What is your opinion on Yahoo! Answers?

    Yahoo has been on the losing end when it comes to its search engine as Google is grabbing all the attention, traffic and the loyalty of its users. But Yahoo does have some rather interesting products to offer to its users and Yahoo answers, is something that most users seem to love. It is the one place that literally has all the answers to your questions. Not only are the questions on areas that bother you too sometime, the answers are quite prompt, accurate and to the point too. People generally have a great opinion about Yahoo answers. What about you?

    Yahoo Answers is beneficial in providing large amounts of targeted traffic to sites from each answer. Yahoo Answers is a great way to promote and advertise your site. Over 90 Million people use Yahoo Answers and thousands of people are guaranteed to see the answers provided. The majority of answers also become cataloged in important search engines such as Google and Yahoo.

    It's a terrific resource. Especially for online beginners. But this forum is better... more marketers with heaps of knowledge.

    Yahoo Answer is one of the good way to get backlinks.
    But I just had a little problem here they banned accounts
    even you post an informative and not spammy comments.
    So I just stop participating in this community and look for
    another.

    As a user I often find the "Best Answer - Chosen by Voters" is far from the best answer. Overall you have to take it with a pinch of salt.
    back links are no-follow so its only good for direct traffic unless I'm mistaken?

    Yep, YA is good if your site has good content. Or else they just come and leave.

    There is a lot of spam there but it's a pretty decent resource and it's a good way to get your links added once in a while (as long as it's a natural and not spammy link, of course).

    Yahoo Answers is a bit spammy right now and there were certain changes in terms of moving into levels. But all in all it is still yahoo answers I trust when searching for good comments online.

    Generally beneficial but not without its flaws, such as questions being deleted after a certain time.

    Yes, I have tried before to get some targeted traffic from Yahoo! Answers but without so much luck. I think the main problem here is they don't maintain most answers and questions. There are many exactly the same questions in their database.
