No More Backlinks? Due to Reddit?!

Social Media users don't like being manipulated. You should have tried harder to avoid the perception of manipulating the results in the Reddit community.

If the managers of Reddit killed your links, then that is within their prerogative to do. They own the store, so they can manage it any way they see fit.

Ouch - epic fail. Social communities hate being told to do something.

Where does it say you have no links? Nobody can just delete your links, unless you mean links from within reddit?

And yes you can manipulate reddit, but not doing something as dumb as that.

Lol. This thread gets five stars from me!



Okay, I know I should be sensitive here, but I can't help laughing a little at your expense lol, those comments were really funny..
It was a terrible idea to attempt to manually ask for ratings on a social discovery service.

What your employee should have done is contacted members of the Reddit community that he/she commented alongside and "made friends". Reddit holds meetups so meeting people in person wouldn't have been a bad idea either.
As friendships [would have] grow[n] (over the course of several months, maybe even a year), you'd be able to be bold enough to suggest the idea of helping a specific piece of content up.

Well, what's done is done.
I applaud your effort in trying to create an effective apology campaign, slapping the Reddit logo right up on your header and using the ms-paint-trollface, but you've dug yourself a hole way too deep to be dug out that way.

Although you have gotten a couple of positive comments, you're not getting back up on Reddit without building yourself a new reputation as a trusted content creator.

(1) First you have to ask yourself "Do you really want to re-establish your value on the Reddit community?"
Because it's going to take a lot of effort.

(2) Make sure you have someone who is writer and a decent humorist with prose that is nothing short of spectacular.
You're also going to want a rather visionary designer, with an original (unorthodox) sense of style and acquired taste for web trends.

(3) Seriously consider redesigning your website. Your current design is minimalistic and simple. There is nothing wrong with this, but you've got to remember what it is you're doing your are rebranding yourself.

(4) Now I'd advise making an infographic,
Maybe something dedicated to Reddit like
"All about Reddit" with sections like (these are just suggestions)
"History of Reddit",
"Reddit and Traffic",
"Why Reddit Wins" (about the altruism of reddit) Reddit #notable contributions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Reddit's internal mechanism"
Et cetera.

So again, you have to ask yourself: is it worth the investment?

Good luck to you- you're going to need it.

Also, if you're an avid reader I recommend the book "Buying In" by Rob Walker to give you a feel of how manipulation of internet consumer behaviour is done (it's marvelously written).
Oh, and here's how I do it, btw

I think they just flagged any Reddit submission that had any relation with his company and had it removed from the community.
