OK, so far I have:
A website with 773 content pages. Then I have 25 "Site Index" pages that each link to 30 content pages. Then I have one index.html which looks hand-made and points to the site index pages while giving a little intro and having some affiliate vertical banners and a big ugly picture adsense banner at the top (this page is to look like a legit site while linking thru to the site indexes, not to make adsense money from). This page is my primary link from other blogs, etc. The hierarchy should work to pass the most PR to the content pages. Each content page is optimized with:
1 big ugly graphical banner with an Adsense horizontal Links unit RIGHT under it
The title of the "article" in h1 style
Two big rectangles of Adsense text links one on top of the other, as shown in PBM
To the right of each of those rectangles is also 2 vertical affiliate banners, for the affiliate program that covers my subject matter. One goes to a big "all-included" mega site, and the other 3 links are each for individual products, chosen at random by my site generator software
The title of the article in h1 style again, followed by the generated article
6 text links (3 on top of 3) to other sites with high PR in google for the subject matter, chosen at random by my site generator
A block of adsense text at the bottom for final capitalization
Each page also has some code to make it very difficult to use the Back button. It's not entirely prevented, but the user has to do some fast triple clicking to go back a page.
All meaning that if someone lands here, I have an excellent chance of their taking an adsense-link to escape. Everyone wins. The adwords user gets targeted traffic through my targeted-page-adsense ads, I get the adsense commission OR the affiliate commission if they click out through my affiliate banners, and the program to which I am an affiliate gains targeted traffic that easily converts and pays them and me.
One thing about my affiliate program - I picked one that pays 50%, but also credits me for any return purchases by that user. The products are of a nature that would cause tons of repeat business, possibly for years or more, and I stand to gain 50% of every sale ever again generated from any person who goes through my affiliate link ONCE. How cool is THAT?
I've put together one blog that I am working on getting moving. It pulls niche-related articles (which all appear to be very good, to my surprise) and posts them (ok I have to do a tiny bit of work - the articles are mailed to my post email, go into draft mode, and I make the couple of alterations needed to make it right for the blog and hit Publish). Every now and then I slip a post with a link to my index (or even content pages) into this blog. I say "every now and then", but I JUST started this blog, so that's what I WILL be doing, to say it more truthfully.
Each day I pingoat this blog.
I plan to open a few more over the next few weeks. No need to rush my first site, and I'm really more interested in waiting until I can buy a new domain to use. The one I'm using is on a subdomain off a domain I'm using for something else, and IF google should unlist my content site, I don't want to lose the main one!
Finally, I've gone to Google Blog search and posted kudos to as many niche-related blogs as I can find, adding a little link to my index or even my blog as my signature.
Hopefully I'll see the spider hit my pages before long, and from there I can begin to see how my SEO works out.
I'll continue to post as I continue to work on this. I WANT this to progress slowly at first, as my adsense earnings are so meager right now, that if they explode overnight granddaddy google may come knocking down my door.
And I REALLY want to keep my adsense account :)

And more...
Building on what I have so far, I've found a really nice affiliate program based around my target market. I'm going to implement this program into the website generation, perhaps to the right side of the adsense, so that the apparent choice will be click Adsense or click affiliate link. Not bad options for me!

Beginning effort...
Well I can't afford to buy a slew of .info domains yet. GoDaddy seems to be the best place to start - 99 cent info domains (but $8.97 for privacy). Instead I've opted to create about 18 subdomains off two domains I already own. Three on each will be for blogs, the other 6 apiece for sites. I've picked a focus area and created a nice long list of longtail keywords with decent traffic, weeding out any that have no adwords campaigns running for them.
I'm not sure if this initial effort will meet with success or not, what with the two domain thing being a bit of a tip-off. However, it's worth a try, and before anyone could bust me, I should see results first. So I'm using this for a test.
Next step, I'm a programmer. So I wrote a program to write my websites for me. I created a template file in this way:
I wrote an article using a free online analyzer that tells me keyword density in a block of text.
I broke that article apart by paragraph and sentence, and wrote 9 additional variations for each sentence, keeping the keyword density the same for each. I also made sure that the overall field (I don't want to give it away) for my keywords was decently represented throughout.
Then I wrote my program, which pulls in a list of my domains (or subdomains), a list of the keywords, a list of about 160 random free banners I found, a website template and my article template (and an index template) and generates a page for every keyword for every site.
For each site:
Each keyword gets its own page, featuring a big fat ugly banner at the top, the two rectangles standing on top of each other, and then the sentence-by-sentence randomized article at the bottom. I also google'd several terms around my subject matter and pulled as many high PR sitelinks as possible into a text file, and at the bottom of each webpage 6 random links to these sites are generated. Also my statcounter code is added to each page so I can watch hits when they happen, as well as see where they came from (particularly useful to see which search terms are most productive).
Now my article has 16 sentences total, with 10 variations apiece. I believe the factorial on that (10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10) makes it pretty likely the same combo will never ever be used twice. Oh, inside the template article, I have a "keyword" I use that is replaced by the actual keyword at article generation time.
Finally, all these webpages are saved into an arraylist, and at the end a "siteindex" page is formed per 50 pages, and then a "highindex" page is formed per every 50 "siteindex" pages, and finally index.html will link to the "highindex" pages, which attempting to look like an official, normal front page to a website.
These randomization tactics have some issues, but the basic gist is that it looks human-written, although it can still seem fairly nonsensical. The articles seem like they were written by an over-enthusiastic foreigner who hasn't quite mastered the English language. I'm happy with it.
I still need to debug the index page creation tonight, and then generate all the sites, post them, and set circular one-way links going around.
I think I'll have to manually produce the 6 blogs, until I can toss a program together that will basically randomize blogposts from a similar template, and post by email (most blogger posts allow that).
Once I have them all up and going and linked, I will use Digg, Delicious, and Stumbleupon to throw a little extra traffic that way, and then see what happens in terms of SEO.
Until next time!
