I am a regular user of yahoo answers. I often leave my site's link in the source box. I want to know if it has the do follow feature and do the links hold any value for the search engines?
with the links I set up, as far as I've seen they are do follow and hold value in search engine for the keywords because it's from yahoo, trusted source
Please note that the links are NoFollow. You can get some traffic & the benefit of the No-Follow links as-well.
Of course, it will pull traffic. If you give correct and specific answer and got better positions on that thread peoples may visit your site to find details.
Yahoo answers links are definitely no follow. You can get great traffic from the links though. On one of the yahoo answers that I posted, I referenced the link and now that site gets a majority of its traffic from there. As long as the link is relevant to the topic then you should see something.
It won't have any impact on your SEO, but it can still drag some targeted visitors to your site with clicks.
Yes , people searching in those answers will be really tempted to go to your link , when you have stated it as your source.
