Parasite Hosting

What you are essentially talking about is creating offsite gateway pages. Gateway pages are definitely considered spam when done for the sole purpose of link building and ranking. Squidoo is not a bad site and we have many pages (lens) on squidoo and the pages have unique content. It is a good place to market your content and build personal authority.
If your squidoo lens is high authority and have ton of links to it then a link from that particular page to your website will carry some link juice. However, the goal should be to create good quality lens to help users.
It is also important to note that Google latest panda update has impacted the traffic and ranking of content farms and low quality content sites like hub pages, ehow, ezine article. It is quiet possible that squidoo has lost traffic as well because there are tons of lens that are low quality and were build for the sole purpose of link building.

I think the Parasite Hosting is when you put some content on a domain that have great page rank, in this case creating a page on squidoo (wich have PR 7) with some keyword that he wants to rank and then put a link in this page to any website he wants to.
Im kinda curious about if this is still working, those sites were not penalized with the panda update aswell? If not, it would work but I can say that this is something that would be in the blackhat or, at best, grayhat area.

Hi Prunarevic. Can you clarify your question? I'm a bit confused about what you're asking. Typical parasite hosting is accomplished by hacking into a website or finding an openly editable portion of a website and adding content that redirects to your target page. It's not advisable, and if you break laws while hacking into someone's website it could be far more trouble than it'd ever be worth.

Reputable Place For Guest Posts
We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.
