You realize you have to pay an employee to do that right? Odds are it’s still more cost effective to just buy ads.

- Phillipharryt 7y ago"Organic" advertising though, the current big thing. It's the word-of-mouth from internet strangers. Supposedly converts better.
- xxxtentachyon 7y agoHow do you go about trying to track the conversion rate on organic advertising-cum-Reddit post? It seems like it'd be impossible without the consent of Reddit.
- Phillipharryt 7y agoYou would use different metrics. It costs nothing to make the post so you can just pump them out, you don't need to use impressions as a metric anymore because you're not paying for impressions. Instead you get good at curating titles, images and articles that gain traction on the site. This isn't a wild idea, it's all over the reddit frontpage every day.

- mitchdoogle 7y agoI don't understand the meaning of saying an employee is paid to do that. You might also pay a marketing agency to do it. The point is, Reddit doesn't get paid. As someone who uses Reddit everyday, I never see their ads, but I do notice posts that mention specific brands, websites, companies, etc.
