To be honest, I didn't think that Reddit could be this powerful especially when it comes to getting traffic. For 3 years, I've been a Reddit member and it was only a few days ago that I became active. Why? It all started when I shared a link on Reddit and I was so surprised that in just one night, I got more than 1K views! I mean, I've been using a lot of social bookmarking sites to promote my articles but I've never gotten such great amount of traffic in just one night. Apparently, that was enough to convince me that there's a strategy to using Reddit to drive traffic to articles and blogs and then I accidentally stumbled upon this article which talks about the "proper way" to use Reddit to gain targeted traffic: http://bloggingwizard.com/reddit-quick-dirty-guide-targeted-traffic/ What do you think? Have you ever used Reddit to boost your blog/page views? Can you share a tip or two?
just like with anything else you have to post good content that people like. If what you post sucks and is just to gain a link it won't work for you. If you post something that people are interested in or think is funny than you will have success.
Yes. I think that is a major factor too. I did share a lot of good posts on Reddit back then but I didn't get a lot of traffic because I didn't even dare to bother about those sub-reddits, etc. To cut the story short, I just used the site to get views without even knowing how things should be properly done. Oh well, I learned my lesson and I'm hoping not to do the same mistakes ever again.
If I didn't encounter your forum post here, I haven't realized that Reddit is that powerful. Tell me how were you able to get that 1k fan views?
To tell you the truth, I didn't expect to get that much views. It all happened when I posted a post regarding a particular anime topic. I used a sub-reddit and everything else is history. Now, I am still in the process of discovering the right strategy. As we all know, Reddit hates spam and there's no way that spammers can escape the mods. I also agree with YasirYar. There is a great difference between a good content and a great content.
reddit is unpredictable, sometimes you get extremely traffic, but sometimes just ended in the junk and no one touching your links. you must creative and makes more relevant in tittle, be patient and you will get the best result
