Yeah, and I ended up placing number 1 on a free server for a very popular term. I actually paid to have the ads removed, because I think it looks better that way - and I am pretty sure it has worked out so far. I only need to make an extra $5 a month to make it worthwhile.
It was off of freeservers.com (and no it isn't for an adult site) and they declined my credit card saying the address didn't match - I know it does, and I know I used it exactly.
I was actually suprised when I called up that the guy on the phone knew what I was talking about right away (he didn't give me the call your bank or make sure you type it in right excuse) and he was able to go through in his end and push it through.
Google doesn't seem to have a problem with them, but it did take a month longer to get listed. I know, because put the links to that site in the same (and only place) as three other sites - and they got listed at the next index, while it took an extra month for that one. I heard someone else with the same problem (same server) on one of the SEO boards.
Google doesn't use strict linkpop, they use PageRank, but it can help for other reasons - so it is worth a try for non adult sites.
I like freeservers et. al., cause you have the myname.theirname.com. Google seems to treat these seperately.
I scored #7 (although it has been going in and out) for another popular keyword using 20m.com.
