Generating Affiliate Revenue via Reddit Parasite SEO

Mike Futia tweets…

Google Search is so cooked
keyword: best air purifiers for home
ranking #2: a Reddit spam post from “helloimlupphie”
written by ChatGPT
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.
