Do you usually use Yahoo Answers! to promote your products or sevice?

A friend suggent me to use Yahoo Answers! to promote my software, just show the name of the products or the links of the website is OK. That sounds easy. Have you ever use it? What is the result?

 

Some people use this as means to get linked back to your site which has the product offered.

 

Yeah, I also started to do this. But I don't it is a good way to do. It indeed bring some traffic for our website, but it has bad effect for our figure.

 

Yahoo answer is used to be a good way to build up both links and traffics. However, please be noted that Yahoo Answer put much more restrict lately due to Spam attempt by webmasters around the globe. Your account would be easily to be banned just one report about your answer. Weird

 

yes. been using yahoo answers for almost a year. it really gives great traffic. especially if you also have yahoo group

 

No ,Recently I m not using Yahoo answers.

 

the links are no follow though right? So the traffic is just direct for the most part

 

I've received some decent traffic from Yahoo Answers and I'm sure that at least a few of my conversions have come from that traffic. It's definitely not going to work as your sole source of traffic however and it's not real valuable for backlinks anymore like it used to be.

 

Too much effort for almost nothing, so no, I don't use it but I've tried it.

 

you will be slapped hard if you try to manipulate yahoo answers. get on it slow and let the traffic take care of itself.

 

I agree with you. I have tried it. When I add any links in my answers, my account was banned immediately.

 

What do you mean by "yahoo group"?

 

I really do not know is it dofollow or nofollow, how to tell it?

 

Yahoo answers are very method to promote any new software. But i think forums do better than it.

 

I found the exact same thing. Not much result now and I believe the links are actually "nofollow'.

 

If you are going to use yahoo answers set up a new account. If you get the top answer a few times any jealous competitor can 'report' you and you'll get your account closed - that's it; no worthwhile appeal against it.

 

i like yahoo answer, coz it gives me a massive traffic

 

Yes,i use Yahoo answers to promote my products.

 

careful on promoting something there, someone will report you and you will get banned.

 

one of my websites gets a lot of traffic from yahoo answers, but i don't spam the answers, only answer where it fits.
