Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • No spam or direct self-advertising: Direct ads, self-promotion, and service offers are removed. The safest posts teach or ask a real content marketing question.
  • Keep quality high: Basic questions, thin posts, and low-effort content can be removed when the answer is easy to find elsewhere.
  • Stay on content marketing: Posts should be about content strategy, distribution, measurement, writing, or related content operations.
  • Avoid low-quality SEO crossposts: Crossposts from SEO communities can be removed when they are not clearly relevant to content marketing.

Works well

  • Specific content strategy questions with audience, channel, and constraints.
  • Breakdowns of distribution experiments, content refreshes, or editorial process changes.
  • Useful summaries of articles or research with the key takeaways written directly in the post.
  • Tactical answers to content workflow, briefing, measurement, or SEO content questions.

Avoid

  • Direct agency, tool, guest-post, or link-exchange offers.
  • Top-10 style article drops with no summary or discussion prompt.
  • Generic SEO crossposts that do not explain the content marketing angle.
  • Thin requests for free strategy without context, goals, or constraints.
