All members should familiarize themselves with the Reddit Content Policy: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy
Any posts or comments with links are automatically removed.
This is not a job board. This is not a recruitment tool. Please don't make posts or comments where you are looking to hire someone for SE, testers, reviewers, link exchanges, employment or freelance jobs, paid or unpaid,
Posts must be related to search engine optimisation, even just adjacent. For example if the entire post is around PPC, there are better subs for your post.
We must foster a healthy environment for all members. Disagreements will and should happen, but as long as everyone handles it respectfully and openly, there shouldn't be any problem.
No Spam, Self Promotion, Advertising, Brand Awareness etc including branded content, news roundups, posting how-to guides, community promotion
No Soliciting and "Asking to DM". Asking people to DM you will get your post/comment removed and will likely get you banned after a few times
This is a Q&A forum, not a blog platform.
Repetitive Questions, for example, where to get free backlinks or roasting sites, how SEO has changed etc - will be removed
r/SEO has near-zero tolerance for backlink begging, guest-post requests, or anything resembling link-scheme participation — these are removed within minutes and result in fast bans for repeat violators. Tool promotion is allowed but heavily scrutinized: the subreddit rewards original SEO experiments and tool comparisons backed by data. Generic 'how to do SEO' posts get downvoted by the experienced audience. Technical SEO questions and Google update analyses are the consistent winners.
This commentary is based on observed moderation patterns and community behavior — the authoritative rules are the numbered list above, pulled directly from r/SEO's moderators. Have questions about how rules work across Reddit? See the main tool page for FAQs.
ReplyMine watches r/SEO (and the rest of Reddit) for high-intent posts where your product fits the conversation — so you reply where it matters, not where it gets removed.
