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

Rule summary

  • No blog, article, or video link submissions: Link submissions to blogs, articles, and videos are not allowed.
  • No clickbait: Sensationalized or clickbait titles are not allowed.
  • Use appropriate flair: Posts should use the closest matching flair.
  • No advertising: Offering services or looking for a job belongs elsewhere.
  • No surveys or homework help: Survey and assignment-style posts are not allowed.

Works well

  • Specific questions about paid, organic, lifecycle, analytics, content, email, or funnel strategy.
  • Posts that summarize the situation directly instead of linking out.
  • Channel lessons with enough numbers and context to be useful.
  • Clear titles that state the decision or problem.

Avoid

  • Blog links, video links, and off-site content dumps.
  • Clickbait titles and vague hacks.
  • Service offers, job seeking, and agency promotion.
  • Surveys, homework, or research requests.
