Read my previous guide: Creating Reddit Accounts & Up-voting Posts for a BOOST of temporary traffic

Recently I have become pretty addicted to Reddit, why? Because I believe Reddit is one of the most active social platforms that has more user interaction, and it also helps you earn money quickly, provided you know what hits the big spot.

Some of you might be having a pretty hard time searching for subreddits relevant to your keyword, well...not anymore. In this guide, I will cover a pretty easy way to find and scrape subreddits without much hassle.

Contents:
  • Setting up Google CSE & Searching
  • Installing chrome extension
1. SETTING UP GOOGLE CSE & SEARCHING

We will be setting up a custom search engine of our own to only get links that are related to Reddit. If we use the main search engine, we will get a lot of results that won't be associated with Reddit, so this makes our process way more manageable.

A) Go to Google CSE

B) Click on add button and on sites to search add reddit.com/r/, and click create:

C) After clicking on create, click on public URL and search your main keyword in double quotes:

D) See the results? Yes, I know you don't want to go through each and every link yourself. Move onto the next part.

2. INSTALLING CHROME EXTENSION

A) Install Instant data scraper (chrome or any other browser that supports chrome extensions)

B) After installing, click on the Pokemon ball.

C) First click on a page number and click on the button "start crawling" and wait for the crawler to finish scraping links before proceeding to the next page. (If anybody has a better extension in mind, please do mention) and after you are done, click on CSV / XLSX

D) My results:

You can repeat this for as many keywords as you'd like. This way, you will have a list of lots of subreddits without much hard work! This is just a guide, as I have also mentioned in my previous guide; test out your own methods and take this only as a reference. :)

Great! So Just find the related subreddit and post on it... Then apply your last guide to get to the top. Great idea if combined together. Thanks.

Yep you could use both of those methods combined to get the best out of it.
 
Can't you just use operators in the usual google search field, like inurl:reddit.com, instead of using CSE?
You also have to filter results by indexing date because google often shows Reddit thread from several years back and you can't comment on them anymore.

There are several ways to do this, one if them being the one you mentioned. CSE allows you to filter by date
 
That si very true. I did not know just how better reddit is thatn facebook untill I tried it. Reddit centers on the most important things and it thereofr means that there are a lot of people active all the time. It is the best place for you to start if you want to make it big.
