What you actually get
A permanent row in a large Chinese-language AI navigation site, and their own copy promises a dofollow link. Outbound links on their pages carry rel="dofollow", a non-standard token that crawlers follow, so the link is real. The audience is Chinese-speaking, which matters more here than the domain rating.
How to submit to AiHeron
1
Open /promote and switch to the free tab
The page opens on the paid panel showing $6.99. The free lane is the second tab, marked in Chinese as free submission, and it is a different form rather than a discount.
2
Take their anchor snippet
The free form hands you a plain text link, an anchor to their homepage with the anchor text AiHeron and a Chinese title attribute. There is no image badge.
3
Put the link on a page and note that page's URL
Their field asks for the address of the page where you added the link, not your homepage by default, so any page will do as long as you give the right URL.
4
Fill contact and product URL
Two short fields, an email and the address of the product you are submitting.
5
Submit and expect a same-day appearance
Their own copy promises the listing shows in the new arrivals within 24 hours with no queue, against an hour for the paid lane.

Gotchas
The page opens on the paid panel, so the first thing you see is a $6.99 price. The free lane is a separate tab with a different form, and missing it is how this reads as paid-only.
The free lane is a reciprocal link and the paid tier exists to remove it: their own paid benefits list a permanent link with no backlink required.
The whole site and both forms are in Chinese, with no language switch on the submit page. The audience is Chinese-speaking, which is the real question here rather than the domain rating.
They ask for the page URL carrying your link, not just a promise, so the link has to be live before you submit rather than after.
