    yeah, you could do it like the old stumble exchange - you say will exchange 1 answer for your answer.. although they might catch on if its 2 accounts answering each other.. so you need a 3 way one.

    Just do searches for keywords related to your niche and then
    answer any open questions. Just make sure to post a really
    long well informed answer and don't spam becuase they will
    shut down your account.

    You can also go through all the newly asked questions so you
    can be the first to answer. Sometimes the posts will show up
    in search engines bringing you more long term traffic.

    It is best to promote a lead capture page when posting a URL
    on answers and not a sales page.

    You should focus on your website.
    Spend your time improving it.

    Once your users will be happy, they will link and share your site.

    Don't put your URL in the body of your ad like I did or you'll be shut down like I was. It was fun while it lasted and I did get some response. They said I could come back on with new info but I haven't had the time.

    No, don't use your link like a forum signature - you will be banned.
    Put your link as the source to the answer - but only do it when it really IS the source of the answer.

    I have tried yahoo answers for a couple of months, but the results were quite poor. I even got several best answers but that did not create consequent traffic.

    Here's some interesting and useful information for you...


    ~ Quote Directly From Yahoo:

    "With more than 21 million unique users in the U.S. and 90 million worldwide, Yahoo! Answers is the largest knowledge-sharing community on the Web. It’s an online community where anyone can ask and answer questions on any topic. Yahoo! Answers connects people to the information they’re seeking with those who know it. Everyone has life experience and knowledge about something, and Yahoo! Answers provides a way for people to share their experience and insight."

    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/overview/overview-55778.html



    ~ Article From the Search Engine Journal:

    Marketing Your Site on Yahoo Answers...

    http://www.searchenginejournal.com/marketing-your-site-on-yahoo-answers/4509/



    ~ PDF From Cash Tactics:

    "How To Make Money With Yahoo Answers"...

    http://cashtactics.net/ruckreports/How To Make Money With Yahoo Answers.pdf

    Note that the script mentioned in the above report is no longer available. It was essentially a spamming tool and something I DO NOT recommend you attempt to do on Yahoo Answers, unless you want to waste your time. Ruck now recommends "Answer Sniper"...

    ~ Guide From Small Business SEM:

    "A Guide to Social Marketing on Yahoo! Answers"

    http://www.smallbusinesssem.com/a-guide-to-social-marketing-on-yahoo-answers/1056/



    There's a bit of information for you to digest from the resources listed above, but hopefully it will help give you a bigger & broader picture of "Yahoo Answers" in general.

    More specifically how it can be extremely beneficial to include in your overall website marketing plan. I personally think the most powerful few words mentioned here come directly from Yahoo's own quote...


    "...Yahoo! Answers connects people to the information they’re seeking with those who know it..."

    Best...
