Many people ignore Yahoo Answers as a source of highly targeted traffic. The time involved with it and the ease, with which it appears Yahoo ban people puts them off. The concept of Yahoo Answers is to ask and answer questions on a wide variety of subjects. It's a huge message board in essence. Some questions are extremely odd, whereas others are normal. The quality of answers varies from good to bad to utterly dreadful. You want to be providing these high quality answers. Accounts are only shut down if they abuse the system and consistently provide bad answers. As long as you stay on the right side of the terms of service and provide high quality answers you will have no trouble keeping your account. People have had the same account for some time and have gained thousands of points, whereas others lose theirs in a few days because they break the terms of service. To succeed here, you need to find questions you can answer that are relevant to your website. There are 3 benefits from Yahoo Answers. 1) People read your answers and come to your website 2) Your answer, if chosen as the best answer, will rank in the search engines and get traffic directly 3) You can get a backlink from your answer which will improve your sites rankings As it is thought of as an authority site, links from it are both relevant and beneficial. To find the best questions to answer you must use the advanced search function. Search the questions opened in the last seven days. This will give you the most relevant questions. You then must examine each question and find which ones you can answer well. In order to keep your account and to get voted as the best answer, you need to supply high quality answers. This means you have to have understood the question fully. Begin your answer with a friendly greeting such as "Hi there" and include their names. This builds the important connection with the questioner and makes them feel good towards your answer. Then write your answer and sign off with something equally friendly such as "Hope this helps you out" and then sign out with your name. Only put your URL in the answer box if it has specifically been asked for. If you put your URL in every single answer, you are likely to get your account closed down. You need to put your URL in the resources box below the answer box. It will still be seen and clicked, particularly when your answer is voted the best answer.
