How to use yahoo answer?

Hi all, I run my first website, and I don't know how to promote it, someone says the yahoo answer tool is a good seo tool, but I don't know how to use it, how to answer other's question with my website link, can anyone tell me?

thank you!

 

It is worthless as an SEO tool. It is only good for the direct traffic the link might give.

 

Yes, I know, but I want to try it and I don't know how to leave link in the answer.

And do you know any seo tools? thank you.

 

First choose questions that cover your expertise, then it becomes natural to include a link in the answer.

 

Thanks, Traffic-Bug, I go to try now.

 

Yahoo answers is a lot like craigs list- "Good for about 2 days"... Its gets indexed VERY WELL the first day for a niche keyword term, but then later falls off - 2-3 rd day at best. Good for marketing though. Check the threads, 1 guy is doing it for 1.00 per and he will guarantee top answer with you link.

 

Thanks for your tips.

 

Yahoo Answers isn't a tool. It's a venue where you post comments to questions by other users. Posting in Yahoo Answers is a good way to boost site traffic, esp. if you answer has been flagged as the best!

 

Good tools for promotion if you've sites for multiple niche.

 

Who's the guy? I'll hire him.

I vouch for him- By the way, if your answer isnt the best or picked one.. Nothing else matters.

 

You can look up someone who has a question related to your business or what you are promoting. Then once you found an interesting article to reply to, you can include an answer to the question along with a link to your site offering more information,ect.

 

in yahoo answer, u can joined and answer people question and get link from there so people start coming to your site

 

The links in yahoo answers are nofollow so if you are looking for seo links or PR, it's not useful.

BUT, it's good if you do it the right way, because you get direct traffic and a good marketing image for your site. "The right way" means: forget spam, don't link your sites if the article is not really related. Answer questions before linking your sites, try to reach at least level 2 or 3.

 

I've been doing some Yahoo Answers marketing in the past month and granted it yields no SEO benefit, there mere traffic that is possible is spectacular. It's definitely worth looking into.

 

Thanks to all, if no seo benifit, just find some questions to reply a good answer, it may take more traffic to my website, right?

 

putting your link on random pages that you find is a way of promotiong your site, just like yahoo answers. The key with yahoo answers is to find something that your site relates to and then post a valid answer to the topic that contains information to your site. You see people all the time spamming and it takes away from it.

 

You have to search for OPEN questions related to your products and services and recommend them.

 

Find the relavant question which is same niche as your website, then put your website link under the source column

 

I don't think you will gain boost in Google with it. However, it is a good method to get some direct traffic.
