Is posting 10 blog posts a day Spam?


I have an idea for a blog on technical topics where I set myself a challenge to write 1000 blog posts. But a friend of mine says that publishing such a series of posts can be perceived as a spam site by search engines. Do you think this effort will be perceived as spam? Note: I won't use ChatGPT, I will write everything by hand!

How long will it take you to write a quality well informed technical post?

It’s spam if what you are publishing is spam. It’s simple as that.

Years ago I ran a photo collection that was based on a WordPress blog, I rolled out around 30+ images a day (each as a separate blog entry) on a sustained basis for more than two years and was pretty aggressive about creating incoming links.

In the first few weeks I noticed that Bing had flagged me as a spam site and they seemed to do a manual review, then did a complete reindex, and were sending me a lot more traffic pretty quickly after that.

Spam isn't spam because of the volume, but because of the quality.

Why not just schedule them to post once a day or every few days? 10 a day is also overwhelming for a reader
