Want your comment to show up first in the comment section of a popular thread?
Here’s the thing: The top comment in a Reddit thread gets 10x more visibility than the 5th one. And way more than anything buried below.
So if you’re using Reddit for marketing, getting that top spot matters. A lot.
In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to use REDAccs upvote service to outrank existing comments and claim that #1 position.
Let’s dive in.
Why Comment Ranking Matters
Reddit sorts comments by upvotes.
More upvotes = higher position = more traffic on your link or message. It’s that simple.
But old comments are already ranking. They’ve been getting upvotes before you even showed up.
That’s where strategic upvoting comes in.
Thread Age vs Upvote Strategy
Safe upvote rate and recommended wait time before starting
Two rules for old threads: Wait before starting (blue line), then drip-feed slowly (orange line). Both matter for safety.
How Many Upvotes to Rank #1?
Check the current top comment’s upvote count. To outrank it, aim for ~25% more upvotes. For example, if the #1 comment has 20 upvotes, you generally need around 25 upvotes to take the top spot.
⚠️ Quality matters more than quantity
You can outrank a 20-upvote comment with 25 high-quality upvotes. But you cannot do it with 50+ cheap, low-quality upvotes-Reddit’s algorithm detects and discounts them.
How to Rank Your Comment on Reddit (Step-by-Step)
How to copy Comment URL: You can either click at the Share button under the comment, or right-click on the date of it and copy the link as shown below.
If you write the comments yourself
- Write the comment in a targeted thread by yourself.
- Go to our Buy Upvotes page and enter the Comment URL.
- Choose drip-feed upvote speed if the thread is more than 3 days old. Otherwise, use normal speed.
- Set the schedule to wait for 7 days of the thread is more than 3 days old. Otherwise, leave it.
- You are set!
If REDaccs writes the comments for you
- Use our Reddit Comments service.
- Choose “Boost this comment ranking” below the comment editor.
- Upvote Speed: The system will give you a recommended setting for the target thread, but you an also select your delivery speed. Normal (5 votes/min) works great for most situations. It’s fast enough to build momentum, but natural enough to stay under the radar.
- Amount: You can order up to 800 upvotes per comment. But here’s my advice: start with what makes sense for the subreddit. A comment with 50 upvotes in a small community looks natural. That same post with 500? Suspicious.
- Schedule upvotes: The system will auto set this for you. You generally want to wait for your comments to age at least 5+ days if your thread is more than 7 days old.
Pro Tips for Better Results
- Don’t over-boost small subreddits. A post with 200 upvotes in a subreddit where top posts get 50? That’s a red flag.
- Use delays strategically. Random delays between 10-30 minutes can make the pattern look more organic.
- Match the normal speed for most orders. Unless you need an urgent push, steady delivery wins.
