How do you sneak your amazon links into reddit posts tips and tricks please :)

[ATuringtest]

I have a decent 40k plus reddit account I've used for ages, never used it for IM. I know people use reddit for affiliate links etc, so I was wondering how I can sneak in mine on posts.
I did one post for an amazon link with my main and it stuck well. I did another one on a new account and it was auto deleted. Same format etc for both.
How many points does a new account need before it stops auto deleted posts ?
and any tips on how to get points fast ?

I don't do amazon affiliate but I would assume it's the same process as quora with affiliate links. Give somebody a detailed, long answer to the question they're asking and drop your aff link casually somewhere in the answer, most of the time if your answer is detailed enough they don't mind your links

It has nothing to do with points. Reddit automatically marks Amazon affiliate links by default as spam. The subreddit either has to have edited their auto-moderator settings to auto-approve Amazon affiliate links, or manually approve your post. This applies whether you directly submit a link or submit a post with an amazon affiliate link in the post. Did you actually check your post using incongito mode logged out to see if it was really showing live? Did you see any comments or upvotes?

So would you use something like Bitly for these types of links?

I'd say, make them beg for it Mostly 20+ comment karma is good enough for most subreddits.

Use one account to post everything about the link but the product and then use another account(s) to comment asking for the amazon / Buy Link as you aren't able to find one.

Then, Just simply drop the link there as a comment reply from the posting account or some other account, although the clicks and impressions wouldn't be as much as when the link is in the OP but it'd still stick.

Would prevent the link from deletion by a mod, but automod or very strict subreddit is a different beast altogether.

P.S. If the link sticks, comment from a couple other accounts to put the link in the post as its very difficult to find it buried in the comments, can ask the mods for permission (you don't wanna get banned from the subreddit altogether) and if one allows, boom, you got some $$$ to collect

Good Luck!

Good question, but not quite. Reddit has every major URL shortener blocked/flagged as spam. So your best bet is using your own domain and doing redirects. I install WordPress, then using Pretty Links plugin myself, this allows for easy tracking of clicks, easy changing out of links. For added legitimacy, you can set up a basic homepage so when people do some snooping around, it's not super obvious you are a spammer, and you might even be able to upsell them on a service or product.

Eventually you would get your own domain blocked/blacklisted, so you don't want to use a high-value domain. Thought I should add that in. It can last for days, weeks, or even months depending on what you are linking to and how many people report you. The higher quality your posts/links, the longer it will last.

mate that is why I come to BHW fantastic info ! So basically to boil it down, combine a micro niche website and the amazon links from the posts you create ? Two hops instead of direct.. love it

Checked and your right, the post is not live lol another great tip

What about using twitter as a landing page?

I always use my own domains for landing pages/blog posts and I haven't had anything removed from Reddit so far. I don't bother with redirects or direct affilliate links, though.

There are a few subreddits where affiliate links are allowed.
However, you have to be approved by mods. Some subs that I know are in the tech area (laptop/pc advice and stuff).
So, if you normally contribute (no spam) to those subs and the mods approve you to post aff links, you can make some really nice money.

If reddit has a bot that opens links in posts, it will follow the redirection and will know you're using an affiliate link, kind of like what Facebook does when you insert a link. For these cases you need to take control of the redirection and detect when the link is being accesed by a bot so you send bots to one page and real users to another.

Two things that are working, boy it will be saturated much more, first one about sneaking your amazon links make a twitter account, be sure to make it pro as much as possible within your re sub niche, put your affiliate link on twitter, and sneak your affiliate link to reddit, you migh ask why is that, first twitter links are not auto deleted, they are trustworthy on reddit, second you will save your reddit account from ban, you can deny that is not your twitter account, say on description on reddit that you saw it and it look interesting to be publish, or something, your role to play with it!
About fast point: go to News, worldnews, politics publish interesting content from big sites ONLY and preferably about trump, believe me they go really crazy about it, lol, and you will have points coming fast and furious
same goes with big subreddits

Reddit blocks just based on the URL not following redirection as far as my experience goes.

Yes very common for people to link to a tweet as a landing page.
