For example, my father is a lawyer and his site has been around forever and ranks well (thank god) but its only a few pages deep and the goal is to drive people to contact him. Does Google consider this a "thin affiliate" site? I am myself about to launch a minisite however I have an 800 number to drive traffic to. Based on this though I might add some community functionality like a forum and video feeds to add more content and make it more of a destination. Oh well, I guess this is just another reason to start exploring other marketing methods.

They've used terminology like "low quality topic" or "niches without a solid market reputation" to describe evolutions in Quality Score metrics lately. No doubt this also come from their wanting to lure big advertisers not currently working with them in some of those verticals and jacking the rates on the existing competition to make room for bigger players. When a well-known brand name comes to a "lower quality niche" they bring some legitimacy with them, and likely end up with lower QS. Oftentimes affiliates are just 'in the way' of the bigger opportunity.

It might take more work, to build a destination site, but in the long term it would be really worth it. PPC should really be used as an additional source of traffic, organic is the way to go.
