It's been 2 years or so since this thread was active, but I came across something recently that someone over at MOZ was illustrating
http://moz.com/blog/topical-hubs-whiteboard-friday
Look somewhat familiar to the discussion we were having two years ago?
I knew I was onto something back then, just had to figure it out..test. test and keep testing.
The good news is, I ran with it and built a bunch of micro-niche-authority sites out. My MNA's were built around my concept of focus firing in on Google's ontologies within any one field of knowledge. I'd have one central site, and then i would have 2-3 feeder sites in that niche as well to play off each other. My money authority site was the one that established itself amongst a field of nobodies, and my secondary sites provided catch relief if the first site missed anything.
Curious if other blackhatters went this route as well?
btw- this link is good for some solid, solid reading -heavy reading, but still contextually good for how they're trying to improve upon Google's usage of Freebase.

Read section 2.4 in specifics to "slot selection". Love it. Opens the door for all of us to more clearly define everything about a niche and then to go out and own it. May take several web properties to do so, but the door is wide open.
