View submission: [reddit change] Click events on Outbound Links
I'm pretty pumped to be able to build actual insight out of this. I think the biggest quick win will be in gauging user impact of spam — we'll know how many users clicked through on spam links

The other day I was looking for a stream of a political debate, using not terribly generic terms and two of the front page google results were reddit SEO spam linking to subreddits with spam css, it might also be worth checking those out(if possible), they're a pretty big part of how spam is starting to work here.

I suspect the answer will be a metric fuckton. It's inexplicable how much traffic obvious spam links manage to generate but I guess if it wasn't effective they wouldn't bother to spam in the first place.

Oh come on now just be honest about it. You are doing this for "sponsored" content to charge advertisers per click.
