INSIGHT

Treat Page One As Real Estate

Page one of Google functions like real estate you should try to own as much of as possible.
Parasite SEO uses high-authority platforms to claim multiple SERP positions quickly.

ADVICE

Leverage High‑Authority Social Pages

Use high-authority social and news domains (YouTube, Reddit, news sites) to leverage their DA for quick ranking.
Favor platforms that act like social UGC since Google is surfacing more of those on page one.

ANECDOTE

Jesper’s Parasite SEO Playbook (Step-by-Step)

Pick a target query (branded, local, or long-tail).
Publish across high-DA surfaces:
- YouTube (video + Community post), X/Twitter (Articles), Instagram, Facebook Page, plus AI page builders (e.g., Quen, Perplexity).
Front-load keywords in social posts (especially the first words of FB/IG captions for cleaner URLs/titles).
Daisy-chain internal links: point your X Article to the IG/FB/YouTube/AI pages to aid indexing.
Kick indexing via reputable ping/index services, then add lightweight social links to nudge crawl.
Measure and iterate: keep winners, replace laggards, expand with adjacent long tails.

Exact-Match Domain (EMD) Mini-Framework

When to use: service+city rank-and-rent, or narrowly defined SaaS use-cases.
Build: one-page lander, fast crawl path, 5–10 quality links/month early, layer socials & citations; avoid unnatural velocity spikes.
Why it works: high topical alignment + clean intent matching.
(Jesper’s background in cloud stacking/YACSS and SchemaWriter.ai complements this with structured data & internal “powerstack” patterns.)
