Secrets to gain points in Yahoo! Answers

Hi Mates,

A very important point to gain points in Yahoo Answers is to participate in choosing the best answers by voting (Vote for best answer).

* Some peoples ask the question but don’t choose best answer for any damn reason, and so the question remains unresolved and goes for choosing best answer by voting.
* You can go to your answers history and check for unresolved questions and give the vote to yourself for best answer by clicking
* If no one else vote for any other answer as best answer, then your vote will choose your own answer as best answer (bring you 10 points, bravo!)

Gaining points in yahoo answers ? For what do you do it ? are these points helps to rank in yahoo?

 

Nope, it is not going to help you anyway in Yahoo Search SERPs. Its just to build trust among Yahoo Answers visitor for answer you are giving.

You can recommend your service to needy peoples in Yahoo Answer and your point will show your trustworthiness, IMO.

 

interesting technique, thanks for sharing, i have a low point count and always wondered how to get more..

 

Hmm... I have 10% of my answers that have been voted for the best but I've noticed some people have up to 35%! I might try some of these ideas. Thanks

 

I had only 5% of best answers but now it has increased to 40% !!

 

some say you can put links in Yahoo answers some say you cant? whats the correct answer?

 

I am also not sure..But for getting yahoo answer traffic I always put my link in all the answers if the questions are related to my site niche

 

you can put links in your answers in the format of http://example.com but they're nofollow. I'm not sure if you can express a link as <a href=""></a>; but either way all links posted by users are assigned the nofollow attribute.

 

well it will still bring traffic i guess

 

yeah, it will bring traffic, yahoo backlinks and make people more aware of your site, so its still worthwhile.

 

i think yahoo answer is the best option

 

Yahoo Answers never meant to get Backlinks, as they are with no follow. It is place where you can market your website and help visitors by suggesting answers / service (yours, as well as others).

It can only drive traffic (as well sales, sometimes) not a backlink

 

yahoo backlinks still indexes and counts nofollow links as backlinks, therefore it does increase your number of backlinks. whether or not these links have any releveance towards SEO is an entirely different story.

 

Or you can make multiple accounts and then vote for yourself,eliminating any chances of anyone other than you getting the best answer

 

they not track IP numbers?

 

Voting for your own self, wouldnt that be called cheating?

 

I'd call it a bit fecking sad

 

That is interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Sorry to post this in the yahoo forum, but do other search engines follow this method of counting backlinks as well? (In similiar search engine applications) Thanks.

 

Thanks for the tip
Its a nice way to get little traffic .......
