Howdoes 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 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

human one. “ - Bill Murray AMA (Jan. 2014)
