Hi, Guys, I wanna know that if Yahoo Answers Give backlinks to those links which are used is answers as reference etc. Do Yahoo Answers Help us to increase our SEO Position, Backlinks or Google PageRank ? Thanks!
Yahoo Answers allows for links for users above Level 2, those backlinks are nofollow, which means they don't transfer any 'juice' to whatever site is linked. However these backlinks are followed by search engine spiders but your rank won't be effected. I'm sure there will be someone saying 'even anchor text links on nofollow carry some weight,' sure, but not very much. Yahoo Answers, IMHO, is great for getting natural visitors who are truly interested in your site, because you gave a good answer, or the link is directly relevant to whatever question you are answering.
You wont get a backlink but your answer can rank high in Google and you can get traffic that way. It's still worth doing.
although they happen to be all nofollow links these days they can be a good additional source of traffic to your website if you can identify questions related to your site's content and provide usefull answers. you may be confused why you see them then on your google analytics account if they are nofollow but google analytics also registers nofollow links.
I agree with everyone above. If you make a yahoo answer about your site...it will shoot to the top of the SERPS for a week or so before fading. Link isn't do follow, but can prove to provide consistent traffic.
yahoo answer is no follow but many times they provide you back links but those are not of use so dont trust yahoo back links
Yeah. If you are a level two user you can get live link via yahoo answers. But pity they are no follow.
You get backlinks at Level 2 but these links are no follow so no point wasting your time. Stick to the old ways of blogs and directories etc.
Accordring to what I have read they have a nofollow tag. But form what I have see there are times a yhaoo answer shows up as a back link on Google and Yahoo.
