4. How
does it work?
What do reddit ads
look like?
See that orange border?
That’s highlighting what a
reddit ad looks like when it’s
live on reddit.com. You can
identify a reddit ad by its
light blue background, and
“sponsored link” label on the
bottom- right of the ad.
Where will my ad appear
on a reddit page?
reddit ads rotate at the top of
any reddit page above the #1
post, regardless of the up-
votes and down-votes it
receives. This premium
location allows for
guaranteed
ad awareness.

How will someone come
across my ad?
During ad creation, you
choose what page your ad
will show up in. You can
target your ad to the reddit
frontage and/or subreddit
pages. A visitor of these
selected target pages will
see your ad.
How many times will
my reddit ad show up?
This is up to you! You
control the appearances
(“impressions”) of your ad
on reddit with your desired
budget. The reddit ad
platform delivers this
impression amount at an
even pace from your start
to end date,

8. • Craft a great headline. Keep it casual! Personalize the headline (Ex. “Hi, /r/Funny” or “Greetings, /r/Cooking!”).
• Use a relevant, easy-to-see thumbnail image. This makes the ad more interesting, which can lead to a higher CTR.
• Offer a promo code! It’s hard to pass up a deal, and gives you another point of data to track.
• Create a custom landing page for redditors. Adds a personal touch to your ad, that can lead to more site interest.
• Join the conversation in the comments thread. People like seeing the human behind the ad.
• Change the headline copy and thumbnail every few weeks for long campaigns. Keeps the ad fresh and interesting.
• Use the “search reddit” tool to search for your brand on reddit. Great way to prepare for questions about your brand.
• Have fun with your campaign! If you’re not enjoying it, chances are redditors won’t either.

“ Ads aren't bad in themselves. It's just the attitude. We all have to go to the store, we all
have to have groceries, but there's a way to sell you things to make the exchange more of a
human one. “ - Bill Murray AMA (Jan. 2014)
