That's a good question and a very vivid analogy

I'm not sure if there is a definitive answer for that, not that I'm aware of anyway. I would think that if you approach the initial page(s) with care and not try to blantantly spam the SE, you should be ok. Keep the initial pages somewhat relevant to your final idea. If at all possible, build your site up slowly and keep adding to it. From what I understand, search engines like when there is constant change to a website as long as it's within the same niche. Don't start off with a 'Dietary Informational Guide for Cats' website and end up with a 'Classic Lake Michigan Houseboats' Blog.
