Tracking Organic Reddit Traffic Without UTM Parameters
How do you track traffic from organic Reddit engagement (comments/replies) without UTM parameters? I'm trying to figure out the best way to measure traffic attribution from organic Reddit activity. By organic, I mean genuinely helpful comments and replies where we naturally mention our product when it's relevant and adds value to the discussion. We already have GA4 set up and track our paid Reddit ads with UTM parameters just fine. But for organic engagement, we obviously can't use UTM links in comments without looking spammy or breaking subreddit rules. What we're currently doing:
Commenting helpfully on relevant threads
Mentioning our product naturally when it genuinely solves OP's problem
Following all subreddit rules and reddiquette
Questions:
How are others handling attribution for organic social media efforts like this?
Are there GA4 configurations or other analytics approaches that work well?
Any creative solutions for connecting the dots between specific Reddit comments and website visits?
Thanks for any insights!
