I was wondering whether bakclinks from Yahoo! Answers would be credited high by Google? Better then from forums? Or it is pointless? Pages on Yahoo! Answers have 0 PR.
I have a couple sites that only have links from Y! answers. Waiting for a PR udpate before I see how it effects it. Interesting though, getting links from Y! answers does get your site indexed relatively quickly.
JeremyL, Could you,please, go into detail about nofollow tag? Will I get no links at all? Yahoo did link me to Yahoo! answers, however, only once yet. As my site is about 1 month old - we'll see what happens...
Voasi, Glad to hear that. Please, keep me updated with how things are going with backlinks from Y! answers.
I haven't seen any benefit from my use of Yahoo Answers over the last couple of months. I doubt that Google places much credibility on the largely immature and goofy questions/answers on the site.
I think such links cannot do much to the advantage of the wbesites listed, especially if they have the NoFollow attribute. The point is that people are just interested in adding links everywhere they can.
