Answer Question
How effective is 'parasite SEO' for ecommerce?
I came across this article on 'parasite SEO' and wonder how effective it is, given that there are often moderators policing these sites or regular users flagging spammy content. The article describes the tactic as follows:
The basic approach is:
You find a high Domain Authority site that allows user generated content to be added and indexed. (the host)
2. You upload your content containing affiliate links/coupons codes/phone number that you are trying to rank. (the parasite)
3. By leveraging the authority and trust of the host domain, this allows you to have a shot a ranking for more competitive terms in a much shorter time frame than if you were to start a site from scratch.
