    Yahoo Answers websites (answers.yahoo.com) is a brilliant website if taken in the perspective of a advertising ground. Thousands of people coming up wid numerous questions daily, many even related to grounds like affiliate marketing, social networking. Found it a great platform for advertising ur own business through smart answers and signatures too !

    Guys u can try Yahoo Answers to increase ur referral earnings or even for generating traffic. T

    I tried without success. Some people live on there to report posts. If you put only just enough info to get them to click your link, most of the time it's deleted as spam. Put too much info and no reason for them to click. It does pad your backlink numbers, but I had zero visitors referred from them, even when answering questions like "what's a good site for"-and by legitimate users, not me talking to myself.

    Its often foolish to put links to get them deleted. It should be hidden within the post but not with that http:// mark. I have got good responses....a smart way to draw traffic is Yahoo answers

    I haven't had any success. I think it's good if you have an article or post directly related to the question's topic. Unfortunately, that's pretty limited for me.

    I dont recommend yahoo answers unless you have some sort of script and even then you need to answer ALOT of questions to get much traffic.

    It's a lot of labor, but little things add up in the long run.

    If you're looking to promote your site, create 2 yahoo accounts. Use the first one to ask the question and the second to answer. Try not to make it so obvious that you are just promoting. After 4 hours go back and mark your answer to your question as the best answer.

    i've never added a link to my site into Yahoo Answers, but many other people have added links to my site to help answer various questions.. I think this means my site is an authority site!:rolleyes:

    I get a few dozen hits per day from it.. nothing great..

    I have a program that did this for me, I didn't get such good response, but the program kicked ass.

    I have done this before with success. But instead of going out and just posting up links everywhere, just answer questions logically then include your link in the source box. I get like 30 visitors a day from there.
