Should You Submit Your Post to Reddit?

One important aspect to make money online is the traffic -- which means the number of visitors that go to your site. It is also known as "hits."

Heavy traffic means potential loads of money. If you are running sponsored ads, pageviews definitely go up if you have higher traffic.

So where do you go to increase your traffic? How are you going to do it?

One way of increasing traffic is to submit your post to reddit. Reddit is a site where you can post a link of an interesting news and stories, and other members vote if they like (upmod) it or not (downmod). Either way, you increase traffic and hits as people click on the link and look at your site.

But beware. Redditors are not fond of members submitting their own blog, and you can be accused of spamming. Worst, you can be reported and search engines might flag your site as a spam.

Having said that, do you think it is worth submitting your entries to Reddit?

Personally, I wouldn't do it. Reddit is addicting. The submissions range from political to funny ones and it is easy to forget more important things. Do not waste your time trying to convince people that your entries are good and worth their time. Establish more backlinks.

If you want more readers, then write good content and consider social blogging. People will come to your site on a regular basis the natural way.

On reddit, people are expecting "news" not "personal" experiences. You might be able to sneak in one or two posts, but I consider it a one-shot deal. Start thinking long-terms for a successful blog.
