@rukshn Thanks for your post. Personally I'm not convinced by the idea of adding site:reddit.com to your Google search query either, not just because it will get gamed by SEO practitioners as you suggest, but also because there's a lot more to the internet than reddit and a lot of great content hidden away which isn't on reddit. I also believe that a more general solution to better search is both to reward informational sites and also to penalise advertising sites - that's why I built a search engine with a PageRank-style algorthim which also detects result pages containing adverts and heavily downranks them.

Sure, there are still single-topic forums that are much better for those subjects than Reddit, you just have to know about them.
