Gotchas
The free lane asks for a backlink and gives a nofollow one back: live listings on the free and $2.99 lanes carry rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer", and the followed links are on the $19.99 and up Featured plans.
The link check runs on submit against the page URL you name, so the page has to be live with the link before the form is sent, not after.
The same form serves every plan and the paid ones add a checkout step, so read 'Selected Plan' above the form before pressing Submit.
