"Your domain will never be banned" Until admins decide to ban it lol, keep in mind the can ban text too not just links.

This is how I know you are spamming and not marketing aggressively, of course admins can ban urls EVEN if they are text, BUT if that happens it means you are promoting in the WRONG way from the beginning, why? because it means you spammed your url, it was banned site-wide and the url has been added to be banned no matter where you post in on the site, now..... IF you create several accounts and you start posting text post with you url within the text (anchor text + url) then you do not have to be banned site-wide, you may be reported in some subreddits and your post will be removed BUT your users will be up for longer and since most admins won't mouse over the text links your domains are safer, this will bring you good traffic, will make your accounts longer and you are flying under the radar..... but of course is more work than simply spam your links and keep rotating different cheap tlds you will eventually get discouraged and will never be able to expand the operation to 1000 or 2000 bots....

Soon you will have to change things up. Any method will have to be scaled to bring good traffic/income, and as soon as you scale your method, a bunch of threads will pop up on the support subreddits complaining about it and the Reddit admins will try their best to shut it down.

Contrary to what many people think, the reddit admin team is not composed of lazy dumb idiots, they know their job and do it well.

If threads like these don't pop up complaining about your method then you're probably not scaling it enough to be worthwhile:

• Your accounts will get banned doesn't matter the method.
• Reddit admins will often try to add a filter to catch all future accounts doing the same method once they ban an account.
• For the above reason, link and text spamming will result in the domain/text being flagged and future accounts posting them being banned instantly.
• An exception to the point above: Links/text commonly used by legitimate users will not get flagged. Example: twitter links are used for spamming very frequently and don't get flagged.
• They're willing to get a few false positives if the filter they add will catch a significant amount of spammers. Examples: They've flagged tor users doing several different things from commenting to posting links in the past.
• Many filters Reddit do is based on account age and karma. A young account posting a link to X site might get banned, but an aged one doesn't.
• Subreddit moderators can filter any kind of text and/or links. Spamming text/links will quickly stop working against an actively moderated subreddit whose moderators know how to use automod.
• Automod is a subreddit script that can automatically handle several moderation tasks.
• There is nothing subreddit moderators can do against watermarked images besides manually removing the posts: If you use an aged and karma farmed account to spam watermarked images, you're unstoppable until admins take care of you.
• Exception to the above: There are several reddit bots dedicated to detecting image reposts. Rotating or mirroring the images defeat these bots.
• Another exception: Very few subreddits run OCR bots to detect watermarks: they can be defeated by doing anti-ocr watermarks. But it's better to just ignore them and use clear readable text for better conversion.
• Reddit admins CAN flag images and can detect them mirrored OR rotated at a small angle, you will have to change things up when your accounts get caught.
• Reddit admins can't detect watermarks in images it seems, they likely don't OCR them currently.
• An easy and straightforward way to spam reddit is to buy a bunch of domains with cheap tlds and rotate them once they get flagged. Reddit is reluctant to flag entire tlds, but eventually they will do it once they get abused enough. Example: .xyz links are currently flagged as spam automatically, but .club works.
• Scraping reddit usernames: Scrape the first few pages of posts from a subreddit and get the users from the comments.
• Use the subreddit FreeKarma4U to farm small amounts of karma. For large amounts do image reposts on popular subreddits.
• You will have to create your own bot as anything public will be likely fingerprinted and result in your accounts getting banned automatically and you will be relying on someone else to update the bot, which can take days/weeks.
• When writing your bot, avoid praw of course.

Any reason why to avoid praw? Many applications use praw for legitimate reddit usage (i.e. mobile reddit apps).

Great thread, thanks for these all tips!

How dangerous is it to have many accounts with different domains that have a redirect to the same domain?
Example: 50 accounts, 1 domain per 5 accounts, but all domains redirect traffic to the same domain.

Imo the end domain is not in trouble but the domains u post on reddit will get banned and if any account posts a comment/post with that domain the comment/post is ghosted. They are brutal with domain burning but the accs themselves can survive and only get temp suspenaion (which is nice).
