Ive had that page up for at least 3 years that I can remember Actually need to update it as a bunch of those sites have taken down their stuff and replaced it with advertising

As far as free sites - there should not be any ad clutter on the sites that get accepted by Linklists - most have a rule about how many ads/links per page and are limited to 3 normally - and they are extremely targetted traffic sources.
A normal comparison for you would be that a gallery would expect to convert about 1:1200 to 1:5000 dependant on the type of TGP its listed on (thats clicks sent to the sponsor) while a free site on a link list that has good sources of SE traffic should convert in the 1:50 to 1:800 range (normally)
Would seem to me in my experience that the cost benefit analysis norms would show free sites as a much superior option - I know the sponsors that have really delved into the hosted free site game have increased revenues substantially
