In this episode, Jacky Chou, SEO entrepreneur and founder of Indexsy, shares insights on various digital marketing strategies. Jacky particularly focuses on the power of Reddit for content distribution and link building. He discusses how companies can leverage Reddit to gain visibility, attract journalist attention, and generate backlinks. 

He also touches on the concept of "parasite SEO," where marketers piggyback on high-authority websites to rank for competitive keywords. Our conversation then delves into the changing landscape of SEO, with Jacky highlighting the decline of traditional niche affiliate sites and the rise of e-commerce and SaaS companies in search rankings.
