No Self Promotion Means No Parasitic SEO, No Blogging, No News RoundUps, No Guides, No Teenagers

As we are winning our battle against bots and spam and making it a safer place for everyone to talk about SEO vs Egos - we are re-stating our rules for r/SEO to provide further guidance and bring our moderating operations in line with other similar sub-reddits like the Tech and other SEO platforms r/seo is a Community, not a jobs board or free advertising platform. If we allow one brand to do X we have to allow everyone. There's a fine line between "helping" by answering questions and by trying to create awareness and demand gen. As such - we are going to start strictly removing posts that are created for self promotion - there's no need for news roundups, blogging by proxy. You are free to blog on your exisitng blogging platform - but this not a blogging platform nor a proxy for one. If you feel you cannot communicate here without doing something that is clearly self promotion then you need to consider why you're here. These posts attract Q&A bots, spam, reports, VM bots, and other brands to self promote directly or via affiliates. Just because they get a handful of likes doesnt meant they are "critical" or helpful. Giving coupons could be considered "helpful" - but thats aso clearly self promotional. Xxxx The Mods of r/SEO
