That CTR is still ridiculously small. I feel like ads on Reddit are beyond useless due to the cynicism of the user base + the high prevalence of adblock.

- VLM 12y ago"the high prevalence of adblock" I didn't know reddit had ads until this HN story. Interesting.
- freehunter 12y agoThe only ads I see on reddit (outside of AMA and some fairly suspiciously-timed posts about a certain brand that happens to be releasing a new product) are either at the top of the page as a sponsored post, or ones at the side about some ridiculous Lambeosaurus or "instead of an ad, here's a penguin". Seriously, what's the deal with how much advertising they do for /r/dinosaurs? Am I the only one seeing this?

- tyler-b 12y agoHave you seen better results from AdWords, Facebook or another source? Any tips you want to pass along will be appreciated ;)
- shiftpgdn 12y agoI've had okayluck with ultra well targeted Adwords ads, better than reddit. I've done site takeover style ads with buysellads.com which has worked out pretty well but it's expensive and hard to do when you're just starting out.
