I've been playing around with a few automated page generator programs to see what they are capable of. These programs allow you to build an entire web site based on keywords. For example, Help Desk, Wifi World and Enterprise Portals were built using Cash Page Builder.
Essentially, the software finds similar keywords and proceeds to build many pages containing news feeds and products related to the keyword. It's not a great way to build a site that is going to rock the world, but it is a legitimate way to put up some content quickly.
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

Hi Joel...
I agree with you wholeheartedly that it's a good legitimate way to make some quick cash with minimal work...
I have several websites, each of 1000+ pages and I run them until Google and Yahoo bottom them. The key is to keep putting up new ones to replace the ones that drop off.
It's a bit controversial and I'm starting to work on setting up a couple of large sites and assembling a "business" with them rather than crossing my fingers and hoping the Google algo. or Adsense TOS won't change and hamstring me.

What are your thoughts on using part original content and part directory generators? I am new to the whole DG scene. I assumed these types of sites would get your adsense account canceled...

As a user, I don't think this is legitimate at all.
I HATE going to google to look for a link, then clicking through and finding page after page after links to other pages, without new content to describe the value of each. they're just the web version of spam.

Aren't these page generators looked down upon by the search engines?

Hey Joel... what website hosting do you use to make your adsense websites? I tried using godaddy but my adsense ads show up as godaddy ads or web hosting ads which is not related to my content. Thanks.

The problem with these page generator programs is that most people use them "out of the box" without changing the templates. Changing the templates and adding some content can make pages that are interesting both to the search engines and your visitors.
I've been playing with Cash Page Builder for a couple of weeks and if you change the templates, add some content, you can use it to put up some content quickly. Here's a couple of experiments:
