    Yes, it can.

    Make sure you're Level 2+, so you can post clickable links and that you don't spam your site.

    Some Vital Facts about Yahoo Answers:

    • Yahoo Answer will bring you referred targeted traffic for sure. This type of traffic is highly valuable. The visitor came from a reputed website and a related page.
    • Yahoo Answers backlinks are Nofollow, but they still may help your pages got indexed, only they will not contribute to your page ranks directly.
    • Even if yahoo backlinks are nofollow, they are valuable and they indirectly contribute in your SEO as well. Also they add to your nofollow backlinks count, so making your link-building more natural. Remember, NoFollow backlinks from reputed websites are not not worthless, like say, wikipedia, digg.
    • Many websites, including yahoo itself get content for their FAQs from yahoo answers, in that case you receive a dofollow backlinks. In past one of my best answers was used in Yahoo's FAQs including my backlink. that was a really great backlink. A backlink from yahoo itself.
    • Many people copy and paste yahoo answers ( manually or using bots ) as content of their website, this process is generally automated and includes your backlink. Thus your one best answer may give lead to many copies of backlink, remember bum marketing?
    • Negative thing about Yahoo Answers is that it is very strict about using links in the signature ( or better say sources section ) People who do yahoo answers for payment generally got themselves banned on single spam report. If you dont want to get banned, you really have to work hard to find out exact questions and put your links very wisely.

    It can give you some traffic - the amount seems to depend on what niche you're targeting.

    The amount of traffic depends on the popularity of the question asked.
    Some questions got ranked top in Google results, in that case you get tremendous traffic.
    I am still receiving regular traffic on my closed website for which I included backlinks in some yahoo answers years ago.
    I have also seen that people use autoblogs which fetch yahoo questions and answers as content and include the links as well, in that case the link got distributed over many websites.
    Hope it helps :)

    I used Yahoo Answers before for increasing my traffic, and it worked. Yahoo Answers often show up at the top of Google results, so if you get lucky, you can get some good traffic this way.

    basically it depands, you need to give a lot of time to bring the traffic to your site. So better give time in other SEOs tactics. Also your answer should be selected as best to bring the traffic

    I think yahoo answers can bring some kind of traffic. But don't expect a huge traffic from yahoo answers. If you give a good answer and referral link, you can bring some kind of traffic.

    You can get decent amount of traffic.

    I did. As soon as I was level 2 I posted my link as the source in questions related to my website.

    Good to have a good best answer % .

    Yes it helps to get good traffic if your answer is good. It's also an advantage if your answer is voted as the best answer.
