Yahoo! Answers Posting tips

    I had an account that was up to level 3 before being banned. In the past weeks, I have had 2 more accounts banned. I think that it's a competitor just flagging me. I am careful now to only put 1 link and only answer specific questions in my niche and I also give personal answers and not templates. Now all of sudden I am flagged left and right.

    Any suggestions on how to post without getting banned/flagged?

    Yahoo answers marketing still working? I left it as it was too much time consuming and I now focus on social marketing side. Seeing great results from it.

    I can give you one tip i.e if you have limit of 40 answers then do only 25 answers,if you exceed more then the answers could be deleted!

    You need to count in that competitors will flag you often without any real reason... that's the part of the game I would say...

    Their policy is not transparent and mostly you have no chance to argue.
    I lost my digg.com's account yesterday i guess the reason is i left too many comments and submissions yesterday (about 15 comments and 10 submissions within 2 hours). All of a sudden my works were all gone and account was banned.

    I got banned several times and I had legitimate well thought out answers. Even scored best answers.

    When talking about weight loss there are a lot of spammers there so I decided instead of posting a link to my blog I instead created some ehow articles that are high rated. I now point to my ehow articles in hopes of getting cross traffic. I haven't been banned yet and I'm almost level 3 with 12 best answers. Only work around I've found yet that doesn't get me banned.
