How quickly should one add content?

[ZakGottlieb71]

I'm building a content site (the model is AdSense revenue) around a certain niche, and I'm currently paying for about 6 articles to be contributed per week. I have the capacity to be paying for a lot more articles, however, so I'm wondering what, if any, factors exist to recommend building the site up slowly as opposed to throwing on e.g. 100 articles over the next week? Those I can think of are:

1. Going slowly leaves room for better keyword optimization etc.

2. Google seems to favor aged domains/content, so 100 good articles now certainly isn't as advantageous as 100 articles 2 years from now.

All that being said, I still feel like the benefit in terms of traffic of adding more content now - since I can - might outweigh these considerations. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Yo!  When you have content you are sitting on money.... put it to work as soon as you can!

1. Going slowly leaves room for better keyword optimization etc.

huh?  Just do it!

2. Google seems to favor aged domains/content, so 100 good articles now certainly isn't as advantageous as 100 articles 2 years from now.

What?  We are not talking about aging cheese... get it out in public view right away!

Here's the only concern that I have about what you have posted.... it seems like you have a factory that can crank out  100 articles quickly.....    I would rather have one fantastic article than 50 that have been spun or written quickly by people who are not expert expert on the topic.

By keyword optimization I just meant looking at the traffic based on a smaler number of articles and making better future selections based on which keywords were performing the best etc.

This was a nice answer, thanks. I was curious how you saw RSS syndication as helping to ensure articles will be indexed as quickly as possible?

I am a true believer that if you are adding valuable content you should publish as much of it as quickly as you can. Now that being said 100 articles in your back pocket is quite a few. Will publishing it raise any red flags with Google, not likely, will it help your organic traffic, absolutely.

I don't know understand your comment about better keyword optimization. As long as the articles are structured properly from the get-go and you aren't just spinning or duplicating articles the keyword optimization should come quite naturally.

From my experience Google does favor domains that can stand the test of time. However, the freshness update may have something to say about that. Also from personal experience, great links to your content far outweight the content's age.

The two things I would focus on from an SEO perspective are 1. Ensuring your articles are going to be indexed as quickly as possible (ie. Sitemap, Google Webmasters Verifications, RSS Syndication, ect) and 2. Build an outreach program to distribute your content to your eager readers. That way you will generate links, visits, and have your content indexed.
