I've got about 40 articles and reviews to submit to my site. They are all well written content, each averagely 1000 words in length. I want to upload 1 article daily for 40 days.
Can this help my ranking?

    Not ranking but your PR value will go up. You need backlinks for ranking to go up.

      You need backlinks for your PR to go up too.

        This is not true. I've experimented with this in a large scale. I built a bunch of micro sites with no external links to the pages. According to the original PR formula, PR value will not go up. This is not true any more. Google seems to award solely based on content quality as well. I had many sites reach PR2 in 1 year without any backlinks.

          Internal backlinks are still backlinks, that's why having a lot of pages will get you some PR, good luck getting over PR 2 or 3 though with just that

            You are correct, but according to the original PR formula, PR has to originate somewhere. I believe the formula has changed and Google will not release this though.

            Yes, in order to pass PR2 and above, you need external link juice.

          Show proof. I have NEVER found a single webpage with PR that did not have backlinks.

      PR won't go up from only posting new pages on the site, the PR has to originate from someplace, it doesn't just happen.

        I've witnessed this myself. I tested it. You are correct based on the original PR formula. This has changed I believe.

    I think you'd be smart to do this but also have more content written as you add that content. In general Google likes fresh.

    I would say for a fresh website it is better to build up slowly... If you already completed the 40 articles post them every 2 or even 3 days. It is much better than posting the 40 then having nothing at all after that. Also it gives more time for the visitors to actually check them out.

    Good luck

    If possible, break those 1,000 word pages into two 500 word pages, then use keyword anchor-text to pass relevancy back & forth between the two pages. That will also double the amount of pages on the site with almost no extra work.

    So you could turn 40 - 1,000 word pages into 80 - 500 word pages. Make sure to keep the page titles unique.

    I'd stretch that a bit and post one every couple days instead of one every day unless you have more of that and can keep the pace. But even then I'd rather spread it out to 2 or more sites.

    yes it can help your rankings. But like everyone else said spread it out to like every 2 days otherwise google will expect that from you for a while for that site. Make sure to have a good internal link structure with all those pages you will be adding.

    I would suggest not to do so. Do it twice or three times in a week. Overly optimized or Aggressive Optimization can also get you penalized.
