All 9 rules of r/SEO
- Follow Reddit Content Policy
All members should familiarize themselves with the Reddit Content Policy: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy - No Links Allowed
Any posts or comments with links are automatically removed. - No Work Offers
This is not a job board. This is not a recruitment tool. Please don't make posts or comments where you are looking to hire someone for SE, testers, reviewers, link exchanges, employment or freelance jobs, paid or unpaid, - Must be related to SEO
Posts must be related to search engine optimisation, even just adjacent. For example if the entire post is around PPC, there are better subs for your post. - Communicate kindly
We must foster a healthy environment for all members. Disagreements will and should happen, but as long as everyone handles it respectfully and openly, there shouldn't be any problem. - No Spamming
No Spam, Self Promotion, Advertising, Brand Awareness etc including branded content, news roundups, posting how-to guides, community promotion - No Soliciting and "Asking to DM"
No Soliciting and "Asking to DM". Asking people to DM you will get your post/comment removed and will likely get you banned after a few times - No Blogs, No Guides, No News, No Apps
This is a Q&A forum, not a blog platform. - No Low Quality Posts, Case Studies etc
Repetitive Questions, for example, where to get free backlinks or roasting sites, how SEO has changed etc - will be removed
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
