About byOG And Oleg G.
A 12-year Redditor who moderates seven communities and builds them for businesses. No tricks, no fake accounts.
Who Is Oleg G.?
I am a Redditor first and a consultant second. I joined in 2014 as u/dashosh, and the account is now 12 years old with 15,357 karma and 2,641 contributions. I have done SEO since 2015, mostly local SEO and content sites, which is how I ended up caring about Reddit: it is where Google now sends a lot of the traffic that used to go to blogs.
I do not run the agency from a distance. I moderate the communities, read the Insights dashboards and answer the threads myself. Everything I write on this site comes from that work.
Which Subreddits Do I Moderate?
Seven, from a 82,600-member barbecue community to one that is a few weeks old. These are the numbers from my own mod Insights, read in October 2026. Views are for the past 12 months unless noted.
| Subreddit | Members | Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| r/Smokingmeat | 82,600 | 1.5M views, 57k average monthly uniques |
| r/AISEOforBeginners | 8,300 | 221k views, 5.3k average monthly uniques |
| r/GoingToPeru | 3,500 | 876k views in the 12 months to September 2026 |
| r/OCryptoCanada | 3,100 | 245k views, 8.1k average monthly uniques |
| r/galapagostourism | 1,300 | 214k views, 5.5k average monthly uniques |
| r/TravelEcuador | 1,100 | 147k views, 3.8k average monthly uniques |
| r/YouTubeAIAutomation | Newest | Too young to have a year of data |
Three of them (r/GoingToPeru, r/TravelEcuador and r/galapagostourism) support travel businesses I own. I say so in each sidebar. The full growth story is in How To Grow A Subreddit.
What Does byOG Do?
byOG builds and moderates subreddits for businesses, runs a disclosed brand account in a few relevant communities, tracks whether AI answers cite those threads, and can build custom Devvit apps. The what I do section on the homepage has the details and the pricing section has the price.
What Are My White-Hat Rules?
- The brand account says who it is. No fake customers, no invented stories.
- One real account. No secondary accounts, sockpuppets, bought upvotes or karma farming.
- Rules first. I read each community's rules and talk to moderators before anything promotional.
- Public criticism stays public. I do not bury reviews.
The full list is under what I never do on the homepage, and Reddit Self-Promotion Rules covers the rules themselves.
