    I didn't have much success with yahoo answers. Although I had hoped that it will convert well as people look for specific things but it looks 90% want free suggestion. What's your experience with Yahoo Answers.

    No, yahoo answers give my site very little traffic. I run a forum and have found that people have posted links to me site in lots of yahoo answers - but the amount of traffic is very small. I dont think yahoo answres is in my top 50 or top 100 sources of traffic.

    You can expect to have some traffic if you are a regular poster there because the pages are visited by a lot of people regularly.

    for me yahoo answer works quite well, i have automated the yahoo ques/ ans step using a macro which runs the whole night while am sleeping.

    About 75 % of the ques/answers are still there after 24 hours ! and it brings me targetted traffic which converts well for me .

    Yahoo answers might bring you an inbound link or two... but in general the population of Yahoo Answers is very immature and not serious about using it. Don't expect lots of good visits from it. It's visitors will probably be even lower quality than what you would get from Myspace, if you can believe it.

    I find it more work than it's worth. I can get visitors but no sales out of Yahoo traffic.

    Last month's traffic from Yahoo Answers was 63 visitors. There are some links from Y/A going to a good number of my inner pages. All in all, I'm not sure it's worth the effort, personally.

    My foray into using Yahoo Answers for traffic in the MMO niche was interesting but worthless as a traffic generator however for small targeted niches I can see it working.

    It always brings good visitors but conversation rate is not that high.

    I never try but I doubt it since yahoo isn't very popular in this field, and I heard the rumor they cheat too.

    Its decent for quick bursts of traffic. My latest answer generated 170 visitors in just over an hour, but only one conversion.

    I haven't had much success with Yahoo answers either. In my opinion, it is not worth the time and effort.
