Is Yahoo Answers help in increasing back links??

I have added the link of a government website in yahoo in an answer related to travel and tourism in India. Also checked the back links of the government website. No back links from Yahoo. Is Yahoo answers help in increasing back links?

 

Well, my opinion is I don't think so it a quality link, and your answer is, it can increase your popularity but back link I don't think so

 

I don't think so. Not in a million years. No backlink.

 

It can generate some traffic but not backlinks.

 

Are they using nofollow. Google crawl the answers quickly like digital point thread.

 

Hi there! Yahoo! Answers isn't good for direct links, however with 70 million odd user generated answers to over 7 million user submitted questions the opportunity exists to market and establish yourself as an authority / expert in your field.

By posting good answers to relevant questions one can geain featured status, as well as get your answers reposted by other users, which will ultimately translate into links.

Your efforts here are not in vain as every bit helps in establishing web cred!

 

It sends some traffic that's all.....

 

you will get traffic. I think the links are nofollow.

 

hi

i m agree with falguni1

 

Yahoo Answers use NOFOLLOW. Basically you'll not get any backlink juice but it does send you quality traffic if you target teh right categories.
Word of caution, if you are targeting one specific category/market dn't wander on Answers and reply to all sort of questions.
ONe more thing, Yahoo answer will bring you up in relevant search queries in all major search engines, especially Yahoo.
So overall good exercise.

 

You wont get any backlinks from Yahoo Answers sadly enough however they do rank quite well sometimes. If this is the case for your answer the question that you may have answered when people search for the keywords in the question or answer on google you may get traffic through this.

I have in the past

Will.

 

They are using nofollow tag

 

i dont think they have any impact in seo

 

Simple answer is no, yahoo answer use nofollow tag. So links from yahoo answers don't count as backlinks.
You will need a little traffic from these links.

 

secret
I found out that place a backlink in Yahoo Answr you will get a false listing as "Listed" at Smartpagerank.com..
Just noticed that..

 

Correct. Side not I'm a top 10 answerer and top contributor to the search engine optimization section.

 

Look guys google puts alot of weight on links from yahoo answers even though they are no follow, It is a very powerfull linking strategy. The only problem there is that there mite not be many qustions related to your niche so this is how I get around that, simply get one of your mates to post a ton of qustions related to your niche, then just go and answer then.

 

it might be the case that you are checking the back links through google with the operator site:www.domain.com...........as google do not show away all the links thus you need to check them with many other sources available on the internet......

 

I made research about this now and I dont know whether this gonna works for my compnay or not,but I will give a shoot about that

 

its helpful for SEO
digg is NOFOLLOW too but its good for SEO
