If you are getting started on a shoe-string budget and need to build links to your site for SEO purposes parasite hosting is one good way to go.

In this article we’ll cover just what parasite hosting is and how to take advantage of it for your SEO efforts.I want you to be confident that you can learn seo.
Parasite hosting is the fancy name coined for web sites that allow you to build blogs, web pages or even web sites for free. There are literally dozens of these sites out there and some of them have extremely high page rank, as high as 8 or 9. Now that doesn’t mean the blog or page you put up will have that page rank but it will still look good to Google and the rest of the search engines. They consider this as “being in a good neighborhood”.
Some of the more popular and well known of these are Blooger (owned by Google), WordPress (a PR 9) and Squidoo. Some of the others you may or may not have heard of include Wetpaint, Bravenet and Livejournal. All of these web sites will let you build free blogs or sites that you can then use to give your main web site one way back-links. To find a list of good parasite hosts just search for top free blogs or top free websites.
By putting a free blog on one of these parasite hosts you can get great SEO benefit. what you need to do is post content that is related to your market and place one or two anchor text links to your web site within that content. Remember though that to get the most bang for your buck (even though it’s free) you need to use content relevant to your niche.
If you’re reading this and have no clue what an anchor text link is don’t freek out. You will have a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor to create your free blog with. With this creating anchor text links is a breeze. Pick the text you want for your anchor link and highlight it. Next click on the chain icon on the menu bar. A window will open and you put in the URL you want to link to, simple!
You can really ramp this up and give your web site even more SEO impact by building several of these free blogs into a link wheel. What’s a link wheel you ask? It simply means linking several sites together in a chain, the last site linking to the first. This really increases the link juice you are passing on to your main site. But why stop here? Build a second link wheel that has links going to the first one. Your imagination and creativity are your only limitations.
The next thing you will want to do to really turn up the link juice is to use social bookmarking on all the free sites you create. By doing this the links going from these free sites to your main web site will give even more SEO benefit.
You now have the knowledge needed to take advantage of parasite hosting and the SEO benefit it offers. It’s up to you to take that knowledge and use it now. It’s free, it’s easy and it can really boost your listings in the SERPs. So what are you waiting for? The links are there, go get them!
