[Case Study]How Good Are Reddit Links?

SORRY, I MADE A MISTAKE ABOUT KARMA REQUIREMENT... SORRY
To create a subreddit and a d0follow link, your account should be 30 days old and some karma... 20 KARMA IS ENOUGH (from my experience but reddit will not reveal the real karma requirement). My test account had 19 karma when I started creating subreddits and now it's 106 karma due to my comments on relevant subreddits.

no worries dude :-)
 
I bought some ******** Reddit links in the past but seen no ranking increases. I think Reddit links are good for traffic if you can get your link in front of people, but for SEO they are only good for diversifying your link profile.
 

Nothing really changed.
After 2 weeks the cumulative improvement in rankings for 5 keywords was 63, checked day before yesterday and cumulative improvement was 67... 1 keyword went down and 4 keywords went up.
I've added some reddit links to my money site but it's difficult to evaluate the effect as I was building other links and that's why i did a test.
 
Well looks like reddit links have no effect on serp even if u provide a cute, simple article of 200-300 words article under the subreddit.

How did you come to this conclusion?
Reddit links pushed 5 keywords up (it total 63 positions up spread across 5 keywords, 12 positions on average).

OK, keywords moved up yesterday again... 99 positions up... but this new change is most likely due to google december update.
 
Just made a conclusion, they are more likely for traffic purposes I think. What is your approach to this? Do you create subreddits with the link and add some posts under them? If so;
-Even if they don't receive traffic, do they help keywords increase?
-What kind of articles you use? I mean word count, quality...etc

I want to create a campaign like that if it'll be useful also. I'd like to hear your recent thoughts, thanks.

Nah, no traffic from those new subreddits (just checked the server stats, not a single visit from reddit). To get traffic, you need to post in popular subreddits people actually visit.
1. I used articles about 500 words on average, not the best quality. I post an article of 200-500 words on the sidebar and inject a link or 2 and use the rest of the article to create a few posts, but those posts just to have a few posts, I don't add links in the posts as those links are n0follow. You can also add a link on the title bar but I haven't done it as I wanted contextual links.
2. I did this test purely for seo purposes and rankings increased by 12 positions on average.
