    Redditors really had no need to google it.

Yes. We had one reddit influx a while ago was due to a mention of "hubski" without a link in a top comment on a top askhubski post.

The influx was remarkably smaller than any others that we have had, even though the visibility of the post and comment was higher than most (if not all) of the links we have had on reddit.

However, traffic we got from google searches for hubski was insane whereas when people link, the user comes directly from reddit and the number of people who show up is so much higher.
