing blog, super active and be awesome!
