    Not a chance somebody pays a 100bucks for that...if they know about asking for ?'s on google---I would guess they would know how to use it as well...

    that said---a few years ago I worked as a manager in a cell-center setting (off shore)
    and some of the questions were so dumb that the people who spoke English as their 2nd language needed help- as they figured there was no way somebody could ask such a question.

    I think it must take some time to reflect in google search... how much time it takes google to crawl its own answers site? any idea?

    I last heard this idea around the begining of 2003 and thought it had died a natural death. I just checked the robots.txt as I did then and it hasn't changed...

    I typed a question related to my site. One of the comments had my site's url in it! However, this has never shown up as a backlink or has it brought in any visitors, much less helped me in the serps.

    This looks like another Google myth

    my site is pretty new... I thought to test this and put a comment with site link... and I could see the google search result for "carmenelectra.cjb" text as

    Google Answers: Celebrities who Dance to stay in shape
    ... For Carmen Electra pics and DVDs about Aerobics' lessons, check this out
    http://carmenelectra.cjb.net Regards, Maverick ...

    :(

    If I search by only "carmenelectra" I might see it somewhere, but there are 1000s of sites with that text ahead of me so prolly I would not take those many efforts to browse thru all. Any way to find that out easily?

    Crazy Rob,

    Why do you say that? I have submitted answers to try to help people and have had transactions and business because of it. I wouldn't say it doesn't work, not by a long shot. Is it great, no, but it does work. Maybe not for the SE's, but for business...

    Whether or not the backlinks help, or the content helps SERP, it's a nice place to troll for new business... :) I just found a couple questions where I could post comments that are related to my business. Thanks for the pointer...

    I'm speaking to the SEO and PR benefits.

    Fair enough, but then I think the jury is still out on that. It could take some time and almost all their pages get crawled an indexed. We'll have to wait and see ;)
