Traffic sources

Here I’ll tell you how I ran traffic from the Reddit forum to AdsDoom Smartlink using Snapchat.

Reddit is the largest forum in the world (22nd most visited site in the world and 11th in the US (according to SimilarWebrweb)). It includes approximately ~70% of mobile traffic and consists of “subreddit” – communities on various topics. There are separate subreddits on NSFW topics, where everyone can post various 18+ content. It’s necessary for this campaign because I was running traffic to Dating SmartLink.

The audience of this forum is divided into the USA (48%), followed by UK, CA, AU, and DE. The traffic consists of 70% of men (I think there are probably much more men, but no statistics). The predominant age of users is 25-34 years old (31.4%).

As a result, we have a top forum with a loyal attitude towards 18+ topics, TIER-1 Geo, and a solvent male audience. Obviously, we need to use this traffic and monetize it!

The setting of the emulator and proxy for work

I started working with this forum from two smartphones, but a week later the profiles were banned along with my devices and IP. Therefore, for scaling, I used an emulator. I have always worked only with Bluestacks, so I will talk about the emulator settings using his example, but the same can be done with others.

1) Download Bluestacks 5. 

2) To make unique each created emulator profile, do the following:

Download and install Bluestacks Tweaker. This software is needed to install ROOT rights to the profile and, most importantly, to install Xposed.

3) After installing ROOT rights and Xposed on the profile, I download DeviceEmulatorPro (in app format). Using this application, I change IMEI, Android ID and other profile IDs, including series, number and operator of the SIM card.

4) This way, I have a ready-to-use emulator profile that is as close as possible to a real device with IDs and serial numbers.

Next is the proxy. For a long time I used ipv4 proxies through Proxifier software, purchasing them on different markets, but now I prefer to use the Internet from my smartphone’s SIM card. I didn’t notice any difference in the durability of the accounts on Reddit, except the fact that posting limits appear on low-quality proxies.

Extraction and processing of traffic

The emulator profile is ready, proxies are already available. Now I’m installing Reddit app on the emulator. It is necessary to buy an account (that exists for at least six months) and avoid various limits for new users.

All the time I was working, I bought accounts here (1.5$ per account with 8 months of check-in).

The account was bought, I log in and see the usual news feed on the socials (screenshot on the left). The icon on the top right is my profile.

To work on these topics, you need to enable the display of 18+ content in the profile settings, otherwise, the necessary subreddits where I’ll post content won’t be displayed.

Every Reddit profile has karma points. The more visitors will like your content, the more Karma points you’ll have. In general, local likes. The purchased account is empty. I’ll arrange it now.

As for the avatar and banner, I take random photos from the Internet. The name also doesn’t play a role, I put the first thing that came to mind (screen above).

So, can you post? No. Reddit doesn’t allow accounts with zero activity to post smth (a post can be posted, but without views). Therefore, you need to leave 3-5 comments under other people’s posts, and get minimal traffic to your profile. Since my profile is clearly female, the audience of 18+ subreddits will give us a “like” for no reason, or send us a private message, which will also make the account active.

In the search bar above the feed, I go to any 18+ community (I’ll tell you where to look for them below). In this case, I chose a subreddit with 4 million users to get feedback and karma faster.

I repeat this a couple of times under other posts and wait.

After a couple of minutes, there is the first message in a PM.

That’s all with the account setup, I’ll return to the posts later.

Now I need to create a Snapchat account, where I will transfer traffic from Reddit. There are two answers to the question of why:

1) In my experience, the conversion from Snapchat is at least twice as good as from a private forum or a simple post with a link.

2) Reddit accounts don’t live forever, but Snapchat can live as long as you want with the right approach and build up an audience. The forum audience actively complains when they see a direct link, which leads to a quick ban.

I won’t go into the details of creating a Snap account, it all makes sense. Snapchat account I keep on my phone so that I can add new friends from Reddit anytime, anywhere. The emulator also works without problems.

On the screenshot above you can see, that I indicated my Snapchat nickname in the profile description and pinned post.

Let’s back to the Reddit posts.
Now, we can run the traffic when both Snapchat and Reddit accounts are ready.

The subreddit list exists. It is called r/ListOfSubreddits and shows the list of subreddits of 18+ category

To make a post you need to click + button in the bottom of the page, then choose the type of content (photo/text/video etc) and write short catchy title.
As an example I’ve posted 3 videos in 3 subreddits: r/pu***, r/ho***, r/je***

Videos to Reddit are downloaded via the link. For that purpose I’ve taken random instastories, add to the redgifs.com service (alternatively you can use Imgur) and gotten the link.

Press + Button and post:

Screenshots above: short description, link to the video. Press Next, in the line I enter the name of subreddit from the  r/ListOfSubreddits, choose the right one and post it. In the profile you can see statistics, in couple of minutes my video got 86 views.
