In today?s post, you will learn how to extend your audience reach beyond Tumblr?s backyard. We will show you how Reddit can be used to drive significative heaps of traffic and revenue to your blog pages.

Reddit is a gigantic social newsboard that has been around for many years now. Also, as ?the front page of the Internet?, the site basically aggregates content submitted by its users who are also in charge of reviewing and ranking the content?s popularity by voting it up or down.

One of the first things you need to know is that like Tumblr, Reddit is first and foremost ? you know where I?m going with this now, eh? ? Yes, a social thing! It is a community that can be used to help you reach your goals but you?ll have to take a step back from obvious marketing intentions.

After all, if you want different results you have to first change your strategy. Again, as with Tumblr, you will withdraw a lot more benefits in the long term if you blend in and use toned-down monetizing techniques.

The goal with Reddit is to come up with a catchy, high-potential post that will rapidly gain in popularity and exposure, and this will bring you tons of free traffic along the way.

It?s all about virality here.

Let?s begin by taking a closer look at whom we?re looking to talk to....

Tip #1 ? Find the Right Audience for your Content

Reddit is divided into sub spaces or rooms ? known as subreddits ? to better categorize its huge content base. It?s important to find the sub spaces where you will be submitting your posts. You need to get looking for rooms that will match your content, and more specifically ?NSFW? ones since you will most likely be posting some sensitive material.

Try to think of subreddits using a ?niche? perspective. Don?t put all of your eggs into one basket or sub space because users in different subreddits can react in very different ways about the same post. That?s why you should try posting in various spaces, looking for the best positive responses. Once found, these will be your new traffic pools, just waiting to cascade visitors to your blogs.

:thumbsup extremely

Nick and the Whale Pack i like it :-)

Good tutorial and thanks.

Although I have found that many moderators of niches will ban you fast if they even smell an ad regardless of how good or how well your content is enjoyed by the readers.

That's because their(our) sub-reddits can/will get removed by actual Reddit staff.

Tumblr is usually left alone/wholly ignored, though. Same for imgur.

Get creative. :winkwink:

Tip 2:

Stop reading advice on gfy and start doing.

Porn is not allowed on Reddit. But your post will stay for a while and will bring you some traffic with bounce rate 85%. I create new account for every post, some traffic clicks on Plugrush banners.

Simply not true.. :1orglaugh

Stopped reading at 'significative'

anyone have a list of 10 very successful reddit posts that went viral

Just wasted last hour reading those.. :)

This is just my opinion, but if i were to write tutorials, my first goal would be to get people to engage and then second, to act on the information. I would frame it and communicate it in a way that's important and meaningful to the reader. Ex: "How I got to 5 sales a day with Reddit in 2 weeks - a step by step guide" (specific ($/timeline/steps, benefit is stated, its important to the audience etc) vs "get more traffic from reddit" (no real benefit implied or stated, no goal, no objective, no step by step plan indicated in the title, no stated purpose, no endgame other than "traffic" etc.)

I could not spend 5 minutes on that site.. its a one big pile of text, chaotic mess.

I tried a few minutes and couldn't take it ...

It was my experience. You can share your story.

I'm a mod on basically every nsfw/porn sub-reddit. :winkwink:

Edit: Big ones anyway. Few smaller ones, too.

You comments are welcome.

we are just setting the base of a long series.

with the comments of the community it will only get better and more effective.

Thanks for your opinion, you make lots of sense.

I haven't read the tutorial, so apologies if this is covered..

If you submit crap content covered in ads, you will be flagged as a spammer and your posts removed.

If you submit quality content with less ads, you won't.

If you submit quality content with almost no ads, you won't.

For images, most prefer direct to the actual picture.

Thanks for your input.

I feel you will now get lots of new friends request !

ICQ is going crazy. :1orglaugh

:helpme

Surprised ? :pimp

I agree with the first point.

I disagree with the 2nd and 3rd in that I have found very few who will not flag/ban or simply delete your post.

I agree with the last point which is why it's hard not to have your post flagged or deleted as direct link to image doesn't allow you to take advantage of the traffic.

Good post !

I'd say that the hardest part of posting on Reddit is finding groups that will actually allow your post, most of the big ones seem to be picture only and only mod submits.

As far as 2nd and 3rd, it depends. Something very clean(think imgur clean) would be fine..


There are plenty of ways to take advantage of the traffic directly to img.. :winkwink:

The bigger ones are moving more towards approved submit accounts only. :thumbsup

Also - make your own sub-reddit and post quality content to your own niche/sub-reddit.

MAKE SURE you post to different domains or even competitors. That varied content sources etc gives the impression that you're there for the users; not yourself... that'll make the sub-reddit grow, which is obviously good for the long term.

Or abuse it and get 20 visits/day for a couple weeks until you're banned by actual reddit staff.

How exactly? I'm curious.

I kind of dominate reddit but have luck everyone.

Hello people!

Here's a little something Vince sent me to show you with an example took from a recently "Reddited" post of one of our newer blogs. It follows exactly what's explained in the latest tutorial.

Please excuse us for the eye candy factor, the objective is to show you that this method works and to further demonstrate how QUALITY content will drive QUALIFIED traffic to your blog.

Take a look at the bounce rate and the average time spent on the page. :thumbsup:

We'll keep you posted with further results from this post, just to show you this isn't some temporary spike. ;)

How to see if your account marked as "no post"? I mean when I posted my first porn blog, mod said me to stop fucking around and my account will be banned. But I can see my single post had 4000 hits from Reddit. Account not banned, but I am not sure if my other posts are visible, I don't see any more traffic from Reddit.

If I mark my post (porn) as NSFW will it be banned anyway?

Reddit is down. poop!

You have to be a redditor to successfully post to reddit, they are very picky about content. If your site comes of as too spammy you are banned fast.

• Give them good content, and you will get loads of upvotes, but even post with no upvotes gets 1-2k visitors on popular subreddits.
  
• Catchy title
  
• If it is a single picture, use direct link, makes your domain seem better, the hivemind remembers such things.
  
• Show less ads to traffic that is coming from reddit.

I had to stop posting since they ate all my bandwidth for that moth, I briefly set up a site last year after learning some web development in Python.

something like this?

To anyone promoting solo girl projects, I suggest you make an account that's purely for the girl and post a few images on the subreddit for a number of weeks. Give it a while, then start to slip in pieces of paper with "Hi reddit, Cindy Jones loves /r/Gonewild! Check out my site at www.xx.com"

It's pretty natural and a lot of girls do it. My Cherry Crush has her own subreddit with a lot of subscribers and a bet my bollocks to a barn dance she makes bank on natural joins through reddit.

Reddit is like good, genuine SEO. It's not about bullshit or fluff or what to and not to do, it's as simple as providing a good fucking product that people want and will pay for. Spam is a no no, but good quality amateur solo girl action? That's what GoneWild is all about.

Reading........

Not so sure about that.

Made couple subreddits. Will take me couple years to get decent amount of subscribers.

Thank you :thumbsup

That's the problem, I want to promote niche content in a subreddit I know will be enjoyed, but it practically forces me to wipe the watermark off the image and put my blog site watermark on so I can get some typein traffic. I don't want to do this of course, as this violates the TOS of almost every program I promote, but what other alternative is there?

What's been posted has been posted on there a million times already, and the mods are zero tolerance for affiliate sites, so I can't link to blog posts, they get downvoted every single time.

I have mixed feelings about Crakrevenue but I just want to say that I appreciate the effort which has been shown here and in general in putting out these tutorials for affiliates. I've picked up a couple little tidbits here and there from them.

their banning accounts

If you want feedback, actually publishing some stats (like a white paper) would make the series much more compelling.

Thanks you, you always been a man that stand for your opinion, and as i said few time before, we listen and take notes and try to improve our business model.

We will keep trying new things, we'll make good and bad moves.. But one sure thing is that i will make sure to continue moving forward and share what we learn with everybody that is open and positive.

And yes Damian, its in the plan to publish case studies, but again we need to find the right tone and balanced quantity of infos.
Feel free to share your experience and results, we want this educationnal serie to become a community collaboration.

Some good info, thx

That is the biggest issue with reddit. Even if you link to a page with 99% content and have a small ad at the bottom of the page they flip out and reach for the ban hammer as if they are the moral guardians of the net.
