    recently added reddit as one of social bookmark, it does bring me some traffic (after sumbit 80-130uv) but problem is high bounce rate and low page view ...
    My site average (6 month) :
    Page view 8.
    Bounce rate 35%.

    Reddit :
    Page view 2.4page.
    Bounce rate 69%.

    Should i still focus on reddit or just drop it ? i like traffic but prefer something different .... btw u think Reddit traffic is true real traffic ??

    You should know that Reddit is somewhat specialized in the kind of content that is found there. There are “subreddits” which are kind of like major topics that are of interest to Reddit users. The popularity of these varies depending on the day but top categories usually include programming, science and politics. If your content doesn’t relate to these categories or ones that would be of interest to people who enjoy these categories, you might not be able to get the attention of Reddit users. If that’s the case, you should consider using a different social bookmarking site instead of this one.

    However, Reddit does get a fair amount of traffic, so if you have regular or occasional posts on your site or blog that are relevant to Reddit, you should think about using the site. It allows you to get into some interesting discussion which can prompt additional posts that will then be seen by Reddit users. The interaction that’s necessary to make it work can be time-consuming but it can also pay off in high traffic directed to your site
