Nice post Antheay , Yahoo answer help you to share your ideas about every thing ,hear you can have knowledge sharing .As you said if we participate in that conversation there will be chance to displace your discussion when some one are searching with same query .Its help you get good amount of traffic and PR too. I think it don't effects your website rank or other ,if you use resource box only to get traffic and says like i know some thing about it and i am sharing it .
As previously stated, the links you place in your answers do provide SERPs value. In the past, I even encountered some eBooks and tutorials that focused their backlinking efforts solely on Yahoo Answers, instead of article marketing or blog commenting.
Non-related link will not give you targeted traffic. Also, it will risk your account, if someone report you, you will get banned
I wouldn't think so. Unless your answer includes your website url, in which case it's a basic link PR plus.
