I’ve been running a couple of pretty basic wordpress installs with a script that reads a data feed from Share A Sale. Basically, the script takes an assortment of products that haven’t been published yet, and then randomly inserts new pages into a wordpress site over the next week. I run about 100 products per week, so with a larger dataset (say, 5000 products), this site will have continually new information each day for a year.
They work ok; more or less pay for the time spent building them. Seems like cheating, though. But an interesting thing (to me anyway) is seeing the long tail searches that hit those sites. People are pretty much searching for the exact thing (example: blue glass napkin ring ) that is in the page.
I can’t really say that I recommend this site technique. These sites are fairly thin as far as content goes, and not very helpful for an end user. But if you’ve got a domain just sitting there, you might give it a try. I can’t suggest putting adwords on them, though — google doesn’t like empty sites like this.
