In episode #2634, We discuss how Reddit’s organic traffic increased from 69 million to 200 million visits per month. They attribute this growth to Reddit’s user-generated content (UGC) and its voting system, which helps curate and showcase valuable content. Google’s emphasis on firsthand experience and expertise also plays a role in Reddit’s success. We suggest that content creators focus on experience, expertise, authority, and trust (EAT) to improve their rankings, as AI-generated content lacks these qualities. We also encourage marketers to think creatively and explore ways to demonstrate double EAT.
