This is a "halfway there" solution that a lot of reputable SEO's utilize. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any time taken to build up the sites, and having only one page doesn't help either.

Google ranks keyword oriented domains very well if they are built correctly. If there is mid-to-low competition for a keyword phrase it's very easy to build up a little site and then send yourself inbound links. The key here is quality, if the one page site doesn't actually discuss the keyword phrase and semantically related topics you'll just look like spam. You won't be punished for this unless you're doing hundreds of sites like this, but you'll also be wasting your time.

The other thing you're missing is that the inbound link needs to point into the main site, i.e., "For more information on keyword phrase click here. By anchoring "Click Here" you're not actually getting a keyword related link, just a general link.

Remember, quality rules. Even if you see decent results from this type of SEO work, it won't last. Worse still, people might click the link and see that it's a bunch of garbage, then avoid your site in the future.
