    Yahoo answers is a good source for the quick boost of traffic for our sites but the answers shouldn't look spam which would get your account suspended sooner or later as they are very strict at that.

    Yahoo answers is pretty effective, but you have to be very careful in making your answers and questions appear natural so as not to get penalized or flagged as spam.

    You can get traffic from there if you add your site as a source in your answers. Most of SEO's and Webmasters do in that way.

    It is only because you are at level one of answerers. To make your link appear you must be at least at level 2. So keep contributing.

    It helps in bringing some traffic but the down side is that its a 'Nofollow' backlink. I get about 20 visits a day from Yahoo Answers. I have to be the first or second to answer.

    I dont think yahoo answers plays any role as far as SEO is concerned. Yahoo answers is simply a discussion place where people put their question and any one can post the reply.

    however, yahoo always monitor the answers and even the questions - so alot of users are sometimes got banned using the yahoo answers becuase of abuse. posting inappropriate links or links not related to the questions will result to it.

    traffic is one thing that you will get from yahoo answers. Only thing is, you just can't spam them with links and expect to be on top of the search engine.. like you said, the links are nofollow so SEO = no dice.

    Well, You have to be a certain level in order to get a link towards your website. If you sign-up to Yahoo Answers and post your links, they won't be worth anything. Plus, they're not even links. I'm guessing Yahoo has disabled that feature because too many people were spamming their links.

    Yugo,

    Some 'seo experts' claim that google values backlinks from yahoo answers. Is it true?

    If you read all the comments here, you will know that google do not value nofollow backlinks no matter what is the source, but nofollow links may be helpful in SEO.

    Here i want to clarify that only backlinks is not SEO. SEO is much more than backlinks and link juice.

    Yahoo answer can add traffic to your site if you have an informative answer and leave your site as your source.
