I just want to comment on what has been said about doorway pages. Doorway pages are definitely not dead. And there is nothing wrong with them so long as they contain content - and text counts as content. As long as you write coherent paragraphs with about 200 words of text, it is not spam. As for submitting multiple doorway pages, this is fine so long as you use each one to target a different keyword. If you're using multiple doorway pages for the same keyword, try to keep each page at least 5kb in size apart from each other doorway page with the same keyword. SEs love doorway pages that are informative as an SE is not a directory. Just think, if you were searching for a specific book, would you rather have Amazon.com be displayed as the first result or a single page describing and reviewing the book with a link at the bottom pointing to Amazon.com where you can buy the book and also find books of a similar nature.
Mini sites are great too but the only real advantage they have over doorway pages is the fact that you can also submit them to DMOZ as many SEs will give a site a higher ranking if it is linked by Dmoz - also, a DMOZ site is guaranteed a spot in Aol, Netscape, and others.
Many SEs will also cut submissions off at a certain point if you submit too many pages from a given IP. However, you really don't have to worry about this until you get up into the hundreds. By the time you get there, you should have a pretty good idea of what you're doing and should be seeing pretty good returns. At that point, you can go out and start grabbing domains and set up a hosting account that gives unique IPs for each domain without worrying about the security of this investment.
