okay, so i built a new site a couple of weeks ago for a new niche, has about 8 articles on it, made a few sales, all is good! A few minutes ago i thought i'd google my domain.. see if those ezine and goarticle backlinks are registering.. Whats this..?? yahoo answers..LOL! Somone has answered a question with my domain name.. frggin hilarious.. saves me making 10 yahoo accounts Content is indeed king! ps. oh yeah, i gave the comment a thumps up!
I've had some people on Yahoo! Answers link back to my sites too. Pretty sweet when that happens. It's sort of a cycle that happens once you show up high in the search engines for a search - then people find you and link to you (if your content is decent) and then you keep ranking highly!
LOL, that's a nice one Except that Yahoo link will be worthless when it comes to SE ranking cause they add rel="nofollow" tag to external links automatically, which Mr. Obama Supporter above clearly has no clue about.
Yahoo answers are for generating human traffic, not for link-building, which apparently YOU know nothing about. if someone other than himself is putting his link on yahoo answers that means people are talking about his page, thus generating traffic.
... woah kid. First of all there are more search engines than just Google - "nofollow" doesn't necessarily work with Yahoo! and MSN. Second of all, I am not at all convinced that Google does entirely ignore "nofollow" links - just because they say they do something, doesn't mean they do. Second of all if you read what I said more closely - I was talking very generally about people searching for something - finding a site with good content - and linking to that site. Not necessarily just on Yahoo Answers but on their own sites... in forums... in their blogs. Etc. I have this happen quite frequently with some of my sites that are more based on quality content (rather than other sites that are based on selling whatever.) Third, don't make an ass out of yourself by assuming things about other people based on your own lack of reading comprehension. I'm very well aware of what "nofollow" is.
LOL Same thing happened to me, but instead, the person asked if anyone tried productname.com and I noticed at the end of the URL it had ?hop=myCBusername It's kinda funny I guess.
Ah... You probably already know this but for anyone else reading who may be curious (I've seen this come up in this forum before) --- that kind of link (productname.com/?hop=you) won't work (ie your hop won't be attached to visitors who click on a link like that.) You have to use the clickbank hoplink (whether directly or through a redirect) like you.vendor.hop.clickbank.net to get credit.
good point there Enmar. I need to save my crack smoking until after I get done with my forum posting.
I was baffled why I was getting traffic from yahoo answers for a product I didn't promote there, until I realized also, that some one used my article as a source. I truly am an "Expert EzineArticles Author"
although yahoo answers has "no follow", but i found some forums add yahoo answers as threads may be through rss , so you also have backlinks. also, yahoo answers rank well with search engines, beside the traffic it generate. so in my opinion yahoo answers is real treasure..
