Reddit is coming for affiliate marketers. Hard.
Here's what just happened to me.
I run a subreddit with over 2,000 members, been building it since 2021. So when I write something there, it has actual context and trust behind it.
I put together a genuinely helpful post targeting a keyword with KD over 50. No external links, no promo, just good content. Reddit picked it up organically, people engaged, comments started rolling in. A week later it ranked no. 1 on Google for the exact keyword I was going after.
I let it sit for a few weeks. Let the organic momentum from Reddit die down naturally. Once it was basically just a Google ranking asset at that point, I went back and edited my own post to add affiliate links.
Boom. 💥
Reddit's algorithm auto-banned the post. My post in my subreddit I fully control.
Not a human review. Not a warning. Just gone.
This is a brand new obstacle they've quietly added. They're not just watching for spam anymore, they're flagging post edits that introduce monetization after the fact.
It's getting harder out there. Just wanted to flag this so you don't make the same mistake.
Time to think of new tactics.
