# Best solution for adding links in comments for affiliate marketing

After posting **100,000+ Reddit comments** for ourselves and clients, we’ve learned that adding links in affiliate marketing requires careful strategy to avoid removals.

#### 🚫 What *Not* to Do

* **Never add affiliate links directly** in your comments.
Reddit’s filters are highly sensitive to affiliate tracking links and will almost always remove your comment.

#### ✅ Safer Alternatives (Bridge Pages)

1. **Medium Articles**
    * Publish an article on **Medium** and link to that instead of your raw affiliate URL.
    * Medium is trusted by Reddit, rarely banned, and has a **very high stick rate**.

|| [Here's an example](https://medium.com/@nada.mo.shawky/6-best-ai-art-generators-right-now-i-tried-them-all-acc445c51427) of a Medium article

1. **Reddit Profile Posts**
    * Create a post on your own Reddit profile and place your affiliate/landing link there.
    * Then in your comment, just link to your profile post.
    * Since this is **Reddit’s own platform**, these links fly under the radar and usually have an excellent stick rate.

|| [Example](https://www.reddit.com/user/UpsetAdvert/comments/1miq1wx/crossbow_that_shoots_crazy_fast_and_stays_compact)** of a Reddit profile post**

1. **Claude (Landing Page Hosting)**
    * Host your landing page or content on **Claude**, which also has a good survival rate on Reddit.
    * Reddit’s filters tend to give less scrutiny to Claude links compared to regular brand or affiliate domains.

|| [Example](https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/34f6e2bb-b254-40a1-bfc0-7d2a5d68911a)** of a Claude page**

* Using a bridge page, you can drive readers from **Reddit → Medium/Reddit post/Claude article → Affiliate link safely.**

#### Pro Tips

* Write the Medium or Reddit profile post or Claude post like a helpful guide or review, not a sales pitch or AI-generated content. Reddit users prefer genuine content.
* If you absolutely must mention your domain in the comments, consider using a **non-clickable format** (e.g., `example.com`) so it bypasses filters. [Here's how](https://crowdreply.crisp.help/en/article/how-to-add-a-non-clickable-domain-link-in-a-comment-z03rdq) you can do it.

|| Summary: For affiliate marketing on Reddit, __never drop raw affiliate links in comments__. Instead, use a trusted bridge page like Medium or Claude or Reddit profile post to host your affiliate content as this dramatically increases your comment survival rate.
