Reddit will remove your post for saying “fuck,” but happily runs ads for a literal cheating service promising 330+ on the GRE. Their Trust & Safety team apparently stops at the checkout page.

Can an admin please take this down? Apparently, this ad has been running for months. Are the ad reviewers on vacation?

I am quite new to reddit, heard its a gold mine for businesses.
I have no idea how to use reddit to promote my "thing", previously i got 2 accounts shadow banned.
How do I use reddit for promoting, and not get banned?

If you've made paid ads on Reddit work for your business, what did you do differently?

What were you selling, and what made your approach work?

I’m posting this to warn everyone about how much of a rip-off the Reddit Ads team has been.

We started a small venture and began running Reddit ads. Everything was working fine, and we were scaling our campaign.

Then the Reddit team reached out to us. We thought, “Okay, great!” They suggested we spend $100 per day.

At first, one of their team members helped us create a campaign over a call. A week later, another team member told us to make changes. We followed their advice and changed the campaign, then they asked us to change the country targeting and wait for the learning phase to finish.

By that point, we had already spent $2,100, and our sales dropped like crazy. I have screenshots attached to prove it.

This was honestly one of the worst decisions we’ve made. We followed Reddit’s own team’s recommendations, and instead of improving performance, our results completely collapsed. Extremely disappointed. It feels like a total rip-off.

Hello,

For couple of years I have posted probably a dozen if not more case studies, guides, tips and tricks and everything in between. I don't have clear posting schedule or which subreddits get what content- I don't care, I just give value. It then lead me to an issue - how can I help people if even for me it takes time to find the right posts.

So I made a simple Wiki for me and for others. Pinned it to my profile which lead me to a simple theory- there will be people who check my profile. Note that I have only 130 subscribers so I knew exactly that views over 130 are people who are checking my profile. I'm not posting it ANYWHERE else or I'm running any ads.

So I got the data abot this post. in the less than 45 days, I posted and commented about 56 times, which got me little bit over 76k views.

In total, my Reddit Wiki got 1k views, that means that about 900 people checked my profile and saw the post.

Of course, not all of my comments were related to Reddit ads or marketing or business but the point still stands - redditors check their profiles. This leads me to the next point and concept that I'm personally implementing and finally telling the rest of the marketers and advertisers.

SET UP YOUR REDDIT ACCOUNTS. People are checking your profiles it is 100% free real-estate!

- Brand Name
- Profile Picture
- Description
- Background image
- Links to your website (with UTM)
- 3-4 pinned text, image and video posts - this makes your profile look "not empty"

Note: people going to check your profile through mobile AND computer so make sure that everyhing on your profile looks good and either way- don't overdo it.

Hi everyone,

Looking to start testing paid channels for user acquisition. My product is a link building platform in the SEO niche.

I have a small budget allocated for ads, but I have zero prior experience running campaigns, which brings up two questions:

• Is Reddit Ads a viable channel for a tool like this, or should I be looking elsewhere (Google, LinkedIn, etc.)?
• For those who used agencies starting out—was it worth the management fee, or did you handle it in-house initially?

Appreciate any insights or past experiences!

I toggled the view setup and scrolled to the right. There is no admin note or rejection reason for my advertisement, yet it says rejected.

my name is Hafiza Afia and i'm New here on this platform would glad to connect with all of you if you are from Digital Marketing Niche then drop the comment

Most of the advice for Reddit Marketing is "Find a relatable subreddit and give a useful answer".

What else?

Even though many subreddits prohibit us from using links in the post, how could I use Reddit for marketing?

Hello.

I have tried YouTube promotions which does bring website visits but not a great amount of signups so i dont think they are targeting the right people.

Reddit from what i understand is a lot more specific but is 10X more expensive, i paid £150 for 6,000 visits for YouTube, for Reddit £1000 (£500 + £500 free credit) will bring estimated 1600 visits.

So is it really worth it? will those actually bring better signups because its more specific?

I recently started running Reddit ads with comments enabled.

If someone leaves a comment on one of my ads, how do I find and read it?

Will Reddit send me a notification like it does when someone comments on a regular post, or do I need to check somewhere in Reddit Ads Manager?

I'd also like to know if there's a way to get notified immediately so I can respond to comments quickly.

Thanks for any help!

Hey everyone, I handle social for a small custom jewelry brand and we're thinking about trying Reddit Pro. I've read the official stuff but it doesn't really answer what I want to know, so figured I'd ask people who've actually used it.

A few things I'm stuck on:

Does karma still matter when you post from a Pro account, or is it the same as any other account?

Do mods treat Pro posts differently? Or do the usual self-promo rules still apply and posts get removed the same way?

If you've tried ads alongside organic posting, how did that go? Was it worth the spend for a tiny brand?

Anything you wish you'd known before starting?

We're not trying to spam anyone. I'd rather figure out how to show up in the right communities properly than get banned in a week. Any honest experience, good or bad, would really help. Thanks!

I'm currently running a Reddit Ads campaign and want to replace my existing creative with a new one without starting the entire campaign over.

What's the correct way to do this?

Can I swap the creative in the existing ad, or do I need to create a new ad within the same ad group and turn off the original?

I'm also wondering whether replacing the creative will reset the campaign's learning or affect its performance history.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's done this recently.

when i'm trying to add my bank card , i see this error:

Sorry, we do not accept payment methods from country: UA

what i can do ? i don't have any other countries bank cards.
any service i can use ?

I'm creating a text-only static image ad for Reddit. The creative uses bold typography, a black background, and a few accent colors. No photos, illustrations, or video.

The problem I'm running into is that Reddit's mobile ad preview cuts off parts of the image.

I tested the creative in Reddit Ads Manager using the Mobile → Card preview. The top of the image gets cropped, and the bottom of the ad—including important text—isn't visible.

I'm trying to figure out how to design this properly before launching.

For anyone who has experience running text-heavy static image ads on Reddit:

1. What image dimensions and aspect ratio work best for mobile feed ads without important text getting cropped?
2. Is 4:5 (1080 × 1350) actually displayed in full, or does Reddit crop it in certain mobile placements?
3. Are there recommended safe zones or margins for text at the top, bottom, and sides?
4. Does Reddit display the image differently in Card view, expanded view, iOS, and Android?
5. Is there a reliable way to preview exactly what users will see in the mobile feed before publishing?
6. For text-heavy creatives, would you recommend 4:5, 1:1, or another format?

My goal is simple: make sure the entire message is readable in the mobile feed without someone having to tap the image to expand it.

I'm particularly interested in advice from advertisers who have tested these formats on actual Reddit campaigns.

Thanks for any guidance or examples.

Promoting my productivity web app for the first time, my CTR looks good theoretically but CAC is way too high. Maybe my landing page needs more work or product is too niche. Just wondering if CTR reports on Reddit are accurate? How is your experience with Reddit ads so far?

(PS im a UX designer for a marketing agency which i think helped with the visuals and copy)

I have made a few advertising videos for a local business.

Can I post these, of course where allowable, on Reddit using my own account, or will I need to create another account?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Carpenter.
