Is back linking through reddit a bad thing?

Reddit is no follow. It won't give you search engine ranking. But you can get a lot of traffic from reddit itself with an interesting title.

I experimented a little and I found that it also depends on when you post the link. You better post when it is evening in USA. You can get 1 million views from reddit.

Noone will penalize you for getting views from a link. And I don't think Reddit is likely to ban you or something like that for putting hubs links there. Sometimes I delete my older links and put them back under a better title and at a better time.

I get like 100 views immediately.

It may not have a strong value as a back link, but reddit is definitely capable of bringing some traffic to your articles.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
