Direct answer
Direct answer
As of , the answer is: Yes. Reddit drives strong long-tail SEO and high-intent traffic when used as a useful commenter, not as a promoter. The right move is to spend 4 to 8 weeks answering questions in 3 to 5 niche subreddits relevant to your audience, then occasionally link to your work when it directly answers the question. Self-promotional posts get downvoted, banned, or filtered.
Why
- Reddit threads frequently rank in the top 3 Google results for long-tail questions. A useful comment on a high-ranking thread captures that traffic indefinitely.
- Pick subreddits with 10K to 200K members. Larger subs (1M+) have too much noise; smaller subs don't have enough Google authority to compound.
- Mirror your best Reddit answers as canonical essays on your own site. The same content compounds on two surfaces.
