...is to make a site that have couple of days of downtime (on an unreliable free host). especially if we are talking about blogs. 
i'm sure you get my point.

Some freehosts aren't that bad, never underestimate freehosts with huge link popularity and thousands of indexed subdomains. It's an easy way to get on the first page of search results even for competitive terms if you know how to take advantage of the "free SEO" you get when using them.
Use them for some "extra income" only and never rely on them to pay your bills.

i don't think it's very productive to have 3 days of total downtime.

Having downtimes only puts you in a temporary sandbox. Normally it only takes about a week for the sandbox to lift. To speed the process up you can go buy a few really cheap keywords.

If you can't afford to host it you really should be looking at what you are doing or considering another profession.
Did I say profession.

Investing time optimizing or creating a site for SE traffic on a free host makes no sense. You want your SE efforts to be long term. Do it on pages you actually own, there is no security on freehosts to protect what you build.Comment

heh alot of people are misguided.
I have dozens of paid servers, and yes i have FREEhost too. Theres a time and a place for freehosts.
Ill give you a good example. lets just asume person A and person B both have paid servers and basically the same sites with the same rank and same backlinks. Person A gets a freehost and adds a backlink, voila person A now ranks higher..
Dont underestimate a free host..
2 other things i should mention..someone mentioned that when your site is down google will just put you in a temp sandbox until your site is back up This is partly true, it all boils down to when and what it was doing when your site went down. I have had sites go both ways . vanish because of downtime or just vaish for a few days..hatisblack at yahoo.comComment

Downtime?Not so sure will those effect SEO rank since ranks update every 4 months now.Comment

you are totally right!
i was trying to point out that it's pretty iresponsible to left your sites down for couple of days. i don't remember having a downtime with really good freehosts like blogger. correct me if i'm wrong!
maybe i should build a freehost myself?
btw, i don't wanna answer comments about having a paid hosting. ofcourse it is a must-have in this biz!

I'm not really sure how Yahoo handles downtime.. I just know that if you appear down to Google, they may sandbox you for a period of time.
Using freehosts to for backlink building is one thing, using a freehost to build a source of se listed traffic may not be very smart. And depending on the free host it could simply lose its trust rankings due to abuse. ~TheDoc - ICQ7765825
