The sad thing Em, is many link lists will not list a site with your watermarked content, not from us submitters that is for most either make there own freesites with tht content, use FHS with that content, or even a combo of both.
Other link lists MAY list sites using your free content, but not if they have seen that set(girl, guy, setting) recently.
With a single girl/guy site it is almost an absolute to use their content...as with many of the Theme sites such as Captain Stabbin.
At least with some of the specialty niche sites you can find purchased content that goes with the theme of the niche site, and thus stand a hugely greater chance of getting listed.
And as far as getting special content from the site owner that is not usually available to affiliates, that elps...but the major players in the link list business usually have access to that same content and so the above still affects using that content.
The last year of more and more sponsor FHS has really increased the difficulty of an average free site builder getting a site listed with any sponsor content. Now with Chop and Greenguys new project it even makes it worse.
