Yahoo Answers is a good source of traffic and backlinks but you should do it in a right way to avoid spam.
i dont help on yahoo, but when you ask a question into google, chances are, it will list some yahoo answer results... so i belive alot of people do use it.
First thing if you have any doubt or query then by making discussions, you can get the best solution for it. And other thing is that through being helpful in providing best solution to others, you can build strong business profile and can attract more people to you for the best answer. This way through yahoo answers you can get more traffic to you and then to your site and can get popularity.
I think so too Yahoo Answers is a good source of traffic and backlinks but you should do it in a right way, Don't Spam
It can provide any answer instantly ,and reliable answer.This is the strong feature that I like most. More over it can act as a good source of traffic, better for back-links. Actually it is my first aid doctor for searching any question.
It is good to get traffic to your site. I don't think Google gives much weightage these days to the links from that site.
the main benefit of using yahoo answer are 1.target marketing 2.generates more traffic to your website 3.prevent spamming
I use Yahoo! answers strictly for direct traffic and nothing more. And I find answering questions and not being at least a level 2 is pointless because if your a level 2 then your links to your website or whatever your promoting will be clickable.
Never used Yahoo! answers before but might give it a try soon. How much traffic do you guys get out of it daily? XX, XXX or even more?
It can provide a nice amount of visitors and exposure to your site/s but you have to be careful with what you post if it looks like you are spamming they will delete your account but if you do it in a very subtle way you wont have any problems.
