Difficulty of getting traffic from Yahoo Answers is likely to plummet when Yahoo reacts to lot of people starting to use Auto traffic hijack - pushed by all the big names last month. This helped automate creation of lots of Yahoo accounts for aswering questions to generate traffic
Yahoo answers will give you only relevant traffic, because all links are no-follow so we did not get any back link..

As i checked all links are no follow, then it can't be useful for increasing backlink.But It's obvious that yahoo and it's Answer section is one the most important websites on the net. Having many answer about issues related to your site with a link to your site (it should be related) can help you in receiving targeted traffic to your website. Try to have many best answers over there !
I used to get decent traffic from Yahoo answers, but it depends on the quality of your answers and the way they are worded. In any case, the best way to find out if Yahoo answers (Or any other site for that matter) is worth your time is to use it a few times and evaluate the results.
It's worth your time to get very niche targeted traffic in low quantities. It's not worth your time to garner SEO beneficial backlinks.
I have a gambling related site which is a pretty lucrative audience and so even low but targeted traffic from Yahoo is worthwhile. If it's a much less profitable niche, it might not be worth your while.
