    No, links from Yahoo Answers are nofollow.

    Not worth your time at all as all links are no-follow, so you don't actually get backlinks. Yahoo Answers is only helpful for gaining very targeted hits to your website.

    I receive traffic from Yahoo, but my website is 6 years old. So if you are in it for the long haul it is worth the time and effort...

    It is really beneficial even it is nofollow. If you want to create a great Reputation in Yahoo then Flicker and Yahoo answer is the best way.

    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.

    I think it all depends on your costs / time, how much effort do you put in... if you are working 3 hours a day on your site I think it worth 20 minutes each day.
    It is a mixt of backlinks (no-followed but still helpful), branding (what is pretty difficult to express in numbers) and targeted hits.

    It depends, although it's nofollow, I think it's worth.

    Even though it is no follow, i think it is beneficial and worth a try for those who haven't used it.

    Yes, it's worth my time because it's good to help other members solve their questions while increasing your level (earn good reputation). Plus you can also promote your site if the question is relevant to your website's niche.

    Ya, and the best way to do it - is to help people and if its a game-related question - like if you're involved with games, then you'd place a simple text link to your site, but it doesn't hyperlink.

    If you are using it to get backlinks then no, but it can bring in some traffic for your web site.
