I don’t really have the readership to get a bunch of comments, but I’m curious, what kind of sites do you use to support your main sites?  Where I come from we call these sites “secondary sites.”  I’m a fan of creating blogs and buying old websites.  Do you care about actually adding value or just faking value to get links.

As a good internet citizen I suppose I should care about adding some value, but personally I don’t give a crap as long as my site’s not terribly overt link spam.  That attitude is changing for me though.  As the web continues to grow more and more competitive it’s important that these sites really do add value, not only to be “good” to everybody on the net but to be sure you stay above the radar for spam and can actually get links naturally.

Your thoughts?  Do you even build sites to support your main projects or do you think that’s spammy in and of itself?
