Will parasites be considered SPAM in near future?

[1SEOWarrior]

As parasites are growing like parasites, what's your thoughts on the SEO impact of this black hat technique.?
TIA

Once SGE hits the SERPs, G will drop all parasites, replace their spots with more ad space.

Running on borrowed time.

The formerly ranking small to medium blogs were sucked dry of information and stopped being of use to G's future SGE, so these got disappeared from the SERPs already.

First thing most parasites today are just web properties that have been overhyped to make money selling sponsored posts just like those editorial posts for backlinks.

Yes someday these will get caught & tamed by rge SE's.

Killing the concept of parasites is impossible unless SE's change the way they rank web properties.

There are parasites like youtube, Pinterest, & reddit that haven't died.

Medium was tamed when it got out of hand.

So like always there will be properties that work & die but when they die someone else will take their place.

It's just a way to exploit a loophole that's not been fixed for years.

So, according to your thoughts, there will always be a loophole and I also believe the same. This is like unending battle, cracking some and letting some uncrackable.

I think Yes it may affect the websites considered as spam. But im not sure.

My logic here's simple only those parasites get tamed that ignore spam on their platforms.

Not all authority websites are foolish to let spam take over.

That's why platforms like youtube, reddit still work as great parasites.

With time, they will clean the Indiatimes, etc., but I think the big players like Reddit, LinkedIn, etc., will stay unaffected.

They already has been,
Medium has been hit from Google and they forced it to make most of the posts as no-index,
So it's the case for many less known parasites, old ones get patched or hit by the algo while new ones always coming out

I have a related question to this topic:
Is there any use of the sites that are used as parasite for backlinks?
The reason I ask is that some of these sites offer df links in any language content you want. And if you are like me and operate on a smaller market where powerful backlinks is hard to come by, then a DA80+ contextual df link in the right language sounds extremely appealing. Take tribuneindia as an example.

Pretty cheap to buy
D-follow
Millions of visitors so google likes the site and ranks it
Can use my language content
Has chance of ranking the article decently on google as it is used as a parasite

But, Swedish content on a indian site doesn't seem logical and that does make me concerned about using it.

What are your thoughts on this? Anyone tried it? And what were your results?

Best regards

This tends to be a secondary use for parasites, but certainly there are sites that pay for the link as much as the ticket to the parasite lottery. I know of plenty of gambling sites in non-English markets that seem to thrive off of tiered linking to parasite posts that contain both their affiliate links and links back to their own sites.

Sometimes using tricks in SEO might give a quick boost, but it's risky; you could get in trouble with search engines and harm your website's reputation in the long run

Thanks for your reply.

Interesting!
So building tier 2 with links in my content could be the solution to my concern about having lets say german content, on a site thats indan wich has mostly english content. Especially interesting as thats what I do on web 2.0, profile links etc.

You might get some SEO benefits but that's not a lot to cover your ranking strategies.

I think in the future all forms of spam will be considered spam and cause trouble for users. The big guys will have other ways that are both effective and avoid spam

I dont think SGE will be implemented as the main search experience anytime soon or even ever.

If google gave the answer straight away people would spend a lot less time using their stupid search engine and clicking on their even stupider ads.

Which means:
- less time on site -> less revenue
- high probability of increasing the cpc of their ads -> bad for advertisers
- changing your core business model and main revenue source that has worked and continues to work to this day -> very risky business decision

Not happening!

Weekly many parasites are blacklisted by Google for specific niches. Then people start using them for other niches. So yes google do keep them in notice. Marking them as spam for some niches.

This has been a common matter from Google. But a lot of people already made huge some of money already. Infact some parasites are still workin like charm.
