Niche site: How many content?

I'm building few niche sites. How many articles should I put on it? What's the minimum.


Thanks

 

There really isn't a minumum. Its dependant on the amount of questions / information / resources related to the niche itself. And that would be dependant on how broad the targeted niche is.

Also, I think that continually adding content is important. Just throwing a bunch of articles, information, and stuff isn't going to do it. It needs to be continuously updated. This way the content stays fresh, and interesting, both in the minds of visitors and search engines.

 

I've seen numbers around 40. I look at it this way, Have 10 when you start the site and then add some every few days. Building content is good from a Google Sandbox point of view. Also, new visitors will see you have a growing site and will return.

You want enough articles so your site seems like it knows what it's talking about. Just rememebr to build that content.

 

I would build as many pages as distinct key phrases you are targeting.

 

This will require a lot of time. But I guess content will get traffic.

 

Most of my niche sites have between 20-40 pages.

I do have smaller one under 10 pages though

 

20-40 pages are ok. however, you should update the page content frequently.

you can use www.articlesitedeveloper.com to do this.

 

I dont updat the page content to frequently but i do try to ad more articles when i can.

Is updating the actual pages already created as important too

 

You should constantly add more articles, but after adding 10, you could take a break and gradually add some more articles. If you have a big niche(sort of an oxymoron), you may want to have more articles.

 

Wouldn't that only help to get search engine traffic? What about repeat visitors and natural links?

 

I have seen "one pagers" do fine.. I have also seen sites that get an article every day do well. I think the key is to have UNIQUE content, and update it regularly. Then build links and you will see your profits go up.

 

I'm going to build web sites about cancers. Is it a good niche?

 

Add a blog in addition to the main content.
The simplest and most bot pulling way is adding a blog with auto pings. If you are not sure what to add pull in daily rss from populor feeds and blog them.

 

Is it a problem if I create static html pages?
