    Yahoo Answers give No Follow links, but it's still a good way to pull traffic besides using SEO.

    Google ignores "nofollow" anyway. So that is not important. Also, I didn't click your link because I wanted to stay on this page, make sure people realize that if they are going to link to pages, they are at least relevant to the content they are responding to.

    Google does not ignore nofollow links at all. They haven't for awhile now. They are still good backlink sources.

    Also, the link is relevant to the content...I'll edit it if it lets me

    There is yet another trick, you may cooperate with your friends,
    and ask the questions which are relevant for your and their sites.

    You get much more traffic from Yahoo Answers if your answer is chosen as the "Best Answer" for that question.
