I have a parasite ranking on page 1, I've been shooting various links at it, but is seems to only bounce between position 6 - 9.

What else could I do to bring it to top 3?


Thanks
 
If your parasite page is stuck between positions 6 and 9,try improving the content with more relevant keywords and updated information.Building a few strong back links and adding internal links from the same problem may also help.optimizing the title and description to increase CTR can sometimes push the page into top 3.

I don't have control of the site once it went live. So upgrading content and internal links in not an option

Why did you loose control? Have you been hacked?

It's prob a parasite on an external website. In this case, only off-page factors will work, together with some CTR manipulation (even if it's hard to find good tools lately), viralization (working quite well but expensive), etc.

Yeah Ive used some CTR manipulation, but nothing that takes me to the top 3. I agree the good CTR tools are kept secret and are expensive.
 
since you cant touch the page, ctr is one of the few levers left, and 6-9 is honestly the best spot for it, youre already getting impressions so the clicks can actually register.

what usually fails is the tools, bot clicks on datacenter or cheap proxies, same pattern every session, no dwell. google mostly ignores that. what worked better for me was real people searching the keyword, scrolling, clicking your result and staying on it a bit, slow ramp over a couple weeks.

ive used the ctr service by jake lam for that, actual humans not a bot. id pick 1-2 main keywords first and see if it climbs before doing more. a few fresh links to the parasite url on top doesnt hurt either.

I might stop assuming it needs more link volume. Check search intent, content depth, contextual relevance, the authority of the pages above it, and whether the parasite page itself has enough unique value
Sometimes improving the page is more effective than continually adding links.
 
If it’s stuck around #6–9, I’d stop piling on links and focus on improving relevance/quality signal

Tighten the onpage content, add supporting internal links, and build a few highly relevant, contextual links rather than more volume.

Also check the top 3 for content gaps and intent match you may need to make the page more useful, not just more authoritative.
