Nice work! How much time are you putting into it each day (and how much are you accomplishing)? And have you gone back and edited some content that is ranking to see if you can get better conversions?
Hey @andy ... I'd say, on average, each review is taking me between 30-40 minutes to complete. That includes choosing the product, signing up for the affiliate program (if applicable), a quick bit of keyword research, writing the first draft, editing the text, adding the links and scheduling the post.
I have tweaked a few of the reviews but more just to improve the quality and reduce footprints. The only downside with Reddit is you can't edit the headline - which is obviously the best way to increase SERP click through and ultimately, conversions.
I will look at that though as there will be scope within the first few paragraphs to increase engagement, no doubt 🙂
@rohanm Hi there. Could you tell me what tools you use for keyword search? Is it Semrush, Google, or something else?
Hey @nemira ... it's almost no keyword research. More often than not, the primary keyword is '[product name] review' and then it's a bit of Partha potion just using Google suggest to choose something semantically related (and ideally with some KE search volume) as the secondary keyword.
Those I will work into the headline - again, as long as it's semantically related, the headline doesn't need to use the exact match versions of those keywords. Google is pretty good at knowing what the meaning is. I'll also use those keywords in the intro section, usually exact match.
Then GPT is my friend for making the rest of the article semantically related to those initial choices.
Does that make sense?
@rohanm Thanks a lot for the answer. Because of my fear that I will not pick the right keyword(that people are searching for), my blogs will not be noticed. I have plenty of material from my "dead" website, and I can use it for Medium or other places such as Reddit.
@nemira yep ... the big difference with parasite SEO is you're piggybacking off the authority of the host so you can worry much less about competition. Without backlinks you're still going to struggle to rank for high competition keywords but the long tail becomes a valid target again ... unlike our 'dead' websites
Hey @mrdon ... I think it's you who's recently posted the t4ctical walking stick review on the SubReddit - thank you 
I just checked the SERP and there you are, just under the Amazon listing (see screenshot). I'd imagine, with a few upvotes and comments you'd grab the top spot in the Reddit SERP block. There's only a video carousel the PAA and (a huge) sponsored ads top leaderbar above you ... great job!
It's testament to the fact that authority is building on our little project
and I can only see this getting more and more effective, especially as engagement increases!
We now have 65 members and are in the top 64% of SubReddits ... I like that
Hi all 🙂 I just posted an update on the Parasite SEO group that you might be interested in (just in case you miss the notification) ... Cheers 🙂
Hey all,
I'm planning to post a progress update here after a year of posting every day on Reddit!
But before that, I'm wondering if anyone has some advice ... someone is running a copy + paste hit job on my Reddit posts. It looks semi-automated to me.
They are lifting my entire post, removing my affiliate links, adding their own, switching up the title and posting on another sub which has a lot more members (7.4k). Although it seems like a dead sub in as much as no-one seems to be interacting.
Due to their sub seemingly being more popular, their reposts often knock my posts out of the SERPS. As an example, try this Google search.
You should see a sub Reddit called r/Cursed Roblox ... this is the culprit.
I know all is fair in love, war and parasite SEO and I obviously want to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to my posts (since they're AI generated) ... but do you think there's anything I can do to combat this?
I thought about getting a gang of us together and reporting all their posts but even that might be risky because they're signing off their posts using my pseudonym ... this could track back to our sub.
Maybe play them at their own game and get hold of an aged Reddit sub with 10k members to see if I can knock them out of the SERPS!
Lol ... if only I had more time 🙂
Any thoughts are most welcome ...
@rohanm It looks as though the problem may be resolved - that user's account is now suspended! In fact, there are multiple accounts suspended in that sub Reddit.
Oh yeah 🙂 Good spot Diane!
Looks like all the users posting plagiarised reviews have been suspended. Coolio 🙂 Now they just need to delete those posts.
Onwards and upwards ...
