I was browsing through Reddit just now, reading through the comments posted for an interesting pics submission of a crazy, huge, monster of a house cat (I was linking to it but it’s now 404) on some Russian website. I don’t frequent Reddit as much as I used to but in the comments section people are dropping followed links with anchor text! This seems unbelievable to me that Reddit wouldn’t attempt to police this. I also looked for a no index, no follow in the page code…nothing there. I thought then that maybe Reddit had their comments section blocked via a robots.txt so I Googled the URL of the comments section and it’s definitely indexed.

So if you’re one of the first few to comment on a story that goes popular, drop a link in there and grab some of that traffic.
