Before reading this, please understand. Am not going to tell any shortcut or a illegitimate way to get best answers soon. Am just underlining the important fact that everyone has a big probability to forget. Am talking out voting.Yahoo answers has a funny visible black hole. Its nothing but, you can vote for your own answers.Statistics says, most of the best answers are selected by voting. As the asker spends less time selecting the best answer. So if you answer a question in yahoo answer, be sure to watch the question frequently. Many answers win best answer award with just one vote.But the single vote worth ten points. Its not only important to answer a question sincerely. If your answer deserves best answer award you will get it. If not, its not a sin to push it. Question selection is an important thing. There are two ways of using Yahoo answers. 1. Driving traffic to your website 2. Increase Yahoo answers points. If you want to drive traffic to your website, you have to select a good question, for which your site can answer. So that you can spray a link on your answer.Most of the times, website deal with most common things. So the possibility to get best answer is a bit low. Unless you have a very good piece of info in the link you give, you wont get best answer. But still , one of ten will visit your website. But this section is not an exception. Even very famous questions are left un-noticed. If you have your answer in the question, vote for your answer. Remember , every vote is worthy. Increasing yahoo answer points means getting more best answers. For this, you need to select a very dry question , or a question which no one likes to answer. You can see many questions with just one answer for months. If you answer those questions, the asker has to select a best answer. So you will get it 90%. The 10% is when he selects No Best Answer. If in case, the asker loses interest in the question, you can vote yourself, this time its 100% yours. My Best Answers: I got 75 best answers, I did not do anything illegal , no fraud. I just voted best answers for the questions that i answered which were under voting for months. http://www.infosyndrome.com/2010/01/how-to-get-best-answers-easilyin-yahoo.html
Ha ha ha... I never know that I can vote my answer as a best in Y! I am going to vote them to get more traffic as well as huge points. Thanks for your info!!!
Real good. I even didn't think of Yahoo Answers as a means to get traffic to the website Good to know! Thanks
Yahoo answers is a great tool, but be careful about faking or using bad techniques to drive traffic. The short solution is to give good answers based on research and not just anything to promote your site. The more thoughtful your answer, the more value it provides, the more people will click on your links, or copy and paste for that matter. Im around 218 points, only about 32 to go!
From what I understand it makes your links clickable...Up until that point, your links cannot be clickable, until you reach the 250 point mark.
Yahoo Answers drives loads of traffic if done correctly. I actually do this service for other people. The only bad thing is that you have to be very specific and answer the question very specifically or you have a great chance of getting banned. There are a lot of idiots on yahoo answers. They will report you for no reason to lessen the compition.
I never knew I could vote my answer as the best on by myself. Thanks for that one. Also, I don't really use Yahoo! Answers anymore because I'll usually have my account banned within the first few answers that I give. Yugo,
The problem with using yahoo answers though is that the target market on there is mainly teens or young adolescents. Unless you have something unique you can sell to this niche, I would reccomend staying away from it. I tried some testing on yahoo answers, and never got any sales or response. But plenty of clicks though! Just my 2 cents, it may work, just has not for me.
I think just being knowledgeable about which questions you're answering helps. If your answer is crappy and useless, why would it be voted best?
I agree, if your going to use yahoo answers, you need to give thoughtful, honest answers, otherwise you'll look like a fluke. That being said, I believe most people asking questions on answers are pre-teens or teenagers, and unless they have a credit card or a willingness to buy, its a waste of time...
He doesn't means that you can post votes for your answer from the same account! It only means that you can vote for answer as this also leads you to get points. Answering your own answer is not possible from the same account but if you have another one then you can surely vote it. But he haven't used any illegal way so voting your answer is not implied in this thread!!
