Can I include a link to my site in my post?
Yes, but only in the monthly sticky thread, and the post has to carry real advice content, not just a link and a signature.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Post Advice Content in the Monthly Thread!: Post advice and strategy content in the monthly sticky thread. You may include a signature and links but it needs to have content.
- Keep Discourse Civil: Keep discourse civil; be respectful and add value to the dialogue.
- No Selling or Upselling: Add value with your comments and posts. No selling or up selling of products or services allowed.
- No Blog Posts: This includes asking for feedback on blog posts. It is too often spam, unfortunately.
- No External Surveys/Feedback Requests: Too often this is upselling / collecting contact info and results in spammy posts.
Works well
- A detailed advice post in the monthly sticky thread, like lessons from growing your own business, with a signature and a link at the end.
- A strategy breakdown in the sticky thread that walks through a real tactic step by step, so the content stands on its own before any link appears.
- A plain text comment that answers someone's growth question with specifics from your own experience, with no links and no pitch.
- A question post that asks the community for their own experience on a growth topic, which adds value without selling anything.
Avoid
- Posting advice or strategy content anywhere other than the monthly sticky thread, because “Post Advice Content in the Monthly Thread!” gets it removed.
- Dropping a link to your blog post, or asking the community for feedback on a blog post, because “No Blog Posts” covers both.
- Running a survey or asking people to fill in a feedback form, because “No External Surveys/Feedback Requests” treats that as spam bait.
- Pitching your product or service in a post or a comment, because “No Selling or Upselling” bans it outright.
- Adding a link in a regular post, since links are only permitted inside the monthly sticky thread.
- Getting into arguments or talking down to people, because “Keep Discourse Civil” asks for respect and added value.
What r/growmybusiness Is For
r/growmybusiness is a place to find and share creative advice to optimize business growth. That comes straight from the community description. The people here are founders and business owners looking for growth ideas, and the people posting are meant to be sharing advice and strategy, not selling. The rules make the shape of the community very clear. Real advice and strategy content lives in the monthly sticky thread, and the main feed is for discussion that adds value. If you show up to help people grow their businesses, you fit. If you show up to funnel people to your product, you do not.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that shapes everything here is “Post Advice Content in the Monthly Thread!”. It says advice and strategy content belongs in the monthly sticky thread, and that you may include a signature and links there as long as the post has real content. “No Selling or Upselling” bans selling or upselling products or services in your posts and comments. “No Blog Posts” removes blog posts, and it even covers asking for feedback on blog posts. “No External Surveys/Feedback Requests” removes surveys and feedback requests, because the moderators say they too often turn into upselling or contact collection. “Keep Discourse Civil” asks you to be respectful and add value to the dialogue.
What To Post
Put your advice and strategy content in the monthly sticky thread. That is the one place where you are allowed to include a signature and links, and the rule says it needs to have content, so write something genuinely useful. A good sticky thread post here reads like a short guide or a set of lessons from something you actually did, written to help the reader, with your signature and link riding along at the end. Outside the sticky thread, keep it plain text and keep it helpful. Answer questions, share what worked for you, and add value with your comments. If you want to know what a good post looks like before you write one, read the current sticky thread and the recent posts, and match the tone you find there.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed here is posting advice content outside the monthly sticky thread. The moderators say plainly that they remove advice content posted outside it. Blog posts are out, and so is asking for feedback on a blog post. Surveys and feedback requests are out. Any selling or upselling of products or services is out, in posts and in comments. Links are only permitted inside the monthly sticky thread, so a link in a regular post is a problem. And keep it civil, because respect and added value are part of the rules.
