Reddit- Very untargeted traffic?

laurenceh · 10-06-2009, 03:38 AM

I bookmarked a blog on reddit and linked to my homepage. I have had 59 hits referred by reddit but no opt ins.

It is a niche site so I'm just wondering wether redditt traffic is generally untargeted and better for just backlinks?

Social Bookmarking traffic in general is untargeted. I had a page that got 4000 visits in a day from reddit so I checked my stats and the traffic had made me 39 'adcents.' It went on to get 26000 visits in the next 3 weeks from reddit and 2 other sites, but it still doesn't look like adsense will be able to pay for the domain registration by the end of the year.

(sigh)

Edit: I checked the stats after it got 4000 visits, but realized later that this was 3 or for days into the traffic, not all on one day.

Yes, social bookmarking traffic is untargeted, but remember...it's free and fast.
Also, not all social media sites provide untargeted traffic. Some are more niche than others.
