links are restricted nowadays. I'm working on growing a subreddit.
Do you think Reddit SEO still works?

Not what I meant.
Referring to build backlinks to the actual reddit pages to boost them further.

Reddit SEO still works. Your data is wrong. Or there's something else happening that you're doing and we don't know about.

Reddit is definitely still an unmatched source among platforms of its kind in terms of traffic.
Besides its constant growth in new members eager to read and share content, it also gets a large amount of traffic from non-members searching for things like 'search_query + reddit'

The recent Google core updates, including the December 2024 update, have led to noticeable shifts in search rankings. Some users have observed that Reddit posts are no longer ranking as prominently for targeted keywords.

I’ve noticed that too, especially after the recent Google core update. Reddit posts don’t seem to rank as well for targeted keywords anymore. It feels like Reddit SEO isn’t as effective as it used to be. However, I think Reddit can still bring valuable traffic if you focus on the right subreddits and create engaging, relevant content. It might not work as well for SEO, but building genuine engagement or using ads could still make it worth the effort.

I've seen fewer results for adult keywords on google recently. It's not just reddit. Looks like google is punishing nsfw content.

Thanks. Reddit might be no longer works for SEO, but just like youtube, it can still bring valuable traffics.

Really? I can understand it punishes some illegal words like deepfake or deepnude but punishing normal keywords like NSFW AI, I just don't understand...

Yes, it still works but you have to do it right. Reddit posts are given more preference by Google now.

I used to post targeted-keyword posts on this subreddit: r/AIGirlfriend , r/NSFW_AI_Products and r/NSFWchatBots . But they haven't worked well recently. New posts don't rank and old posts disappear under SERP.

Reddit SEO is still viable, but how well it performs will rely on how Google views user-generated content after the update. Good, informative posts with lots of user interaction might still rank. Adapt by making sure Reddit posts contain pertinent keywords and thorough, unique content. Additionally, to lessen dependence on a single platform, diversify your SEO approach.
