I’m working on a content/traffic strategy using Reddit and looking for the safest ways to share links without getting nuked or shadowbanned.
 
Avoid the big subs, smaller niche communities are more forgiving and edit the link in after 48–72 hours once the post gets some upvotes.
 
Each subreddit has its own rules about self promotion and link sharing, check the sidebar or pinned posts for guidance before sharing
 
Don't post your link in the subreddit if you are new.

Be active first then start dripping the links here and there. Also do not post the same domain
 
Don't share so many links on the same profile + use always contextual links.
 
Add some value to the subreddit before dropping any link. Answer questions, give some tips etc. That is very important, if you want to be successful with reddit. Reddit moderators can spot a spammer from afar.

Why avoid the big subs when those are the money magnets?
 
Share your link in helpful replies, not as spam. Use old accounts if you can, and don’t post the same link everywhere. Keep it real and useful.
 
From what I have seen, the best way to avoid getting banned is by sharing links that are helpful and fit the conversation. Don’t post the same link too much and mix up your anchor texts. Also, be active and helpful in the community to build trust.
 
It depends on your account authority. I see some people who are sharing the same link with same comment on the same post whenever their comments get deleted.
 
To avoid getting banned on reddit, consider using proxy servers. Also, it's best to share content that is valuable and engaging, as this can help you post links without encountering difficulties.
 
It all comes down to properly warming your accounts and also using quality non-spammed proxies, otherwise your accounts will get banned pretty swiftly.

Warm Up the Account (Don’t Skip This)


Reddit tracks account trust hard. Don’t post links right away.


Do this first for a few days to a week:


  • Comment in niche subreddits related to your topic
  • Upvote/downvote naturally
  • Post a few non-link text posts in relevant subs (discussion, memes, questions)

The goal: build karma (even 50–100 total is enough) and look like a human.
 
I’ve found mobile proxy helps avoid bans when combined with good account warming and natural engagement patterns.
