You're on the right track but not quite there yet. That site wouldn't get listed because you've got too many links out per page...but your work wasn't wasted
What you really have there is the beginnings of a nice hub. Build your free sites in sub folders and submit those, use one of your three links out to link back to your root, and list all the free sites you build on the root. You can have as many sponsor links on your hub as you want, and what you already have should work well as a hub. It's also a good place to do niche link trades and such.
If you look around this section for other threads similar to this one started by other people, you'll find tons of useful info on how to build good free sites that will get listed
