I'm sort of mixing the niche site with some blogging stuff as well. Might throw in a few one page affiliate things for seasonal stuff that will make me some extra money. I love blogging, and even though it doesn't bring in big bucks, with some affiliate links and ads thrown in, it's a small stream that will keep me above water during the lean times. It's a good source of linkbacks to your main site.
I saw someone today, a "one page wonder" complaining that Google had killed a large source of his income by knocking his affiliate page down. He couldn't even find the title in the search results. I'm not sorry for him. One page campaigns can't be counted on as a steady stream of income, and anyone who does is just foolish. I'm personally glad that Google is blasting those sorts of pages in favor of those of us who do the work to have a real "site" with continuing updating and valuable, timeless information.
I can see making a few bucks here and there with some one page sites to promote something hot, and maybe make some bucks from it, but to complain when the gravy train ends is immature to me, and I can't feel sorry for them.
