How does this spammer benefit by creating a subreddit and loading it up with links to his spam site?
Search Engine Optimization – So by flooding his sub with links to his spam site, I may come across it somehow when I use google to search for something?
I want to see this in action. Show me how searching for something gives me a link to this spammer’s website.

In theory, Google sees that Reddit is linking to that website a lot and assumes it must be a really useful website (like Wikipedia or YouTube).
Sure, they could make their *own* website and spam links on their own website, but Google wouldn’t count those links for very much because it knows that their website isn’t a useful one. Google treats links as more important if they’re on a more important website.
