Aggressive SEO is a high intensity approach to SEO or search engine optimization which prioritizes fast growth and ranking of websites and website content through large scale content creation and high volume link building.

Aggressive SEO often also involves significant investment in the efforts.

And while aggressive SEO can result in rapid improvements in ranking on search engines, the aggressive SEO approach carries with it some risks.

The tactics through aggressive SEO can also stray into black hat SEO, which is what uses manipulative or even unethetical methods for ranking such as creating of fake content or keyword stuffing.

These tactics can put a website at risk of penalties including manual penalties and even removal from search engines index due to harming user experience.

Doing aggressive SEO involves creating of large volumes of content a day, like multiple blog posts per day or multiple forum posts a day and actively scaling offsite link building.

Aggressive SEO also most often requires substantial financial investment to cover costs of high quality content creation, link acquisition and expert labor although some people do aggressive SEO themselves or even use AI generated content which can also be bad if not done correctly.

The primary motivation for aggressive SEO is for fast growth and ranking and gaining of lots of website visitors, especially to make money quickly such as from ads or affiliate programs.

While aggressive SEO can get you quick results it can also harm the website in the long term.

Doing SEO less aggressively and more slowly is the better approach if you're in it for the long haul.
