It's not obvious to me that this is necessarily a good place to advertise. Reddit's community is very fickle.

- kn0thing 17y agoBut what if you're selling the shiny new object of the moment?!

- bumblebird 17y agoAlso they all run adblock etc.
- aarongough 17y agoI don't think that's likely to be an issue in this case because the ads are not presented in a standard ad format, instead they are part of the usual list of reddit items.
- bumblebird 17y agoSure. I was more meaning that they may not be easy to monetize once they click through to your website.
- ericd 17y agoYeah, probably not good for ad-based sites, but those usually don't have high enough revenue/user to make advertising cost effective anyway. For a cool new consumer product or service that makes money directly, though, this could be great. When I tried it, the CPC was very low. Whether it's worth it depends on how good a fit the thing you want to advertise is with the audience of Reddit.
- robryan 17y agoI guess it would be a good way to get some interest in a new service, thinking of it similar to a HN review my app post which you can keep at the top for more than a couple of hours. I can't imagine making a great return selling something directly on there unless you product was so cool that a regular post would have had nearly the same effect.
