I hope that all of you realize that not every link that you place has to have "SEO value" I also hope that you realize that a nofollow link still gets crawled by other engines. Google is the only spider that completely ignores the link attached to the nofollow code. Yahoo indexes the site it points to, but doesn't pass any authority, all others index the link without any issues. Direct traffic links are just as important as any link that you'll place for an SEO reason. Think of it as advertising for your site. If you answer a question, and it's picked for the best answer, then you can place your link so people can go learn more from your site.
Yup rightly said google is the only search engine which truely skip no follow links so we shouldn't discourage comment posting the other search engines crawl it.
Well I do know that alot of people use yahoo answers to market their materials, but on the other hand, they also can get reported like that too if a person thinks it's a scam...even if it's not. So just be careful.
Hi, The best way to make use of Yahoo answers for your business promotion is to look for the questions related to your niche, answer them using your expertise and direct them to your website page where you have already provided the answers to their questions in detail in form of informative articles having your affiliate products or website link.

I think Yahoo Answers also helps in getting your site promoted because you create buzz and it's useful to have people talk about it. Voting it as the best answer is also a good move for your site.
