What if AI could make your SEO strategies smarter and your affiliate marketing campaigns more profitable? From automating time-consuming tasks to providing sharper insights for better decision-making, AI is transforming the digital marketing space.
And guess what? We unpacked all of this in our power-packed webinar hosted by our CEO, Parul Mehta Bhargava, with none other than industry icon, Jitendra Vaswani.
If you’re still doing SEO and affiliate marketing like it’s 2020, you’re already behind. AI isn’t quietly infiltrating our campaigns; it’s calling the shots. And if you’re not keeping up, you’re leaving traffic, conversions, and commissions on the table.
This was not your typical surface-level session. From the evolution of Google’s ever-changing algorithms to revenue-driving hacks like parasite SEO and multilingual site strategies. We have covered it all. So, if you have missed it, don’t worry. We have got you covered.
Ready to rethink your strategy and get ahead in 2025? Let’s dive in.
Remember the good old days when we’d jump onto Google, enter a question, and scroll through a list of ten blue links? Those were simpler times. Now, AI has changed things so that search engines don’t simply provide results, they provide answers.
AI is now baked into the way Google presents information. It’s altering the very nature of how people search, what they encounter, and what they believe. And that is an enormous change for both SEO and affiliate marketers. Your content is no longer competing with other blogs; it’s competing with AI-created answers, snippets, Reddit threads, and sites like LinkedIn Pulse.
And that means, to your SEO effort, being informational is just a start. Being trustworthy and valuable as well isn’t enough. What you have to be, above anything, is brand-oriented.
Early in the session, Jitendra highlighted a significant change that all digital marketers must watch out for. By 2025, Google is not only ranking websites, it’s ranking actual businesses. If you’re in healthcare, tech, fashion, or finance, your site must look, feel, and function like a legitimate, established brand. It’s no longer about keywords; it’s about brand signals, trust, and authority. If your site doesn’t give off those vibes, you’re going to struggle to stay visible in search results.
This is where brand signals fit in. If your website fails the test of brand credibility, social presence, consistency, and authority, ranking will be difficult.
Here is how you can build the brand signals:
When you find that brand signals are solid, you can begin to leverage affiliate boosters, those small add-ons that fuel your campaigns and drive more conversions.
Jitendra pointed out that Google’s constant updates, coupled with the deluge of AI content, have resulted in a visible decline in traffic for most sites. It’s something that most marketers are experiencing at the moment. But here’s the catch, even amidst this saturation, there are still intelligent ways to get noticed, particularly for those super-competitive keywords that appear impossible to rank for.
Parasite SEO!
This tactic is about publishing content on high-authority websites such as Forbes, Medium, Times of India, Hindustan Times, or even LinkedIn Pulse. These websites possess the domain authority to rank quickly, sometimes in hours, and when you piggyback on their strength, you can send serious traffic to your offers or affiliate products.
Jitendra Vaswani even mentioned bringing in $450 in only two weeks with parasite SEO strategies. That is not pocket money, and that shows this is a viable tactic when executed.
Reddit is also an incredibly powerful medium, but a little tricky to use. Old, mature accounts are needed, and AI-driven content must sound human-written; Reddit users will smell spam out from a mile away.
AI tools are now a part of the marketer’s toolkit. Whether it’s content creation, research, data analysis, or automation of your campaigns, AI can reduce your workload by up to 40 hours a week. That’s a whole workweek!
But, and this is key, AI is not a replacement for human creativity or strategic thinking. It’s a tool. If you use it too much and don’t inject your own voice, insight, and optimisation, your content will fail.
Here is how you can make AI work for you:
That’s where platforms such as vCommission are needed. You’re testing out AI tools or holding on to classic strategies. vCommission gives you an advantage with world-class support, robust tools, and access to high-performing campaigns, so you can scale, not struggle.
One of the major SEO red flags Jitendra mentioned in the webinar is mixing multiple niches on one website. You’re creating a fitness blog, so stay on topic. Considering venturing into tech? That deserves a website all its own. Google appreciates simplicity, and so will your readers.
Google is penalising thin, unrelated content. Those with a strong niche and relevant authority will always outrank a jack-of-all-trades blog.
And once your niche is established, it’s time to scale wisely.
Another golden nugget from the webinar was the force of language diversification. Localising your site with plugins like Gtranslate.io can usher in new traffic streams from countries that don’t speak English. Google favours content that is localised to be valuable in different languages.
And don’t forget to diversify your traffic sources. 2025 is not the year to rely on Google Search alone. Check out:
When you combine all these efforts with a platform such as vCommission, you get exposure to multiple traffic channels, international affiliate opportunities, and expert advice to drive scalable profit.
If you’re not on LinkedIn Pulse, you’re missing out. It’s one of the most underrated content marketing platforms right now.
Let’s get to know how you can win:
If executed properly, LinkedIn Pulse can drive traffic to your website, assist with branding, and even get your content ranked in hours.
That’s just where a site like vCommission is useful. They’ve already established the infrastructure and trust, so if you’re doing campaigns through them, you’re working with an audience that’s been optimized for compliance and performance to current SEO standards.
As Jitendra and Parul wrapped up the webinar, the message was clear: the future of affiliate marketing and SEO is bright with opportunity, but only for those who are willing to evolve, adapt, and ride the wave of change. AI is not the enemy; stagancy is. The sooner you get your strategies in line with where the digital world is going, the quicker you will see results.
AI is not going away. It’s doing us a favour by saving time, enabling personalisation of content, and even creating new income streams. But to succeed at all, your site must resemble a business, behave like a brand, and provide content with real value.
Don’t forget: the winners in 2025 will be those who marry human creativity with AI efficiency, employ tactics such as Parasite SEO, and diversify their traffic streams.
And if you want to speed up your journey, vCommission is your best bet. With their huge affiliate network, international offers, campaign boosters, and expert assistance, they’ll guide you through the AI-driven marketing landscape with ease.

Q1. Does Reddit support AI content?
Ans- Reddit can work with AI-created content, but it’s tricky. As highlighted in the webinar, it needs a strategy to post content on Reddit, especially through old accounts that already have credibility. New accounts with AI content forcefully promoted might be flagged or simply disregarded by the community. The key is to make your content feel authentic, valuable, and human, AI-assisted or not. When done right, Reddit can be a powerful part of your Parasite SEO strategy.
Q2. How can you make LinkedIn Pulse articles stand out and drive real engagement?
Ans- To make your LinkedIn Pulse articles stand out, it’s all about optimization and relevance. Use aged LinkedIn accounts (with 100+ connections and a few existing posts) for credibility. Focus on audience-specific topics, and include clear headings (H1), emojis, visuals, videos, and updated data to boost readability and engagement.
Q3. What are brand signals, and why do they matter for SEO?
Ans- Brand signals are trust indicators such as social media pages, branding consistency, quality backlinks, and user interaction. In 2025, Google is giving top priority to actual businesses and less to thin and generic websites. Without brand signals, ranking will be challenging.
Q4. What’s Parasite SEO, and is it still effective?
Ans- Parasite SEO involves publishing content on high-authority platforms (like Forbes, Medium, or LinkedIn Pulse) to rank for competitive keywords. Yes, it’s still effective, especially for quick wins and driving affiliate revenue fast.
