I have tried setting up my own network of blogs, and it can help but it is a lot of work. for one thing, you will need to promote all of those blogs as well as the main site that you are building. Honestly, I donnt buy domains for this. I use some of the free blogs like wordpress.com, multiply, and blogger. these sites will have higher chances of getting you some traffic than starting out a bunch of fresh blogs on unkown domains.
that being said, several of my static sites have a blog set up in a subfolder or subdomain and I funnel traffic through the blog to my sites.
Building a blog takes a lot of work, and to really make it work, it is harder than running affilate sites. however, if you happen to build some authority, your blog does have a chance to go viral. you can actually get it to a point where you don't do much of anything to promote it because your readers do a lot of it for you. But, in order to have that kind of blog, you have to do it consistently, you have to provide a lot of value to people, and it takes time.
