When you hear the word parasite, you might remember a section in an encyclopedia you had in childhood: pictures of remora, rafflesia, and cordyceps come to life in your head, making you want to refresh your knowledge.

Parasite SEO does not resemble a gigantic and extremely repugnant rafflesia, though the pattern this type of SEO uses indeed borrows the hallmarks that biological parasites are known for. What are the features? James Oliver is here to explain.

In this episode, James covers the nature of parasite SEO; speaks about the challenges and perks, and shares his views on Google’s role in its evolution. He also breaks down how authority is borrowed, why this approach continues to work despite constant algorithm updates, and how to use it effectively.

You might not be an aspiring SEO specialist, but any affiliate is curious when it comes to SEO, so you may be — just may be — inquisitive enough to learn how modern search works behind the scenes. Press play and discover the strategies Google doesn’t want you to know.
