<b>Is there a magic number of posts before traffic kicks in?</b>

Q: I've seen "you need 30 posts" and "you need 100." Which is true?

A: Short answer: neither — there's no post count that flips a switch. Longer answer: traffic comes from covering a topic completely enough that you out-help competitors, plus enough site age and trust for Google to rank you. A 25-post site that owns one tight niche can outperform a 200-post site that's all over the place. The number you actually need is "enough to fully cover one cluster," which might be 8 posts or 40 depending on the topic. So stop counting posts and start asking: for the queries I'm targeting, does my site look like the most thorough answer in the niche? That's the real threshold.
