Chugging away. I haven't had time to do an awful lot with this lately but there's not a whole lot needing done to keep it running. I really want to scale things up but I've several projects on my plate at the moment.
Account providers were hit pretty hard lately and (despite what most SMM panels are charging for) fresh accounts might increase your upvote count but they don't do anything for your ranking which means no traffic.
Reddit is good at fingerprinting obvious patterns between accounts but it's not that hard to get around if you're sensible about it. I am going to make an effort to get ahead of the potential problem by slowly building up newer accounts. At a certain point they will start to count but it'll take some testing to figure out when.
It depends on the post and the sub. On average 12-24 hours. The best one so far was up there for almost 48 hours.
Sure, SEO can bring in long term traffic on a single post. But it's misleading to call SEO 'less active'. Reddit can bring you almost instant substainable traffic in niches where most can't afford to compete in SEO. At a tiny fraction of the effort.
Also, the two are not mutually exclusive. If I'm trying to rank a post then I'm getting both a Reddit link and thousands of viewers on that page.

How long does a post get you traffic ?
Wont it go down as time progresses.. unlike SEO which is much less active posting ?
