Interesting story on this eternal question facing webmasters 
Thank goodness there's a workaround for the white hat "slow start"--build a ton of sites using unique/useful content. Here's a story of the quick money route:

An SEO acquaintance recommended a plugin that posted fresh content on your blog every day, written by hundreds of contributors and then ?scrambled? by an automated program that made each article ?completely unique.? It seemed too good to be true, but I moved the Contest Blogger Forum to an internal page and started auto-posting pre-written articles on the homepage to test it out.
During the first month of my new approach, I was happy to see that the unique post plugin actually increased my traffic and profits as new articles got indexed. In response, I increased the number of article topics that would post on Contest Blogger every day. Many of the new articles had absolutely nothing to do with contests or sweepstakes, but I didn?t see past the higher revenue.
And then the floor fell out from under me. I woke up one morning to check the Contest Blogger stats, and discovered that I had been hit with every webmaster?s worst nightmare: the site had been completely de-indexed by Google.
