How many articles and/or posts should a site have ready to go on launch day?
I was thinking about this the other day and my reasoning is that if you launch with too much content, you might have trouble producing more once the site is up. Why is that a problem? Because search engines like a site that is constantly being updated, but if you give all your content in one go, it will look like you hardly ever update your site. So your rankings could suffer.
On the other hand if you launch with just a tiny bit of content, you might not create a good first impression, resulting in one-time visitors until you can get more content up. On the plus side it is easier to add more content and may be better in the eyes of search engines.
