What Target Rank means
Target Rank tells the order logic to support a position window instead of only delivering a fixed vote count. It is useful when you care about whether a post or comment stays visible in a rough range.
Rank is not an exact placement guarantee. Organic votes, downvotes, new posts, comment sorting, and Reddit's visible score changes can all move the target.
What Max Time Holding means
Max Time Holding limits how long the system should try to support the target range. Use it when a temporary visibility window matters more than long-term rank movement.
A shorter holding window can fit a launch, announcement, or time-sensitive discussion. Older or slower threads usually need conservative vote counts and slower delivery.
When to use rank targeting
Use rank targeting only after checking the live subreddit or thread. If the page is moving too quickly for your budget, a target rank order may not hold the position long enough to matter.
- Use a broad range when you want visibility, not one exact slot.
- Start with conservative vote counts.
- Review Order History and the live Reddit page after delivery.
- Avoid rank targeting on removed, locked, or unstable content.
