Should you submit to Reddit?
reddit.com has a very strong Domain Rating of 95. Listings on Reddit get a nofollow link. It can still send visitors, but search engines don't count it toward your rankings.
Listing on Reddit is free, though some free directories ask for a backlink or put new submissions in a queue. Reddit is a community rather than a listing site. Self-promotion only lands when you share something useful, so read its rules first.
Submit for the audience, not the backlink: the value here is the people who see your launch.
Before you submit
- Write a one-line tagline and a short description once, and reuse them across directories.
- Have a square logo and two or three screenshots ready.
- Note the date you submitted, so you can follow up if the listing doesn't go live.
