        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.

          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.

            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.
