freesite image question

[oldbrad]

i was wondering if there would be problems getting listed on link sites like mpl, sg's, lor, etc. if i created a site title image for a freesite and wrote the phrase "brought to you by ...." using a hub page name or url.

example - i have a linklist at www.whatever.com and made a freesite that said in small font "brought to you by whatever.com" on the site title image.

I am assuming as long as it isn't used as a part of the design on freesites very often (once every 30 days or so) and the overall site is very clean and worthy of a link, it wouldn't be a big deal.

What are your opinions.
