Google Search is so cooked

ranking #2: a Reddit spam post from “helloimlupphie”

filled with links to their own affiliate site…

Here’s the post on Reddit, probably gets 1000’s of views every month 👀

That affiliate site is likely getting less traffic from Google nowadays so they’re posting content to Reddit that links to their site.

 This is known as Parasite SEO 🦠

Assuming their content is actually legit and well-researched – and they can somehow avoid the Reddit mods – I’d say this is fair game.

As Mike puts it…

don’t hate the player hate the game

If you have a content site yourself, you could try this to get more traffic 📈

Or offer to make Reddit posts like that for established content sites, charge them per post.
