Definition: Parasite SEO refers to a type of black hat SEO (search engine optimization) tactic that involves creating content on another website and using it to rank for specific keywords in search results.
Why It Matters: This can be done by creating a page on a high-traffic website and using it to rank for a particular keyword or by using a popular website’s resources to rank for a specific keyword.
How It Works: Performance and implementation are generally evaluated using industry-standard tracking tools and technical audits. This process often closely interacts with concepts like Organic search.
