Would ~5 pages of what I would consider quality content on my topic, per day, be considered spam by google? It is going to be using a blog program. Also, would it be any better to put each page up spread throughout the day, or just all at once in like 30 minutes time?
I update once every two days. Alternate days where I don't update, I will use guest post article or just leave it postless. However, I will usually write a long and useful post on weekends. Around 1k words and above.
According to me, Always publish quality , fresh and unique content . it does not matter how much rather quality content is important
I wouldn't try to use a software for blogging. You know Google has refined algorithms to detect spinoffs and machine generated content, so that is not a viable solution anymore. Blog by hand and you will surely attract more sympathy from SE and users.
I believe that there's no min. or max. content that should be added per day but make sure that the contents will catch the interest of the audience.
