    Hi everyone!
    I'm trying to market my services by answering questions on Yahoo!
    But I soon realized that I can answer only a limited number of question per day!
    Why is this limit? and how to get rid of it? or when will it be relaxed so that I can answer more questions?
    How can I know how many views my answers are getting?
    Also can I do anything to bring more traffic to those answers to point peoples attention towards them?

    I am in yahoo answer for 2 years.
    Let me explain the things here:
    there are levels determined by points which will allow you to post questions and answers.
    level 1: for beginning, you get 100 points, can answer 20 questions daily(usually will get 2 points per answer, but right now they are giving you 4 points as a promotion), you can also ask question, you will get -5 points for that (!), can ask 5 questions daily. If any of your answer is chosen as the best answer, you will get 10 points bonus.

    level 2: 250 points. You can only send click-able blue links (the links sent from level 1 are not click able blue links) from level 2. Once you reach 250 points, your account will automatically shifted to level 2.
    You can ans 40 questions and can ask 20 questions daily.

    You get more points you will reach more levels and will be able to answer more questions daily.
    If you want to know more, you can leave a pm to me.

    Yes,there are points and levels. And they have a December offer, that made it really easy for me to reach level 2 in just 2 days. Now can do almost twice of what I used do on Level 1. Hoping to get one or two clients from there..Wish me luck!:cool:

    If you are newbie in yahoo answers your answer per day is limited but if your level will up for example at level 4 or 5 perhaps you can answer questions with out limit. Indeed yahoo answers is a good source of traffic too.

    You need to build your reputation in Yahoo Answers. That's the key to be successful in using it for site promotion. Don't rush things. Participate on a daily basis and boost your points and levels.

    It is not that difficult. All you have to do is posting answers with your backlinks.
    Don't do: Only put backlink in a related answer which is under your niche, no spamming. Otherwise your account will be blocked.
    Yahoo Answer has millions of registered users. And many people search in yahoo answer to get the advices from the real people. So not only the asker of the question will click on your backlink in the answer but also many other people will click on the backlink in the answer- in this way, you will get traffic from yahoo answer.

    you need to participate regularly to level up and it will increase you limit of answering per day.read the rules fist. Violating yahoo rules will immediately result to suspension.

    you can't do anything about the limit.. Yahoo sets it and you should follow it.. If you really wanted to use answer sites then try looking for other like blurtit or aol ..

    Quality and relevant answers will help you generate good traffic.. make sure that your answers are relevant to the question and when you post your link that the asker will benefit from it and not just for the sake of posting your url..
