How does this work , I see my competitors posting or advertising on donation and fundraiser websites some on events websites , they advertise products that do not not concern the fund raising or donation and it appears on Google first page , when I google search

It's a form of parasite SEO. As big fundraising platforms like GoFundMe have bloated authority, they can rank quickly for relatively broad terms. You can either engineer the content to look like a real fundraiser while sneaking in some links, or go all out spam with the intent to get indexed asap and maybe catch a few days of traffic before the site admins nuke your page. Rinse and repeat on as many similar platforms as you can.
Ok thanks a lot , but my problem is the procedure , which I have not been able to , especially to go all out spam with the intent of it getting index, I tried manipulating the url , it didn't work . If possible can you help
Like this one below

From the screenshot above, the first url is just a profile that you sign up for via the register link, then fill in your profile info. The second url, look for the 'choose where to give' link, then click 'view' next to an organisation on the page, then look for a 'champion' link - this will let you register and create a profile you can fill out. Third url does not look like a parasite.
Thanks I will give a try and see if it works

Hmmm have heard about this before and this is what happen.
They’re likely using high authority pages like event or fundraiser sites for SEO placements or ads to rank fast on Google. It’s a strategy called parasite SEO. But I later hear that there is a clean and safe way to do it without risking your account.

Those methods don't last the admin deletes those
Even if they don't last , if you can do and it pays off for the short time , no problem , just seen the one with pdf pages on a Government website.

I got content on the first 2 domains you posted, but as mentioned by others they are quickly deleted.
Have a search for 'pdf upload' methods on the forum, this has been discussed many times over the years.

The gov/pdf exploit cycle is a classic black hat technique place a highly optimized PDF or take advantage of an open directory on a high DA gov/edu website, use indexing services to send traffic there, and then leave before the human moderators notice. It is a risky process, but if you need to sell something via CPA or affiliate programs, it is well worth the trouble.

Absolutely! The whole secret is right there in the URL. They're abusing the open directory vulnerability in the WP forms plugin (wpforms/tmp/) on a high DA state website.
And here’s what the operators of this system actually do:
1.Dorking: They employ special dorks for finding vulnerable upload forms or open directories on gov/edu websites.
2.The PDF: They upload an extensively optimized for keywords PDF file that contains either redirects or tracking links straight into the insecure folder.
3.Immediate Indexing: They instantly push the unformatted URL through the private indexers so that Google indexes it before the IT staff notices some file in their temp directory and deletes it.
Total black hat technique—that usually works for only a couple of days before being deleted— but if you’re doing high-margin CPA offers, this organic traffic spike pays off.

The worst thing they do is that they use automation which kills the method even faster,causing a traffic spike which wakes up the admin,also slow down the site was defeat the purpose of parasite seo
I don't have any issues with that , my problem is knowing the process. Knowledge is the best, if I know ,I can do it repeatedly and if only 2 persons see it ,no problem at least I have the knowledge.

The pdf method is simple you monitor the network feature in either Chrome or Firefox then upload the pdf you will then look at the network feature of your browser you will see an json file you click that and you will see an request tab you see the actual path of the file and the name of the pdf file.you copy and paste both to build the url.you need indexer to index the pdf as quickly as possible to exploit it before deletion
