I've built tons of 'free sites' which can't be submitted to Link Lists. None of them follow the 4-page format for one thing, or they don't follow most of the rules of most Link Lists, except by accident and of course the rules about no illegal content. But aside from that, none of them are what I'd submit to a Link List since they don't really list what I think of as the lowercased free sites. What Link Lists mostly list are more like the capitalized, proper name "Free Site", which, as Useless Warrior mentioned, has a much narrower definition.

To promote the (non-standard/custom)* free site mentioned in the original post on a Link List from which you want traffic, what you need to do is build or have someone build some Free Sites which do follow the narrow definition, so you can submit those to the Link Lists. The links on those Free Sites would point to your free site.

* I don't think you need to say custom or non-standard when you're talking about free sites since there is no standard way to build a site that's free. It's only the specialized Free Site which is constrained by various rules and customs which must be obeyed. But here on GG&J, any mention of a free site is usually taken to mean Free Site since that's what's discussed here most often.
