    yea they are no follow, but it is a decent way to generate some traffic. It is a little time consuming, but while doing you can actually learn quite a bit so it keeps it interesting.

    Tip: generate even more traffic by creating two accounts and answering your own questions with good answers and a link to your site. (but dont be too obvious about it)

    Yahoo Answers takes far too much time in my opinion, I prefer DP forums

    Avoid spamming them because they WILL deactivate your account.
    seriously.

    Yahoo! answers are nofollow, if they see it as spamming, your site will be banned from Yahoo! Search Engine also and your Yahoo! Answers account will be disabled !

    It means they add nothing to sites rank in search engine. They give no page rank for being on the site.

    They are no follow however, I believe it does help with indexing from Yahoo.

    I agree with you.Recently, i have just posted several questions in yahoo answers and they then appear in google search , i do think this will help you to generalize your website.

    With nofollow attributes, you hardly enjoy any PR juice/link juice from them.

    if you wont get your site banned, they will block your answers that contain your domain name, so you wont be able to post it there
    dont spam the site, use nice answers

    That would defeat the purpose of nofollow.
