Can I share a strategy that worked for my business?
Yes, as long as it is a text post, it has the right flair, and it is not an ad, a survey, or AI generated.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Blog/Article/Video Link: Link submissions to blogs, articles or videos are not allowed
- Clickbait: Sensationalized/clickbait titles are not allowed.
- Flair: Use appropriate flair to mark your posts. If you can't find a flair that's matches your post, choose "Other" and contact the mods with a flair submission.
- Advertising: This place is not for offering services or looking for a job, these posts belong in /r/forhire, or /r/jobs.
- Low Quality Content: Posts may be removed if they are linked to a source that is low quality. If the content from the link is short and doesn't require graphics to help deliver the message, then post all the content from the source in your submission with a link to the source at the bottom.
- Surveys and/or homework/assignment help: Don't post them.
- No AI Generated Posts: Posts that have clearly been generated by ChatGPT or another chatbot will be deleted and user banned.
Works well
- A text post where you explain a marketing tactic you ran, what you did, and what happened, written entirely in your own words and tagged with the right flair.
- A plain question about strategy or best practices, such as how people approach a channel or a campaign decision, with a flair that matches the topic.
- A full write up of a short piece of content placed directly in the post body, with the source link at the bottom, exactly as “Low Quality Content” describes.
- A lessons learned post about a campaign or experiment that failed, told honestly without any pitch attached.
- A news discussion post where you summarize the story in your own words and invite people to weigh in, no article link in the submission itself.
Avoid
- Dropping a link to your blog, article, or video, because “Blog/Article/Video Link” bans link submissions outright.
- Writing a sensationalized title to grab attention, because “Clickbait” gets it removed.
- Posting without a flair, because “Flair” requires you to label every post.
- Offering your services or asking people to hire you, because “Advertising” says this place is not for that and points you to /r/forhire or /r/jobs.
- Linking to a thin source, because “Low Quality Content” allows removal of posts tied to low quality links.
- Asking the community to fill in your survey or do your homework, because “Surveys and/or homework/assignment help” forbids both.
What r/digital_marketing Is For
This is a community for digital marketing news, best practices, strategy, and learning, straight from their own description. The people here want to talk shop about how marketing actually works, not get pitched. The rules make the room feel like a working forum for practitioners: you share what you know in your own words, you label your post with flair, and you keep self promotion out. If you are a founder or marketer who wants to learn and contribute, this is your kind of place. If you want to funnel traffic to your blog, it is not.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that shapes everything here is “Blog/Article/Video Link”, which says link submissions to blogs, articles or videos are not allowed. That means you cannot drop a link and walk away, so plan to write your post as text. “Flair” requires you to use appropriate flair to mark your posts, and if nothing matches, choose Other and contact the mods with a flair submission. “Advertising” says this place is not for offering services or looking for a job, and points those posts to /r/forhire or /r/jobs. “Clickbait” bans sensationalized titles, so keep your headline plain and honest. “Low Quality Content” warns that posts may be removed if they are linked to a low quality source, and it adds a useful workaround: if the content from the link is short and does not need graphics, post all the content in your submission with the link at the bottom. “Surveys and/or homework/assignment help” says do not post them. Finally, “No AI Generated Posts” says posts that have clearly been generated by ChatGPT or another chatbot will be deleted and the user banned, which is as strict as it sounds.
What To Post
Write a text post in your own words, and give it the right flair before you hit submit. A good shape here is a plain write up of something you actually did: a strategy you tested, a result you got, a mistake you learned from, all explained in full inside the post itself. If you want to reference a source, follow the “Low Quality Content” guidance and put the whole short piece of content in your submission, with the link at the bottom. Keep your title honest and specific, because “Clickbait” is enforced. Ask genuine questions about strategy or best practices, since learning is part of what this community is for. Write everything yourself, because “No AI Generated Posts” is a ban, not a warning.
What To Avoid
The fastest ways to lose your post or your account here are clear from the rules. Do not submit links to blogs, articles, or videos, because “Blog/Article/Video Link” removes them. Do not use a sensationalized or clickbait title, because “Clickbait” bans those. Do not skip your flair, because “Flair” requires it on every post. Do not offer services or hunt for jobs, because “Advertising” sends those to /r/forhire or /r/jobs. Do not post surveys or homework help, because “Surveys and/or homework/assignment help” says do not post them. And above all, do not post anything written by a chatbot, because “No AI Generated Posts” means deletion and a ban for the user, not just the post.
