Yep, just use your initiative! You want to try and spread your posts out and make it look natural though.
Agreed. You can of course 'artificially' spread your posts out by changing the "posting date".
In other words, if you've already got 6 posts which you want to publish immediately on a brand new blog, you could back-date them over the previous week to give the illusion that you've been up and running for a while. I think it would look less suspicious to a visitor.
Having said that, I started setting up a new blog last night and have decided to hide the posting dates/times altogether. Two reasons: first, I thought it looked less cluttered (cleaner and more 'professional'); and secondly, if in the future you decide to stop posting for a while (say, after 30 days), then it will be less 'obvious' to fresh visitors that the site hasn't been updated for a period.
Obviously, the ideal thing would be to continue posting fresh posts ad infinitum, but I'm projecting way into the future here. What if, after a year, you've moved onto other projects, but there is still some money to be gleaned from this? By not having obvious post dates, everything will still look 'fresh' at first glance. Just an idea...
I'll probably leave the dates intact on another site, so I can compare the results.
