Question about free sites

Hi guys, n00b here. Been lurking for a while and you guys give great advice.

As far as links on a free site, is it a no no to put a link on it directed toward your main website. I have gone down the Greenguy list in my niche checking out the various free sites, and have not seen any that do this. Or, is a free site just a 'stand alone' page that is intended at promoting one sponsor, not promoting a 'main site'? I imagine some surfers get curious and strip away part of the url to check out the root (like I did).

I was just looking at one of Lazzlo's posts, so I'll use that as an example.
browselingerie.com is the root, it's in 'coming soon' status, but if it were his up and running 'flagship' domain, could he put a link on the free site direct to that domain for promotion?

Sorry if I'm overlooking the obvious, or if this has been covered and I missed it, I searched but saw nothing directed at this question.

Thanks!

Most LLs allow us freesite builders 3 outbound links per page. What I normally do is use one of those links on an interior page to link back to my hub. I have done it as a graphic, but have lately gone to a text link. Example - Pussy Shavin' has 2 sponsor links plus recips and the COPA stuff on the index page. If you enter the site, I have 2 sponsor links plus my hub link back. As long as you do not exceed the recommended outbound links AND it is not a blind link, you are usually okay.

You can point all your outbound links to your main site as long as you're using your own content and not some sponsor's content. Most people just point their links to sponsor sites because they suck at building a decent site to promote theirselves

Thank you. Also, it seems like some sites have the galleries actually built and hosted on the page builders server, whereas some link directly to the sponsors provided free site. Any protocol on this, or is it just up to the webmaster if he wants to host the content on his own server account or use a direct sponsor link? I can see where hosting the content yourself can be nice to keep your free site theme consistent.

Just about all link lists require you to have all your pages hosted on your domain. Linking to sponsor galleries will get you clobbered.

You might be seeing sponsor hosted freesites on linklists, but that's because the LL owners listed freesites with their own ref codes. It's not submitted sites.

I would love to have the time, equipment, and place to do my own shoots, believe me. However, until I become the richest porn queen in Texas I can't do that. Talk to me in a few years though.

Seriously though... aren't these freesites supposed to be examples or showcases of what the visitor can find on the paysite? If I use my paid-for content to promote their paysite, what if the surfer wants more from the same series? What if there is a discrepancy in the quality of the content?

I usually put a link back to the root of my site on the main page of some of my freesites but you could probably put it anywhere as most LL's don't mind as long as you don't have to many outgoing links on a page.

Even though their is some good bought content around I think it's probably better for promotion to use content that the surfer will actually see when he signs up for the site.
