Sometimes, no matter how many backlinks to give for your website, you simply cannot get ranked in the search engines. This is where Parasite SEO comes into play, which is a specifically designated strategy for new websites that want to get visibility in search engines.
Parasite SEO boosts your site's visibility by posting blog posts on third-party websites by leveraging their strong ranking signals.
Key Elements Of Parasite SEO
- You use the credibility of well-established websites to build your own domain strength.
- You have to place content on high-ranking domains that allow user-generated content like guest posts, sponsored articles, or self-publishing.
- These self-publishing websites let you place backlinks in your content that direct traffic back to your website, hence automatically boosting your SEO.
What Are The Advantages Of Parasite SEO
- It provides faster ranking results for competitive keywords by taking advantage of already established platforms.
- Parasite SEO allows you to tap into existing authority of websites, and the best part about it is that it is a free-of-cost method.
- It lets you access an already built-in audience that has built-in readership.
- Your credibility, brand authority, and trustworthiness are boosted.
- You can easily integrate Parasite SEO with traditional SEO methodology.
Which Platforms I Use For Doing Parasite SEO
- I turn my blog posts into audio podcasts and then upload them to YouTube with a backlink to my website.
- I usually post blog posts on platforms like hive.blog and put my website backlink at the end.
Things To Be Careful About When Using Parasite SEO
You need to understand that you have to provide not only quality content on other platforms that allow user-generated content with your website backlinks, but you also need to make sure that you follow the policies and rules of that platform because you do not want to risk getting either banned or blacklisted, which will halt the process of you getting exposure on these platforms.
It is also very important to note that you need to avoid penalties and protect your brand's reputation for long-term gains, and the best example of this is a person who is an expert in doing parasite SEO known as "Neil Patel," who uses his YouTube channel to provide backlinks to his website and also leverages review websites like Sitejabber, Trustpilot, and many others to get user testimonials for his keyword research tools services like "UberSuggest."
