community rules
Can you promote your product in r/adwords?
The provided rules do not address self-promotion directly. The sidebar says "A reddit for Google Adwords" and describes it as "Discussion about Google's Pay Per Click and Display advertising program called (AdWords) Google Ads..", but it does not state whether you can promote your product, so Reddit-wide norms apply.
Safer ways to show up
- Post about Google Ads topics and discussion, since the subreddit is described as being for Google AdWords
- Share helpful information using the linked resources, such as best practices or help center materials
- Answer questions about PPC and Google Ads instead of promoting your product
- If you mention your product, be cautious, because the provided rules do not give any explicit permission for self-promotion
Whatever the written rules say, the pattern that gets promo removed everywhere is the same: batches of similar comments, reused wording, and necro-posting on old threads. A promotional mention only has value if it survives, so pace matters more than volume. We measured this the expensive way: 70% of bought pool comments were removed within two weeks.
