minimum website pages for Google?

[cashboy]

Hi,
I am a newbie in this area. I have decided to develop a few of my domains with ppc links. I will find content at Wikipedia, etc...and will add some other relevant content. Import some stock quotes, weather, currency conversions, etc. My programmer will put the site together and will use it as a "template". Hosting is only about 50 or less per year, and my programmer will not charge much after the initial website template is done. I am hoping that my ppc will increase considerable over these costs. Also, Having a website will also increase the value.
So, My question to everyone here is this? How many pages do the Search Engines like to rank my domains? Yes, there will be some ppc links, but mostly content, and graphics. Will a home page plus 4 more pages do it.? for a total of five?

?, u can rank 1 page with a single word on it. That does not mean you will compete for certain keywords for it. Google will 'index' anything that is not out right spam and so on, it will rank somehting if it's relevant and not dupe content

Taking crap from wiki and adding it on your site is not a smart move though. my 2cents.

I was planning on using wiki for content. Any other ideas? I much appreciate your input. My plan is to do a travel webpage. Home with wiki content, for example,
Spain.com...Not my domain, but an example...Content and ppc links...page two
weather...with a weather feed, page 3, Travel tips, ...page 4, restaurants and food, with links to reviews....Does Google recognize wiki copy and paste?

Yes of course it us. That's called duplicate content, and of all the sites you go for the most commonly ripped source. Go read the dnf blog about content and how to get unique content and the likes, it's in my signature.
