What About Page Generators?

Page generators came into popularity a few years ago, and for a time were an
extremely effective Black Hat method of getting great natural search engine rankings.Natural might be an overstatement, because there is nothing natural about page generation software.
Page generators flew onto the radar as a result of the huge popularity of Traffic
Equalizer, the grand daddy of page generators. Traffic equalizer would basically look up the results from a search engine for a specific keyword, and then create a page with the search engine results as the content on the page.
Seems logical - - use search engine results and feed them right back to the search engine. You give them back what they just told you were the top 10 results for that keyword. Then, do that for ten or twenty thousand keywords, one page per keyword, and load up your new mega site!
Wow did it ever work. Then it didn’t. And since that time a huge portion of the
internet marketing community (maybe even you), have spent countless hours, and
countless dollars looking for the next great quick-fix tool to replace Traffic Equalizer.
Page generators are the single biggest factor in the dumbing down of internet marketing.
Instead of using a real business model based on a sound foundation, marketers will buy up and spend money on any fad product that promises the quick easy hit of natural traffic, and those demons that mine the miners are happy to regurgitate yet another spin on tricking the search engines.
