"If you can't beat, 'em, join 'em" is a recipe for wasting a year on MFA sites, getting dropped from the index, when you could have been working on a long-term, legit earner, which you could point to with pride.

When I auto-generated pages etc., I found it as much work as coming up with 'legit' material.

It's easier to pay several people $10 each for 500 on-topic words. You get unique content, which won't break the bank, while you sit on your bottom.

You need to think: What am I interested in, that many other people really want, that I can make a fat _net_ profit on?

Come up with a hit gizmo or service, or copy someone else, with a new, improved wrinkle.

PS: I'm still thinking about what I could produce that would be a big hit. It's a lot more fun, and research is free.

****ing about with spamming software is ennervating, and the guys who got in early, and cleaned up, are probably moving on now, leaving you to get smacked by the next update.

I propose TigerTom's Law Of Webmaster Hype: If some geezer with a one-page site full of marketing-speak is selling The Next Big Thing for $97, back away fast.
