I'm building my own SEO tool called Maverank. Not tomorrow. Not someday. Now. And I have good reasons for that..

Bottom line: Think of parasite SEO like borrowing someone else’s car. It’ll get you from A to B quickly. But if you want freedom to drive anywhere, you’ll need your own.

The smarter move? Use parasite SEO to capture speed. But reinvest the wins into assets you own: - Your site - Your brand’s authority - Evergreen content you control

So, is it worth it? 👉 As a campaign play (product launch, time-sensitive promo): yes. 👉 As your main SEO strategy: risky. You’re building on sand.

And Google’s paying attention. They’ve already signaled they’ll demote parasite-style pages that don’t fit the intent of the host site. So what feels like a shortcut can disappear just as quickly.

The downside: → You don’t own the traffic → Pages can be deindexed without warning → Platforms change policies overnight → Clients may think rankings = stability (they don’t) In short, your rankings live on borrowed ground.

The upside: → Rankings in days, not months → No backlink grind → Lower upfront investment → Great for quick campaigns or short-term visibility Sounds like a growth hack, right?

But wait, what is parasite SEO? It’s when you publish content on a powerful domain (think Forbes, Medium, LinkedIn, Reddit) to “borrow” their authority. Instead of grinding to build your own site’s credibility, you piggyback off theirs.

Parasite SEO is one of the fastest ways to rank. But speed can be deceptive. The question isn’t does it work? It’s: what does it cost you in the long run? 🧵

Most people think they need “scale.” No. You need 10 people who’d cry if your tool disappeared tomorrow.

Growth hack: Use your competitors’ bad reviews as your product roadmap. Ever done this before?

And I would love to hear your take: does volume still guide your keyword choices?

Now I still check volume… but I care more about: – Does this keyword fit what we sell? – What’s the intent behind it? – Can we actually win it soon? – Will it matter in an AI-driven SERP? These days, I see volume as context. Helpful, but not the headline. Funny enough, it’s

That’s when it clicked: Volume didn’t equal value. At least, not for the business.

90 searches. 40 searches. Even 10. They ranked quickly. Brought in the right people. And turned into paying customers.

I’d filter out anything under 500 searches. It felt like “small” keywords weren’t worth the effort. But looking back… some of the best pages I’ve ever published started with “tiny” keywords.

I used to judge keywords by one thing: volume. The bigger the number, the more I wanted it.

Unpopular opinion: Scaling is overrated at the start. Get 10 people to love your product first. Everything else comes from there. Agree or disagree?
