I am thinking about starting from scratch on a niche website. Most of the basics I am familiar with such as H1 tags, keywords, LSI keywords, and internal/external backlinking for SEO. However, I am still fuzzy about the amount of content I should be adding to the site. On average, about how many unique articles should I have published on my site, such as a WP blog, that the search engines will rank good for?

As rightly said, it depends on the niche market, but if it is a new blog /site, a minimum of 5 posts is advisable but I have seen blogs ranking even with only 2 posts. Contents pays a big role here.

If you want to monetize your site with ad network such as adsense, you need at least 20 original articles. Google does not care about the sites with not enough contents, you should have good number of contents in order to rank on google search. If there are not enough contents, there is no room for on site SEO. Onsite SEO is when you add keywords to the contents. If there are no contents or not enough contents, where are you going to add keywords?

As per most of the advice that I came across in the discussions in this site, when creating content, always take into consideration your audience. If it is a blog, what you should have in mind are your readers and not the SEO capability. That way, you can get the loyalty of your audience since you are posting good contents for them. And the SEO capability will naturally follow because of the good contents that you are posting.
