Hey guys, I have been scouring the forums and I see there is a lot of talk about using subReddits to:
A: drive traffic to your site
B: getting your link to flip to a do-follow​

Can someone please send me an example of a good subReddit post where this was accomplished. My website has some unique artwork and I want to share the post as images, but I cannot figure out how to share an image and have a link back to my site in the same post.
 
So ideally I want to post a picture, have a link back to my site, and then pay a reddit upvote service to upvote it so that it flips to a do-follow. Is this all possible in one post?

I have had some success with reddit, you may also want to try Imgur if its artwork as that seems to do well there too. What kind of artwork is it?

As for the do follow stuff I'm not qualified to answer that one so I hope someone else can assist you with that. but as for the traffic a ranked post would bring its considerable, you need to structure a post perfectly in order for it to pass the review and having a link is a no no, maybe add the link in later when the post is picking up steam in the comments or edit the original post to include the link. You need to make it seem like a third party is just making post though as opposed to the business itself promoting. Also you have a few minutes to edit a post so in future if its less than 10 minutes old you should just edit the old post to avoid posting multiple times in a row and potentially being seen as inflating your post count.

I may have a few more ideas for a good way to structure a post if you tell me more about the product, specifically is it relatively small or do you sell huge pieces of art?

There are two types of posts on Reddit: Link posts and text posts. If you make a link post, then you're linking directly to the image that you want to showcase and can only have one link (or you can link to an album on Imgur). But you can only have one link, which means you can't both link to the image/album and link back to your own website. You're going to need to make a text post, which can be done from the same place you'd make a link post (the submit page - reddit.com/r/subredditname/submit). Then, you'll have to embed links to both the images and the link back to your money site.

I made a test post showing what this might look like here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/garbagecannot/comments/7c0a6l/mama_mia_check_out_this_garbage_test_post/

If a few people upvote that garbage, once it hits a score of 3+ the links should flip to d0follow. If like three people go do that, I'll copy-paste the HTML if you want.

Hello,

Here's a garbage test post. Look at these images:

* [Some image](https://i.imgur.com/zYI1Pzx.jpg)

* [President Trump](https://i.imgur.com/uTvDRrZ.jpg)

* [A Garbage Can](https://i.imgur.com/kF1UY4Z.jpg)

These images were originally posted on [some garbage website](https://www.somegarbagewebsite.com/some-landing-page.html).

It's been too long to edit that last post, so am making a second post instead:

If a few people upvote that garbage, once it hits a score of 3+ the links should flip to d0follow. If like three people go do that, I'll copy-paste the HTML if you want. JK, made a second post here and shot a few upvotes at it to demonstrate:
https://www.reddit.com/r/garbagecannot/comments/7c0bnu/even_better_garbage_wow/

Also, apparently it's a score of 10+ (?) I swear it used to be 3+. For the test post I just made above "even better garbage," it was showing as nofollow until 10+. Weird. Either way, it's not a particularly lofty goal.

Oh that's pretty sweet, so now this even better garbage post is acting as a do-follow link to your site. I guess the strength of the link depends on the strength of the subreddit. Also, a lot of people currently believe that the strength of a link is also affected by how much traffic the page sees, so getting reddit do-follows on some popular subreddits should be very worth.

Not to mention the traffic...Thanks Matthew.

Pretty much. Or at least it would be if I owned the domain somegarbagewebsite.com.

And yes, link strength depends on a lot of factors. Even though that link is d0follow, it's not particularly great (you might even say it's garbage). Reddit's internal linking has a big impact on how strong links are. Reddit posts with more upvotes have more internal links pointing back at them, which makes links from those posts stronger.
