Let me explain...
If each person is running 5 blogs, that could turn into quite a bit of work. I know that I don't have the time to manage 5 blogs on top of my job.. I could write some mean spintax, though and I would bet on 5 well spun blogs to outrank one well written blog that may make a little more sense to the reader. That would be one of the key benefits of this group would be the group learning experience. I will admit that this SEO thing is all pretty new to me, but with 10+ years of web design it's coming very naturally to me. I think if more people around here looked at SEO with the same eyes they looked at web design, we could all be at the very least above average.. Which who knows, opens up job opportunities, new clients and services. If one person is really good at spintax, shoot some tips to the people who aren't. If you're good at strategic linking, shoot some tips to the people that aren't.
That's how this community already functions as far as web design, why not throw SEO into that mix as well?
For the spintax, it's like I explain to my boss, we're not worried about what these blogs actually say. Who cares? We want their link juice.. We want to get them a respectable PR and just dump that PR into the users' websites and other blogs in the network. Google can't read, so if the grammar is a bit off, big deal.. This is how Google reads:
"Aadf asdaga asdfa wgwr WEB DESIGNER asdf PHOENIX dafaa iuig werwn nionvs."
Google is like one big CTRL+F button searching a giant network for your term. Whoever licks their boots the most gets the top spot, so we create a boot licking machine. They may not be the best ranking blogs on the internet, but they will be respectable for their niche, which is all that matters. We're not ranking them for "Tom's Auto Blog" we need modifiers to find low-competition niches like "Tom's import auto repair guide blog." Things that we could just conquer the top spots for.
The only people who would read these blogs are, A) people who are searching within that niche. Who cares? They will just say, "well, this is stupid.. Why have a blog on the first page that doesn't help me?"
B) Your competition who is checking out your backlinks. In which case, let them look and say "holy fuck, Batman. Are there any other keywords we could go after?"
No, Robin. Our blogs eat them all. Go refill my drink.
I see it happening a lot, our main competitors do just this.. They are linked to about 5-10 blogrolls and footers that are all obviously spintax blogs with a PR of about 4. Since they started doing that, they've become #3 in our top keyword, behind only the 2 biggest puppy listing websites on the internet. One way to mimic this, which we have done to catch up short-term, is to purchase these blogroll/footer links... Which I will tell you are 90% of the time on some weird spintax 4+PR blog and will cost you about $10-100 depending on the PR, Alexa, etc and whether you want blogroll or footer. I will also tell you that these work like magic.
