How To Prevent Being Flagged as Spam on Yahoo Answers?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm currently answering questions on yahoo answers and one of my answers was marked as spam even if it was unique and helpful.

    I always change my responses and I always provide good information. A lot of my answers have been chosen as best and I don't want this to happen again... Can you guys help me?

    Did you enter a link in the answer? If so, you need to be a lot craftier in posting your links there. It's just trial and error.

    Yes I did, but what do you mean by crafty? I've seen people blatantly posting bit.ly spam posts and they don't get penalized... I don't get it...

    If someone says for example 'where can I buy good xbox games'.. don't just put a link to your site (If for example this is what you business you are in) say something like 'I get all mine from **** and have never found a problem with them, they deliver pretty quick too... make it sound like you are a client of the site not the owner... I have not had any of mine classed as spam

    Linking on yahoo answers is mostly and often considered as spam. Before you post a link next time, write a useful answer and then give a relevant link to the question asked.

    Honestly, the best place to add URL's in Yahoo Answers are in the relevant link section.
