Oh here is Reddit in the news, I had almost forgotten about the service! How unthankful of me, to forget the site that sent quite some traffic here. However the service is testing a new system; sponsored links, which means that anyone can buy a link on the homepage. This is definitely going to get you a bulk of traffic given that you have the cash available to buy one (that will be $20 a day for a 10% slot out of the 24 hours). Sounds quite a deal given that the 10% would bring in quite some traffic through the link.
The test is more generic, meaning that you don’t get to target a particular category at Reddit, but that is only temporary. The plan is to introduce it for each category so advertisers can target specific categories that match their interest. And that doesn’t mean this link is popular, users will have the freedom to vote for the link too; which is good for the advertiser as a significant number of votes may actually win you a longer time slot that what you have paid for.
