That's not to say private whois doesn't have a place, just not on a domain you're planning to submit freesites on.

hope that helps explain it a bit

That sums it up nicely

Solid advice from the Hippy too. With free sites it generally takes a while to get a good flow going. Try not to watch stats too much...especially in the beginning. It's pretty unproductive to over-focus on stats at this point.

The best thing you can do for yourself is tweak your free site building skills to get your sites accepted consistently. You'll probably find that as your site building skills improve, your marketing will improve as well.

And it's a fine idea to post a site or two here...asking for review. You'll get quality honest feedback
