I have a whole bunch of content on just one site that I want to promote, but I don't want to spam. I've posted a few of the links here at HN, but I don't want to wear out my welcome.
Sometimes I can find good places to post my links by using web search, but it's quite a lot of time and effort. There's no real way to know ahead of time how many clicks I'll get, or whether I'll get any backlinks. I've had lots of clicks from comments posted to what I thought were really obscure, low-traffic sites, I expect because the people who frequent those sites, like to click links more than, say, Reddit or Facebook users.
