Anybody more experienced in SEO have a clue as to which approach is better when it comes to launching large content sites?

I'm sure there are valid arguments for both sides.

What's your experience/theory/approach?

Should you launch with 75+ pages of content or start with maybe 10 pages and build slowly?

I'm sure building slowly is better for google. they always like to see new content - not necessarily a lot of content.

Sometimes when I start a sites with multiple pages I will backdate some of the articles, so it doesn't look like I made them all at the same time. I don't know if this tricks google or just visitors though.

Yea but if you launch a site with a lot of pages isn't that considered "new" content?

I heard about this theory in the xfactor guide or how was it called, to start a new site with at least 20 articles and so on but I disagree.

I think adding like 3 articles first day and you publish them at different hours and then keep adding day by day one article and then 1 article at 2 days and so on, google will like it better as it sees that you keep adding content often so it provides more value to your website.

No it doesn't matter at all. As long as your content is good.
Big e-commerce sites don't dripfeed. They put all of their content up at once.
The most pages that I launched a site with all at once was around 9000 pages.

And you say that's for e-commerce sites. They are selling products.

Would you say the same for a site completely content driven?
