[Method] Quick and easy Adsense arbitrage using Reddit (+fast indexing and positioning bonus)

[roydan]

I tried this. Got $5 worth of upvotes from rapid workers. Didn't notice any traffic from reddit

That's weird.
I having rough times restoring the success I had the first time, but I always at least break even on the traffic I get.

Do you know any subreddit that allow links and not moderated,

even non moderated not accepting links and no links there stays even youtube links or twitter tweet links, reddit is seek community , if got link there can make fortune from amazon affiliate,

My link stuck alright but never got more than 3 clicks

Did a chunk of work with Reddit a while back and it’s something I keep meaning to get back to.

My suggestions:

• Spending $5 plus an article to make $20 isn’t a great trade. If you’re only chasing Reddit traffic you don’t need expired articles or to write something from scratch. Curate something together and take 5 minutes to add a little commentary.
• If you are putting up unique content then skip step 2. There’s no reason to stop Google indexing it for the sake of Reddit. If you can target keywords with content that appeals to Reddit as well that’s a bonus.
• Results will vary wildly between subreddits here. Some subs have mods that will pick through your profile even if you have no ads or links on your site. Others will hate ads but you can have 20+ affiliate links in there and they won’t understand it. I test subs with parasites and general niche domains before creating anything specific for it.
• Bonus points if you build a list from the traffic.

Reddit one of the best pure traffic on the internet. You are genius. hank you for the idea.

It depends on a few things. Topic posted, title, subreddit used, community reaction, community engagement, account banned/shadowbanned, post removed/live.
Not to mention that the hours of the day are important even on subreddits with traffic.

Also, cheap upvotes from sites like rapidworkers have a really low stick rate.
And sometimes they can even get your posts blocked/removed, because many of the workers have their accounts banned... red flag when a bunch of them want to upvote your shit.

Nice share, I will try this but not for reddit.

Do you create a text post and insert the link in it or create a direct link post?

All reddit user upvotes don't work actually. I have got only 56 upvotes when 100 people clicked upvote button.

I couldn't agree more.
Reddit can be a goldmine, but it takes time to find the right subs. I've got a network of accounts that I use for promotional purposes and it's important to grow them properly. It's just a shame that people think they can spam it to buggery.

If your link was spammy, you probably got a lot of downvotes. You have to provide some sort of value, otherwise, no one will click your link.

Any tips for identifying niches and subreddits?

This method is super simple and is based on getting Reddit upvotes to a post with a free guide or a tutorial-based article on your money site.
There isn't really a big secret revealed here, as I'm doing something I believe many of you have already tried before. Unfortunately, this isn't very scalable.

Things you need:
1. Site with Adsense (or any other ads placed, if you know what you're doing you can manually place some relevant CPA offers)
2. A good tutorial article. The one I used was an expired article I bought from @bossofthebosses (try to insert some inner links to relevant money pages)
3. a Rapidworkers account, with about $5 of credits - depending on the niche, could be $10 or more. (this part was published here by @Shibbi90 ).

What to do:
1. Post an article to your site.
It would be a quality post, as it's going to be posted to Reddit (and you really don't want these crazy bastards to not like it). Put some time into making sure it's factually correct.
2. As soon as you posted it, request indexing of it on Search Console (I have no idea if it's important, I just did it, to be honest)
3. Create a Reddit post in a tutorial-based sub or in a sub that welcomes this type of content. Make sure that the link to your post is appropriately placed and is using your market keyword)
4. Buy upvotes for that Reddit post on rapidworkers (I don't like providing them a direct link. I instruct them to go to the sub I posted it on and then scroll until they find my post and upvote it - provide a screenshot of it. make sure you ask for proof in a way of a screenshot, otherwise, they just mark it as done without doing anything). Make sure your headline is something like: EASY Reddit upvote - FAST PAYMENT or something. Make it international and don't pay more than $0.03 for an upvote.

For a "campaign" of a bit less than $5, I got almost $20 in Adsense rev, additional 200 organic visits on day 1 from the keyword I targetted, and some affiliate purchases from Amazon links I added to a page I linked to from the article I posted.
A total of about 800 targeted site visits for $5 is a fucking good deal.

I have a couple of accounts on Reddit, one of them with +2k karma and I see that it is almost impossible to create posts on Reddit that contain links because almost always in general, posts that contain links are labeled as spam, which is something that 99.9% of subreddits with more than 10k users prohibit.

In comments, it is much more viable to post links, but the problem is that the chances of someone noticing a link in a comment and clicking on that link are one in a million.

It has happened to me that Reddit users themselves have reported some of my comments for posting links in them, and I'm not talking about just any comments, I'm talking about comments that are relevant and related to the post where I make them, and this is pretty much the same headache that occurs on Quora.

Now, there are many subreddits with 1k or 2k or 3k users where you can post and they have almost no moderation, but what's the point of posting on subreddits that nobody sees? One checks the stats and finds 3 people logged in which is equals "zero visits".

So, I would like to know where or how to find "tutorial-based sub or in a sub that welcomes this type of content", because I have searched google and redditlist and I have not found subreddits that are worthwhile and that in addition to that have some tolerance for spam (which is what your method suggests) and that is something that in Reddit is not tolerated, as I mentioned before.

I appreciate your answer.

You can call it spam, but ideally, you provide some value to the users.
I don't know your niche, so can't really help you with finding an appropriate sub.
For pregnancy, for example, this is a great sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/BabyBumps/
here's a great general crafts sub that accepts tutorials: https://www.reddit.com/r/crafts/
I don't expect you to post your niche here in the forum, but I'm very limited in trying to help if I have no idea what you're really looking for.

Maybe spam isn't the right word, but on reddit and quora, no matter if you are trying to contribute something interesting and of value, most of the time for the moderators of those communities, "everything is spam".

As for the niches, I will write you about them by PM.

Thanks for replying.

A lot of mods are anal, others don't care. My comment with a link was given 400 natural upvotes and even reddit gold + 4 more rewards but 20h after posting the moderator still removed it.
So.. expect your comment to be removed no matter what (if the thread gains any popularity) but until then you get traffic.

Expect all the mods to be assholes and break their own "rules" all the time. It's just something you gotta live with.

 

[starski01]

What if you could target Reddit users from certain subreddit and DM them a link to your Reddit post?
Would that make this whole method scalable?

 

[DylanDog666]

On quora links are working.

On reddit not so much, even in comments.

No idea how to bypass this one.

It makes it a different method.

has anyone tried this method and got it to work?
