I sometimes browse the frontpage of reddit and I feel like the best way to advertise there is by making "real" submissions. I've seen quite a lot of highly upvoted submissions like "look what my girlfriend got me!" linking to a picture of some "geeky" product. Maybe I'm a bit cynical but I can't help thinking 80% of them are just marketing in disguise. Also, you don't even have to pay to submit those stories. I'm not sure how reddit could solve this problem.
