Does Yahoo Answers benefit in SEO?

may be have a bit use..

 

i think yahoo answer is waste of time

 

Hi buddy

You think but your thinking is not true. As I mentioned earlier I tried Yahoo Answers many time and it delivers results in less than 24 hours that starts from around 10 minutes. Very good for traffic

GCS

 

yes its useful a bit but yahoo question answer will be related to topic of ur sites, when u put any answer u can make link to ur site.

 

for traffic, that is one aspect of SEO.

 

It's a tricky situation because you can't post links (unless they reference something) and you can't persuade anyone to visit your site, even if you're not trying to sell anything. I know this because my Yahoo Answers account got deleted due to trying this with 2 different accounts and a proxy. Seb has been a bad boy.

 

Well, it happens what can I say

One small trick to insert you commercial link in there and not get banned - I did it many times:

1. Get into Yahoo Answers and search in the appropriate category a question somehow related to your website main theme.

2. Read carefully the question and research on Google,Yahoo or any other engine the appropriate answer - even if you are a very smart guy you can't know it all , and another reason would be the best answer prize.

3. Place the first link - this is not your link , this is the source link. This will help you not getting banned for what you're about to do at step four

4. Place your link under the first link. NO commercial messages in here, just a link. Don't link to a commercial page , link to a content / article or at least a well written about us page.

Good luck !

 

cool man, thanks for the tips, I'll have to try that. would you still suggest creating a few extra accounts using proxies and posting questions with them, and then answering them with a different account?

 

You can do that as well , but there are many unanswered questions there , you have plenty to pick from , don't go for so much trouble , you're wasting your time ... and time is money after all

 

awesome, thanks again for the tips - I've had Yahoo Answers rank for the keywords I wanted, but the questions got deleted (think of all that wasted traffic!) :/

 

It's a no-follow link... but it will build up your reputation if your answer answered the question... by helping others, you're helping yourself...

 

I think that Yahoo answers is beneficial for only traffic not other for SEO topics.

 

Yahoo Answers is Good For Traffic. I enjoy reading and placing comments and answers to Yahoo Answers.
