Has Anybody Tried Reddit Ads?

Yeah, I know it's mainly losers from mum's basement.
Was wondering if the ads were expensive there.
They give away $100 so it's kinda fishy.

Yeah, the advertising platform of one of the most popular websites in the world is "fishy". Google and Bing give away much more than that, are they "fishy"? To answer your question, Reddit ads can wield a great ROI if used correctly, just like on any other platform. However, if you haven't spent time on different subreddits, and have no idea how the users operate, don't spend your money on Reddit ads. I can tell you that most people complain about not being able to sell products with Reddit ads because Reddit users are much harder to convert in general. They are as previously mentioned tech-savvy and pay a lot of attention to detail. About bot clicks everyone is talking about, I have not encountered any of that, but I haven't used ads on Reddit for a year or two just to be fair.

That is a good point you need to understand the platform before buying ads. I see the giveaway type post do well. A user was making fake neon signs then would go to a small/medium subreddit and make a custom neon sign. Then they would say doing a giveaway. I have seen some of their post hit the all/ popular page and then it really takes off and users will convert that way

Well, Reddit is quite a goldmine when it comes to free traffic. For that, you would need a VERY reputable account and VERY quality posts (instead of shitty spam). If such posts take off (maybe even hit the front page), you can make a lot of money. However, Reddit mods/users are persistent, and their reporting system is also very strict, so it's pretty hard not to get banned while promoting anything that makes you money. With that being said, if you have the time to use Reddit app even for your interests from time to time, you'll figure out how to generate lots of leads for free. I'd rather do that than spam FB groups and rotate proxies all day.

Not my best experience to be honest
Very few clicks despite quite decent CPM
At least got that free credits thing and didn't spend much budget on it

Yet that may be better for some gaming/gamibling niche or such as Reddit audience seems more suitable for these things

how do you normally determine if a visitor is a human or bot?

I see they offer $100 free ad credit and I was wondering if reddit ads were any good.
Has anybody tried reddit ads? Are they expensive? What about conversions?

If they are giving free $100, you should use it to test. Like other networks, efficacy depends on the offers being promoted.
 
Reddit Ads is an absolutely terrible platform for anything other than maybe branded advertising.

You get way more bang for your buck with native marketing on the site.
 
I tried it for 2 different niches... the first was NSFW, and they don't let you target NSFW subs, so that was a waste.

2nd was a health related product, plenty of clicks / visits, but not a single converstion, was a waste of time and money. I feel like most the clicks were from bots.
 
Does somebody know if new accounts require specific thresholds of karma points, account age or some type of warmup before starting advertising properly?
For example on twitter the accounts needs to be 30-day old and have blue tick and on Facebook you need to post regularly for some days if you don't want to get banned
