Can you promote in r/searchengines?
Discuss, Ask questions or literally anything related to Search Engines and SEO!
The short answer
Contribute genuine, non-spammy value first, label any self-promotion with the required flair, and avoid repeated linking in comments.
What works here
- Posting about your product/project when relevant and using the self-promo flair
- Answering questions and mentioning your tool as part of a helpful reply
- Posting unique content (no duplicates) and complying with license terms
What gets posts removed
- Posting duplicate threads or repeatedly posting the same promotional link
- Spamming self-promotional sites in comments or short timeframes
- Failing to label self-promotion with the required flair
