Danny Sullivan, the Google Search Liaison, stated this on Mastodon. He stated when requested concerning the time period Parasite web optimization, “That is not the time period we would use internally, by the best way. I used to be referencing how some folks externally speak about it.”
Onreact on Masotodon informed Sullivan that “parasite web optimization is when a web site will get hacked for web optimization functions. Even that may be a misnomer as you both repair or break issues. You possibly can’t optimize one thing whereas harming at on the similar time. What Danny means right here is piggyback web optimization. The location in query doesn’t get harmed.” That’s the place Danny Sullivan replied, “That is not the time period we would use internally, by the best way. I used to be referencing how some folks externally speak about it.”
