Firstly most of a webmasters free sites (of the same niche) are on the same domain name (or a small number of domain names). But if you are implying that all 100 freesites are on seperate domains then both you as a webmaster and the surfer would want all your sites in the Search Results (unless the pictures and content were pretty much the same, which, if your a good webmaster they shouldn't be).

You have to remember that a spider doesn't look at pictures to see if they are different. It looks at the text, and just how different is your text going to be from site to site?

I do not claim to be a freesite expert, but I do look at dozens of AVS sites daily, and I can only say that my experience is that I can tell by looking at a site which one of my affiliates it belongs to if they are one of those that submits multiple sites every day.

The pictures may change, but the sales pitch is pretty much the same . . . even if it is a different niche.
