I am going to tell you one thing for sure. I know reddit can be useful for driving traffic to the website and sometimes have positive results. The one big disadvantage of it though is that is where the tough crowds are at. A person would have to be pretty good just to please them.

When writing your articles, make sure they relate to the reddit section your adding your links to. Otherwise, you get a ton of downvotes. Also, they frown on stuff that highly criticizes their topics that does not have some proof to back it up.

If it is role playing games that are not on a computer, those guys can be pretty tough as well as they take everything you state and look in their player's handbook or whatever rulebook they are using and see if it plays out correctly with the roll of the dice.

Reddit has been the biggest challenge for my yet and I will tell you that zelda fans and guild wars fans are the toughest to please. I am pretty sure they are wonderful people in real life, but they do have high expectations in the gaming area. Dungeons and dragons players tough, but they are good crowd because they tend to give me more than one shot to give them valid information.

If it is outside the gaming area, I don't know. I only tried that once and I got pretty much 0 feedback and no votes at all (neither down nor up). I can't really give much ideas on that one.

That is just my two cents on the topic. Or as a dungeon master once told me in the dnd reddit discussions, that is just my two copper pieces on the subject.
