Do you ever submit articles about SEO or making money online to mainstream websites like Reddit?

Actually I used to use reddit but not using anymore now. I would use with cautions. Don't see much improvement when using them that's why not using much.

If you try to submit articles like that Reddit automatically filters them and won't publish the. I have had articles bounced that were just leading to my blogs.

Before I used to think that articles like SEO, how to make money online etc are the best contents to submit. But after I realize that these spamy, ugly things can't help you much. Now I submit articles in any of my own subject on Hub pages only.

Before I used to submit on Blogger, Wordpress etc. Now I only use Hub pages. Its really helpful to my progress.

My knowledge on SEO is fairly limited although I plan on trying to teach myself more. Do you know anywhere that would be a good start? Perhaps somewhere that can explain the basics?

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.
