4. How
does it work?
What do reddit ads
look like?
See that orange border?
That’s highlighting what a
reddit ad looks like when it’s
live on reddit.com. You can
identify a reddit ad by its
light blue background, and
“sponsored link” label on the
bottom- right of the ad.
Where will my ad appear
on a reddit page?
reddit ads rotate at the top of
any reddit page above the #1
post, regardless of the up-
votes and down-votes it
receives. This premium
location allows for
guaranteed
ad awareness.

“ Ads aren't bad in themselves. It's just the attitude. We all have to go to the store, we all
have to have groceries, but there's a way to sell you things to make the exchange more of a
human one. “ - Bill Murray AMA (Jan. 2014)
