Right now I'm getting 'best answer' for about every question I answer, and I've seen traffic come in from Answers, but I have made no sales yet (I've been doing this for about 3 days, like 15-20 questions a day). My question is, does Answers traffic convert? I don't want to waste my time if I won't see any sales for my effort. Thanks.
It does convert but you risk getting your account banned for doing it. So it means you need a ton of accounts, plus if your comments get deleted the traffic is therefore short term. So therefore I don't recommend it and I don't do it myself but if an affiliate wants to send me some traffic from there, I ain't gonna complain.
I tried it few months back and traffic is very short lived and did not get any sale. Not sure if someone has tried it with CPA (email & zip submit) offer though.
It takes time to answer. If you can answer 300 questions per day, then 1 month later, you will get 10 sales per day. But your account would be banned.
I actually have success with YA although I didn't invest a lot of time in it. I answered 5-6 questions few months ago and they are generating small but constant traffic to my landing page and 2 weeks ago a visitor from YA converted for a $47 product.
