It's amazing how bad it is now with SEO-optimisation. Most people (myself included) put "reddit" into the search query to clean things up in the hopes that we'll get something other than an ad-serve/affiliate-sales-linked website, but this really opens you up to being exposed to astro-turfing.

Edit: Really interested to hear if other people have better ideas than this.

If you're actually interested in results from Reddit, you should put in site:reddit.com. Otherwise, you're just encouraging/rewarding sites that use that term for their SEO spam.

Sure, I do ignore those sites but this is a good way of doing it.
