How I Got Referrals from Reddit by Commenting on High SEO Posts
Most people think Reddit is a "temporary" traffic source. You post, get a spike, and then it dies. But there's a way to turn Reddit into a long-term referral engine.
The secret is High SEO Threads. These are Reddit posts that rank on the first page of Google for terms like "best seo tool for startups" or "how to find leads on twitter."
The Strategy
Even though the thread is "old," people searching Google are still clicking it every single day. One high-value comment on a top-ranking Reddit thread can drive referrals for *years.*
