Once you have created an account, you can start to submit your URLs to Reddit. To submit a URL, go to the homepage and click on the Submit a link button. In the submission page, you will be prompted to fill in the title, and URL. First, you should enter the full URL of the page you want to submit for example, http://www.domain.com/abcd.html.

If you want to submit another URL, you will have to wait for 9 minutes. Reddit implement this delayed system to prevent user from submitting too many URL in a short time. Initially, Reddit allowed its user to submit as many URLs as they want. Due to the overwhelming spam, Reddit decided to put a limit to the number of URLs which they can submit. Though Reddit allows you to post a different URL every 10 minutes, you should not take advantage by keep submitting the URLs. If you submit too many URLs, the moderator will notice you and banned your account. In severe case, Reddit will ban your IP address so that you can no longer access the site.
