I suggest you make money the old fashioned way... earn it. Instead of duplicating the same content onto multiple sites, spend the time developing more unique content about your widgets, and you will do much better than trying to take a short-cut.
I've made 3 sites - site1, site2, site3 with same content and different designe.
Well done! You clearly have a great respect for the Internet and those who use it.

We need to know the things that are generally frowned upon by Google and the rest of the webmaster community.
I know it's not much,
but its the best I can do.
My gift is my web spam
and this SEO is for you...
just because we know that this method works but shouldn't be done, this doesn't mean that even Ru_Di did know about.
I find his posting OK, now he knows and even others might take knowledge of it. Things often seem clear to someone of us but obviously are not to others.
BTW Happy new year
I have similar nice SERPs for most of my keywords (red widgets, etc.)
they will report you to Google, and you will be out of the index.
ROTFLMAO
Why do the mods allow this to be posted?
Quite.
Unfortunately this technique DOES work very well – and reporting sites that employ this methodology will do no good!
I reported sites in the past for excessive cross-linking (linking schemes intended to increase ranking) and duplicate content – something that’s discouraged in the guidelines, well they’re still ranking well today!
I’ve seen it on half a dozen related sites - they had placed a crosslink to each of 6 sites on every single page of each of the 6 sites. They appeared over night from no where in #1 position for several related competitive terms. They built up their PR as high as 8 on a several of the sites and then removed all the cross-linking!
Classic bait and switch – and though they have suffered a bit as their PR dropped to sixes and sevens, they still hold the ranking positions!
There is no quick way the best thing for you to do, is take a fresh look at those sites of yours and think about how you can make each one unique and valuable to the user. IF you cant then get rid of them, then focus on just one. For useful advice on effective SEO methods try here:

Everyone else:
Is it not a better idea to spend your time advising Ru_Di on how to make better progress rather than to shun and make negative comments about his/hers posting technique and the way that person goes about their business?
Google creates it's own problems. Many good people trying to operate within Gs guidelines have suffered and are still suffering.
How long before some of these people throw up their hands in frustration and decide to "follow the money".
If the OP enjoys the positions they mentioned, then I'm sure they have a much better chance of doing business than the "white hats" in Google limbo.
It is a hard sell to convince someone to throw down your evil ways (that are making you money) and come join us on higher moral ground.
If Google punishes them, then they will be where I am now, NOWHERE.
IMO, it is less likely nowadays than if you just have one honest, small targeted site. Just look at how the SERPs are dominated by those who keep creating new domains and subdomains, all cross-linked and with the same c*ap on each one. It has always been true, but is much more obvious now that most of the unique, original, well-designed, user-friendly small web sites have disappeared from the SERPs after the Florida update. It's a fact, and, unless Google changes its algo very soon, there will be more and more lousy sites on the web.

Very well said, and, unfortunately, so very true.
This unethical technique is not sophisticated, so it probably won’t work, at least in the medium term. More worrying is the fact that you could write three different writings changing just the way of telling things (style, order of the sentences, other words), but mantaining the keywords. A skilled writer could do that easily. So you wouldn’t have “the same content” anymore. But it would be still tricky. How could Google penalize it?
SERP are surely full or such crap and were always!
its a different issue that on top postions sometimes crap is 70% sometimes 30% and also vary from KW to KW.
Also, if your trick would be a short liven of long driven would depnd upon how soon google catch this?
FORGET competitor complaining it and google taking action!
(irony)
Anyway, still the better idea is to have multiple sites focussing different products ( widgets :-) ), and to cross-link them naturally. {though google dun know the meaning of natural cross linking at all}
While search engine bots may be fooled, real humans can easily tell the contenders from the pretenders.
You are absolutely right!
Now, if we can only figure a way to get the "Contenders" back where real people can actually find them.
