when/where you want your (clients) content to take most/all of the (top) spots,
leaving little/no room for competitors.
Secondary purpose is for Link Acquisition/Page Rank.

This can be overlapped with Guest Posting,

Technically - that is NOT Parasite/Barnacle SEO.
I'm not actually aware of any name for it,
so I called it "Steading SEO"
(as in, small farms - which is what these things are more akin to).
Sadly, as with Guest Posting,
due to a % of asshats, we see a valid approach get hit
