Rule 1: Spam

How to show up here without getting banned

  • Don't post about your product. Answer questions in the comments with real expertise instead. People who find your answers useful check your profile, so say what you do there.
  • Read the sidebar and pinned posts. Moderators often add rules there, and rules change. Check r/PPC's before your first post.
  • Build a history first. Comment helpfully on r/PPC for a few weeks before you post. Accounts that only ever promote get filtered.
  • Say you made it. When you mention your own product, disclose it. Hidden promotion is the quickest way to a ban.
