Hi all.

I've finally managed to squeeze time out of my business to run some SEO case studies. I've been reading up a lot on ranking parasites in 2018 and I wanna try out what I've read.

In this case study, I'll be ranking some low competition kws for a local search term, which is able to nett me $100 per sale. Each month I'm getting 2-3 sale from these keywords by ranking #1 for the keywords, but I wana push my competition into the lower part of page 1 and hopefully page 2. I'm not negative SEOing them to get them there. I'm just ranking parasites to take over their positions.

Is it worth it to rank for such low competition keywords that have such low volume?

I can't tell for sure now if it is worth it, but if I am able to close 1 more sale per month, that's $100 per month additional profit!

This are the current rankings of my Parasites -

Parasite #1(newly created today, not indexed on Google)

For this case study, I will want to use BHW services as I dont have access to link building tools. I aim to keep the costs low since my money has other commitments.

To start off my link building process, I've bought a $9 package on BST that contains 500 t1 contextual and 5k t2s. I'll update this thread in the weeks to come. Meanwhile, I also want to keep track of the costs involved and the link buidling strategy in ranking these 4 parasites. I also want to check the effectiveness of an aged property vs a newly created property and its "rankability", although I understand there is no basis for comparisons as all 4 properties are across different domains.

Total costs thus far -
$9 for 500 t1 contextuals and 5k t2
 
following please keep updating as much as possible also what kind of link you are building
 
Check out Kevin's blog post too for parasites or t2+ they are cheap and abundant with pretty good metrics.
 
Following. Really enjoying the increase in parasite post this year.
 
another parasite case study. bookmarked! all the best.
 
Good luck! Which service did you use for this?
 
Looks interesting. What’s the search volume and how much (or little) did it take to rank your main site #1 (just out of interest)?

Main site cost me $500-700 to clinch the top spot from several PBN provider here. But that was when the site was still new and I might not have not gotten out of sandbox. I think its nice to put this info in the first thread.
 
Bought 10k social signals from @Quidtask for $2.55 and spread across parasite #1, #3, #4.

Total costs thus far $11.55
$9 for 500 t1 contextuals and 5k t2 from here by @invest207

Are those english parasites?
If not, do you send foreign anchors or english ones?
 
I think the idea behind ranking parasites is about the same irregardless of language since it's Google we are gaming. I think if it is not English, competition might be lower - I could be wrong.

I was reffering to what anchors you use if it's foreign language, english ones or foreign ones.
But you do English.
Thanks anyways, following.
 
Nice, following. About to start something similar. Please update us.
