How long does it take to generate 1M pages?
Well, depends how you do it.
You could pay peanuts to a bunch of monkeys with typewriters, or you could crank up the black box, set to automatic, and leave it running overnight. Either way, you're sure to end up with an ad-ridden crapfest - something that the search engines could take out any time they feel like it, or relegate beneath a fold of PPC ads.
I guess it's only a risky business move if you spend a lot of money buying said million pages. No guarantees in the optimization business.
In an entirely unrelated note, here's an interesting quote about neo-nineteenth century journalism: "New York Times....the companys recent $410 million acquisition of About.com probably made irresistible ad sales sense, but I find it staggering proof on the downside of the twentieth centurys end that the New York fucking Times is attaching its imprimatur to a third-rate online almanac written by a herd of 500 amateurs"
Well, nothing against amateurs myself. I'm sure many do a very good job being guides.
From a business perspective, my question would be this: how much of the revenue-generating traffic comes from pages that appear in search results listings?
