    I've tried that before and it's a bit hard than I thought. Usually I look for questions related to my site's niche so it won't be considered as spam

    You need to hire someone to particularly ask some questions and you then answer with your links.

    Yes, you can. But it takes a lot of patience. You should build your reputation first in Yahoo Answers. It's difficult to post hard-sell messages there. You can get banned from doing that.

    Yes I am doing the same but you need to be a bit more careful while dealing with Yahoo answers. Get the trust first and then start your promotion that's the key to success..

    That's the trick. If You are about to promote and apply your marketing strategy through yahoo answers then it will be great if it in the way of pre planned. If you ready your questions and then from other profile answers them with your plan then it may fulfill one's thought about what are your offers. Just like you prepare coffee for your customers and let them to eat earlier coz you know if you serve the better then this will works.

    Can you realize what you are saying about?

    You are saying about offering coffee to your own hotel's manager.

    That is not trick, that is spamming.

    I usually search for open question related to my niche and answer them along with a linkback. It gets me good traffic as well.

    Where do you use to search questions like who is shakespeare?

    Have a search with the above question, and then come back to comment for spammy tricks.

    If you do it right, it is a good marketing tool.

    I wouldn't recommend preplanned Q&A, it doesn't work too well on these types of sites. Its better to be genuine, and add value. As with anything you do online that you want to work for you long term.

    I have a good reputation on Yahoo Answers, and can be hired to do this.
    I am a Q&A site junkie, and spend way to much time on Yahoo Answers, and all of the (many) others. I know the ins and outs.

    ok :)

    I'm just a bit paranoid about losing my profile(s). I have lost several, but not for exactly that..

    It may or may not be against their rules. But hey they are making money from the content you would be generating.

    I guess you can do it.
