If you plan on starting a new site, it really is important to have gradual progress regarding content and links versus just trying to get everything at once. If you try to set up everything immediately, it might trigger some red flags and put your site into the Google Sandbox, which is never a good thing.

If you don't know what the Google Sandbox is, it is pretty much a probationary period where your site will not show up for any search engine result for anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple of months.
