Hey, BHW!

I'm out here with another question that might seem stupid.

I've been searching for an answer on Google about this one and I've found lots of answers but everyone seems to be dodging the question "So, are these d0follow?" so I'm going to ask you, guys.

I have links posted on Reddit to my website and to multiple websites, all indexed in Google but for now none appearing in GSC. (I wouldn't even expect that in one - two weeks)

Now, my questions:

It doesn't matter if my comments have 1 upvote or 300 upvotes (this is the highest one) every link has "rel="noopener noreferrer" to it. I've never seen one of my links have "nofollow" (I've seen links from others have "nofollow" but not mine)

Comment with my link in it that has 1 Upvote:
uTZhGBT


Comment with my link in it that has 3 Upvotes:
uUGbmxy


Comment with my link in it that has 300 Upvotes: (This link was not to my website but to Imgur, still, it's a link)
qDvvU5E


Every link has "rel="noopener noreferrer" but none "nofollow".

Links were posted from one account that's 8 months old and 100 karma and one account that's 3 years old and 10k karma.

Am I getting something wrong here? Do the links have to be in posts instead of comments?

Thank you!
 
you need to use the old reddit version to check.
I did as you said and this is the outcome:

On my secondary account:

(1 upvote)
dT2tAT5

(1 upvote)
4plEiTi


Apparently every link I've ever posted on my secondary acc is nofollow.

On my account:

(1 upvote)
Ry9wuSk

(2 upvotes)
vKolbb7

(3 upvotes)
W73Atgw

(300 upvotes)

I guess any link I post on my main is d0follow, no matter the upvotes. (seems like, unless I miss something?)​
 
Checking the links with the old Reddit is pointless as G doesn’t see that version. After the Redesign, all links submitted to subreddits are dof0llow. But G is being smart with it, especially now when Reddit is being spammed. All links are ********, but some have more weight while others can be deindexed.

Just looking at the pictures, do you mean on your secondary accounts links are nofollow. But on your main account, I do not see the nofollow tag there?

Yeah what u said could be true.
 
There is a way to have better success on reddit with link power. I have a full walk through hope that helps you.

Well that’s kind of what I have in mind.
 
That's really curious. I thought Reddit links are mostl nofoll0wed. That account might be a goldmine.

Haha I don’t think so, I’m not that lucky.

Most probably the links don’t matter at all or something, there must be an explanation on why anything I post on my main account appears d0follow when checking in HTML but on other account it doesn’t.
