Can Yahoo groups give traffic to your websites?

[nick2007]

I started to add my site link at different yahoo groups. It's no spam because i put my link into groups that are relatives to my website.
Will it bring any traffic or i'm wasting my time off?

[Gallito]

Of course it can bring traffic, I will just warn you that the results of this will be quite disappointing. The only people that successfully make a good amount of money from groups are spammers that run bots to scour the groups.

Posting your link in groups without actually adding to the discussion is also spam by my definition anyway.

i think sending mails to group with your link as signature can give some traffic. if you post in groups of same niche then you can get targeted traffic also.

[lostsunny]

I guess getting in to meaningful conversations and using the signature will work. But that will be a long processs..

Why not write Guest Posts on other sites ? or try Blog Commenting (again meaningful ones)

[starangel]

It should provide some traffic if it is relevant to your niche.

umm i think social networking like friendster, myspace and facebook can drive traffic effectively :)

If you join a group, there is an area for links that you can add your url with keywords to. I have never seen a nofollow to the links on these pages, but also have never seen any PR.

Your best bet is post relevant articles to the groups and then, instead of posting the entire article, start posting relevant links to relevant articles on popular groups. That can bring nice traffic and not piss off the administrators that much. Nobody likes spam, so put on your gray hat and hope for a glare.

Sure they can but I don't know if the quality will be very good. It might be worth testing out some though... Good luck

[lifeplayer]

Yes, it definately will bring traffic just depend how many traffic only.
Try to post some quality information, it will helps to drive traffic better

Yahoo group never give a Organic traffic to your site.

[RightMan]

It depends on how active the group is and how well the poster is admired by other members....

Members are anyway limited and does not give vast visibility as compared to other social forums.

i have my own group on yahoo and have 8478 members on it but i'm just receiving 2 or 3 users from my group daily ...

[seocipl]

yeah,
It's really helpful to increase website traffic.

[Journey]

Yes, it may bring traffic but its conversion is quite low

really poor conversion. just post your links at groups at right optimised place. sure you will get the enough traffic. try adding some colored banners too.

I think the only way a Yahoo Group can send quality traffic is if you become a respected member of that group (participate in other conversations a lot, help other people). Just by having a link in your signature will probably be useless.

[bobchrist]

Yep, I think you should establish reputation and trust first by contributing to the group on regular basis and also diversify your efforts towards Yahoo Answers.

If you have proxy then it can bring a lot of traffic...

[teo123]

Yes, they can bring you traffic.

[tazzmania89]

depending on how big the yahoo group is, the bigger it is the more traffic you will receive

what do you mean? Will you need proxy to use Yahoo Groups?

[narci]

yes of course. Ill use them for a while now.

[Ilkin]

It certainly gives.
Espesially thematic ones

[sheetal2009]

Not much traffic you get from it.

[Ruriko]

Not much it gave me very little traffic as most of the people are inactive

[nkowl]

It seems that it is decided by how many users use yahoo groups, and how many visitors read the article...

I completely agree with you. Yahoo groups can give you traffic but it comes from spamming.

lols, i agree spamming spree from yahoo groups:D, dont bet on it for any good clicks

[mrichards1984]

Depends on the niche like adult, warez, proxy sites generate more traffic. Also depends on how active the group members are. Which niche your site belongs to by the way?

[zonehitz]

i think all social networking can bring traffic.If we put it to true target

[theAdviserMe]

If you have proxy then it can bring a lot of traffic...
