OpenAI Pulls ChatGPT Chats from Google - The End of a Wild SEO Trick

E759: OpenAI just killed one of the wildest SEO tricks we’ve seen this year - and it happened fast.

For a brief moment, marketers discovered a loophole: by using ChatGPT’s shared conversation feature, they could rank high-authority pages on Google for competitive keywords - all with minimal effort.

This “Parasite SEO” method blew up, going viral across TikTok, YouTube, and the SEO community. But now? It’s gone.

In this episode, I break down everything you need to know:
How the ChatGPT shared chat indexing feature worked (and why it was so powerful for SEO)
The privacy concerns that caused OpenAI to quietly remove this option
Why this was such a big deal for parasite SEO and backlink strategies
What this means for marketers who relied on shared platforms for quick rankings
Alternative platforms and methods still being used for similar SEO hacks
