multiple sites in one niche question

A few weeks ago I read a free report called SEO Bazooka, which I actually found very interesting and promising. Have been too busy with school to put anything to work lately, but definitely want to try what it says, which is basically this:

Why limit yourself to one site in a niche? What if you made several blogs, several small 5-page sites, etc, all pointing to your main site. All of which would have articles pointing to them, social bookmarking, etc.

It is suggested that you run different sites and such from different hosting, to avoid search engines catching on to your strategy.

My question is, is that necesary? Would search engines care if you had multiple of these sites? Doing it from multiple webhosts and registering domains with different registrars significantly would increase the costs associated with this strategy. Anyone know anything about this?

    In my case, I have multiple sites in the same niche on the same host, and it appears that it makes no difference. For me, these are sites that are well developed, and I have had them for years.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    I don't find it necessary to build multiple sites and/or to worry about what hosting account it's built on. I would just spend my time building sites on Hubpages, Squidoo, etc that point to your site as well as other backlinking methods.

    this is one of those topics that the gurus will beat each other over all day and night. bottom line is if you can afford to do it as such then go ahead and from my experiences it's a "bit" faster and seems to have more staying power. however i'm not sold on this tactic being so much better or that you should incur all of that cost to do it. just build your main site and maybe 1 more on your primary host then build the others on x10hosting, weebly, and blogger. these all have free hosting options and are well known by the GOOG. so if you are really tight on money just build your 1 hosted site and use the free hosts (maybe upgrade after you're making money) and oh yea...they said to stya away from .info's but i'm seeing my .info domains rank pretty good.
