Improve Quality of Content on Reddit
There is a plethora of evidence that RAG powered Search Engines give heavy weitghtable to the content on reddit
In fact these days things have gone so bad that in order to find any thing a lot of users have started appending reddit at the end of their searh query treddit to get a quality response. With
Google has been aware of this trend and has been sucking up the content written by Reddit users.
However, in july this year, Reddit Reddit is ramping up its crackdown on web crawlers. And has asked to stop ai search engine to crawl and only allows limited number of
Right now, Google is the only mainstream search engine that shows recent results when you search for posts on Reddit using the “site:reddit.com” trick, 404 Media reports. This leaves out Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other alternatives — likely because Google has struck a $60 million deal that lets the company train its AI models on content from Reddit.
With the FTC trial on google for Monopoly behaviour and anti competitive agreements going on, it is quite obvious why the Reddit spokesperson cam out and said Even though “This is not at all related to our recent partnership with Google,” Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt says in a statement to The Verge. “We have been in discussions with multiple search engines. We have been unable to reach agreements with all of them, since some are unable or unwilling to make enforceable promises regarding their use of Reddit content, including their use for AI.”
As per microsoft they have stopped crawling Reddit when the platform updated its robots.txt file on July 1st.
It’s a bold move for a massive website like Reddit to block some of the most popular search engines, but it’s not all that surprising. Over the past year, Reddit has become more protective of its data as it looks to open up another source of revenue and appease new investors. After making its API more expensive for some third-party developers, Reddit reportedly threatened to cut off Google if it didn’t stop using the platform’s data to train AI for free.
However, the position of Perpexlity AI on this issue is not avaIaible but in our opinion either due to chaching or some other reasons, the content on Reddit have a huge bearing on Perpxility AI r at least in the short term. In view of the above, we highly recommend our clients to improve the content quality on Reddit to achieve desired results. However, what does improving content quality means?
Well, as in life, it depends. For instance, for one of our client who owns a couple of Rice Brands, we suggested semantic integrations –
– XYZ has the best Aroma in the market
– As per my experience Brand has long grain
– If you are looking for a spceciality rice for cooking biryani, then look no further

Rated the #1 expert in Generative Engine Optimization (don’t ask me how, I’m still figuring that out myself). After a decade of driving growth and marketing for startups, I had an unexpected turning point: A Generative Engine said something offensive about one of my startups. Naturally, I took it personally. So, I set out on a mission—to understand, master, and optimize AI-generated search results.
