I understand the motivation of wanting to have your own traffic and not be dependent on other people's traffic, which carries so many conditions and risks. But, realistically speaking, getting your own stream of search engine traffic takes a lot of time, skill, and work, so I suggest that you be willing to combine linklist and dmoz sites with your search engine sites. Yes, there are more strings attached to such things, but they also have a role to play in anybody's search engine network.
Search engine site building doesn't have any fixed form, but personally, i do recommend the use of age warnings on certain critical pages. I use them. There's a good chance your target surfer won't see your age warning, and will click straight to content pages, but you want your search engine pages to be up for many years, and an age warning here and there is the least you can do as a good faith attempt to protect yourself against future political changes.
Having said that, it's true most successful search engine pages you find in the serps don't even make an attempt at age warning.
There's no particular need to build search engine pages as if they were freesites, beyond that.
The key thing for success with search engine money is keyword awareness and research. the holy grail of SE is having knowledge of a group of keywords that you can make money with that others are overlooking. But, this isn't so easy to get.
As for domains, well, there are lots of strategies. I believe in having lots of domains, the older the better. This topic gets quite complicated.
It's not that easy anymore - there's a lot of competition, good keywords are harder and harder to rank for, and you need knowledge, skills, and the ability to write quickly.
But, it's very nice to have control over your own stream of traffic.
