I completely agree that leaving kudos on a fic you read through is the way to go.
I'm sometimes bad about it as I almost always download fics to read on my phone or pad, and that means I have to be super-organised a) to remember what I recently read and b) to locate it again on AO3 or wherever and leave kudos &/or a comment. It's even worse with podfic, where the lag between downloading and listening is often a lot longer, so podficcers have to be philosophical about that and learn to treasure all comments. The problem's a technical one with iphones, ipads and the safari browser (which you can't usurp to have another preferred browser), as the link saying "drop by the Archive and comment" at the end of a downloaded fic does take you back to the AO3 page for the fic - but you're not logged in as you, and the Archive won't accept a guest kudos filtered through Kindle (also, guest kudoses are OK but not as satisfying for an author, IMO). So you have to laboriously log in (and the interface via Kindle means your phone won't 'remember' your login details either, so it's all by hand). What with all that, I don't always manage it. /o\
