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.
