    Do not use more links, and do not use these words while posting "Thanks for sharing" then you save yourself to get banned..

    I agree with all others. Do not over do leaving your link whenever you answer someone's question. Make it naturally.

    Personally spent a lot of time toying with the idea of yahoo answers and to be honest found it spammy, cluttered with nonsense and all the replies to my questions were almost comedic in content.
    Have been back once or twice just to post some of my links there, haven't been banned but is definitely not a structural spoke in my SEO gambit.
    Honestly - does it work for anyone?

    And don't blindly accept your posts being removed - if you're not there to spam, and are including links to genuinely respond directly to questions, you have a "right" to use them in your answers. If someone takes issue with you and your posts, you don't have to lay back and accept it: contest suppressions when they're unjustified. However, if you're there just to spam, then you'd be better off devoting your time and resources to more productive outlets/sites.

    Does banning account means our e-mail account gets deleted?
    Does Yahoo ban a particular url too?

    Simple: Answer according to the topic and don't just drop some links.
    In my experience with Yahoo Answers, even though you're a top contributor, your right to put links to your answers will not change.

    I may be wrong but un-necessary linking often results out the ban.

    It is better to be specific to the question while answering instead of self-advertising.

    As far as I know, Yahoo answer policing is done by general community users only. Unless somebody reports the post will be safe even if it contains many spammy links. Once two people report it, the answer will be removed. If this happens with many answers the user may be banned.

    Just use your link only on your answer that is really related to the topic.

    I've been a fan of Yahoo Answers years way back, even if you post informative thoughts
    and you just posted few links they will still banned you. So for me I think post more without
    links and see if it works. Then only issue is you need backlink ofcourse.

    Yahoo Q&A websites is reliable source of information . Use it for promotion of your websites and not for optimizing your link :)

    Dont post links unnecessarily, post it only if it gives a vital information. Give valuable and correct information. Participate in all categories and do not participate in same category. Participate in Yahoo answers regularly and show your presence.

    Just make sure you post your link in the "Source" box and not the answer box.

    I've never had a problem being banned. I only post my (or my customer's (see link in sig)) link in related questions. Never spammy. Also I answer questions that have no links in them but I'd estimate 85% of my posts have links and I've not been banned yet.
