Then move into CPC area and have 5 sites cover top 5 positions there. Well all that advertise make money so could your sites.
Later move into affiliates and offer better returns on advertising your products.
Does anyone know if it was ever done?

Costs will go through the roof -- a customer will click on more than one link, but buy only from one site.
So teh answer is yes it is possible.
Lets say one builds 20 sites selling same products and manages to make them top 20 across all major SE. ( yes it is doable ).

All of those guys making money, right? So why one can not make all of their money and pay all of their advertising costs?
Monopolies occur where there are barriers to entry.
Now if you could lock-up a supplier with some sort of exclusive agreement, that would be a different story.
I don't think it is as easy with SERPS now. I have 3 doma with equal PR ranking and they used to appear side by side on the SERPS for some search terms. Now it seems that Google will only allow result from one site to appear, even though the pages are different. Somehow, I think staff at Google knew about this and made sure that results from one domain to appear.
CPC is very very dangerous. For a start you competitors can involve you in a financial bloodbath if they want.
denial of serviceare you talking about DOS attacks?
You guys a re missing one point. Sites will be completely different - look, feel, everything. As if they have different owners.
derekwong28 - did you host them with the same provider?
In theory it seems reasonable that you could seperate the websites, however, in practice you may find that a bit harder than you'd like.
For example, your product offering will have to be different as well as your creatives. Your competition (as well as google) can smell templated databases a mile away.
However, it's worth a shot if you are already profitable form the monopolizing the SERPS. You may get lucky.
My only suggestion is that if SEPRS don't work out and you think PPC advertising is going to be your savior, you'll probably want to look elsewhere.
I think CPC has a 20-30% chance of working.
Nowadays he has much more competition. He has created a very risky business. He does do a ton of volume but probably makes almost no money. To handle the break-even orders he has built a huge warehouse and support infrastructure. There's a huge downside to his model if something-- almost anything -- goes wrong.
Trying to obtain a monopoly will not work, as their will always be somebody with more money than brains, that will compete with you.
A monopoly will create competition, as people looking for a market to see a product will say, hey their is only one or two players in that field, so this is a good market to get into.
In a free market economy, the market will self correct,
and I mean this for all business factors, not just stocks.
