Yahoo Answers is the knowledge sharing Q&A based social network with over 90 million users worldwide with around 18 million users in the United States. Becoming the pinnacle Social Media offering online because of its ease of use and community feel, Yahoo Answers is a vibrant web neighborhood of information sharing and a fresh alternative to traditional web search. Internet marketers and web publishers who want to position themselves as experts in their respected industries should begin to take notice, as Yahoo Answers has developed an incredible outlet to do so. By utilizing the categories in Yahoo Answers, a site owner can use the content and knowledge available via their site or research to actively answer questions which are being asked within Yahoo Answers and not only will such participation build that expert recognition, but also possible traffic, links and sales. Each Yahoo Answers form comes with a section for listing web sites as references to the answer. These direct links do include a NoFollow attribute, which makes it more difficult for search engines to use those links as part of their link popularity ranking algorithms, but that does not stop people from following these links. In fact, these links are shown to result in referring traffic to the sites of those users who answer with in depth and accurate answers. And if an answer is chosen or starred as a quality answer by the Yahoo Answers community, this may show Yahoo Search that the site referenced is a quality and resourceful site, marking it as an authority and helping its Yahoo ranking.
I think that using Yahoo Answers for Marketing is a complete waste of time!. Think about it, you have to answer questions all day just to get a few people into your Website when you can use that time for other methods that are way more effective!. Whoever does Yahoo Answers have too much time in their hands or doesn't know much about Internet Marketing!.
You'll get traffic from there but not much. But the best part of Yahoo Answer is you'll be able to get targeted traffic which is very good for affiliate marketing. BTW I do provide Yahoo Answer Posting Service. Look at my sig and i-trader for my service's feedback Here's my thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1531332
I use it daily....I have 3 accounts now that I rotate....just do not SPAM and the accounts will last a while before they are banned....GREAT source of targeted traffic
Yahoo answers is always ranked high on google which is a good thing. Other great answer sites you can use are yedda.com, askville.com, answers.com and answerbag.com. All have great PR so using them is a great way to build up backlinks and get traffic.
Hey guys, For the members whom are level 2 and up, is there a way to add anchor text to links in yahoo answers? Thanks
hi, we should reach 2nd level to get disply your link but if you want more traffic then you need to answer for lot of questions by opening Multiple accounts.you dont need to reach 2nd level .people use direct link so you get more traffic.the only thing is that you should post lot of answers then gives you better conversion ..i also advise dont depend on yahoo answers..try other sources ..each bits adds up ! regards!
if you neatly leave your answer and work towards a high level then yes yahoo answers is good. Just dont be a spammer or a idiot wasting time. Work on helping peoples answer from the heart and not greed then its a win win situation for the person asking the question and you. peace.
I realize that Yahoo Answer has "nofollow" on the links. In terms of link building, it does not help at all. Unless it can bring some traffics, otherwise it is not useful at all. Does anyone know if there are any "Answer" sites which are DOFOLLOW?
