This wasn’t a plan. It happened organically.
I didn’t sit down one day and decide I wanted to create a PDF guide. It happened the same way most useful systems do, by accident and mild irritation.
A bit of a theme started developing …
The same questions kept coming up
After the last few posts, my PM’s started to look familiar.
- “How do you structure the pages again?”
- “Where do the supporting pages fit?”
- “How do you link it all together without overdoing it?”
- “What do you actually publish first?”
Perfectly reasonable questions. I’d ask them too.
The problem was that my answers were starting to sound like rambling voice notes.
It’s partly why I always suggest you reply publically to these forum posts. Because you’ll be helping others with the same problem.
But I do understand, of course, that not everyone feels confident in posting questions for the whole world and their dog to see … so all good either way.
Explaining it ad hoc stopped making sense
Parasite SEO looks simple on the surface. That’s part of the appeal.
But once you start doing it properly, there are enough moving parts that explaining it piecemeal gets messy. I’d explain one bit, forget another, then realise I’d assumed too much context.
Not ideal if someone actually wants to test this without stepping on every rake I already stepped on.
At some point it made more sense to write it down once, cleanly.
I wanted something I could hand to my past self
The test I used was simple.
If I’d had this a year ago, would it have saved me time and frustration?
That meant no fluff. No “mindset” sections. No motivational waffle. Just structure, logic, and sequencing.
Something you could read, apply, and then adjust based on what the SERPs tell you.
It’s a system, not a bag of tricks
What I wrote down isn’t a list of hacks.
It’s the structure I actually use. How I think about pillar pages and why supporting pages exist.
How internal linking works on parasite platforms and where restraint matters more than effort.
It’s designed to help you avoid overthinking and under-testing, which is where most people get stuck.
If you already know SEO, it’ll feel familiar. If you don’t, it’ll feel manageable.
AI is baked into the process, not bolted on
One thing I was clear about was not pretending this is 2015.
AI is part of how I work now. It handles first drafts. It speeds up testing. It lowers the cost of being wrong.
The system reflects that. It’s built around publishing, observing, and iterating, not polishing one page for weeks and hoping for the best.
You still need judgement. AI doesn’t replace that. It just removes a lot of friction.
This is for people who want feedback, not fantasies
I didn’t write this for anyone chasing shortcuts or loopholes.
It’s for people who want faster signals, faster learning and cleaner feedback.
If you’re happy building sites for a year before seeing movement, this probably won’t excite you. If you’re short on time and want to know quickly whether something works, it might.
That’s the only promise here.
Where to find it
Rather than drip-feeding explanations across forum posts and replies, I put the whole thing in one place.
If you’ve been following along and want the full structure without guessing what I left out, that’s what it’s for. This guide is all about using a platform called Coda as your parasite host but the theory can be used cross-platform.

Final thought
Parasite SEO isn’t about being clever.
It’s about choosing an environment that lowers the barrier to actually ranking on Google page 1 … and achieving that without parasite SEO has become pretty difficult these days!
Then using tools that reduce effort, and being willing to test without getting emotionally attached to pages.
Once that clicks, the rest kind of falls into place.
As always, happy to answer questions and hear how others are applying this, or where you think it falls down 
Let me know below what you think of the guide and if I missed anything!

I purposely made it quite a high-level overview with enough detail for those who are interested to
