Gotchas

The link a listing gets is nofollow, and it does not even point at your site: the button targets their own /go/ path, which answers 308 to the destination.
That redirect lands on an affiliate URL where the tool runs a programme, so the click is monetised on the way through and the destination is not the plain homepage.
