    I've tried it but it's just not bringing much traffic in for me. 30 visitors a day is a joke, though.

    I have had a few hits from there, but I can't be bothered creating an account myself as the links have no follow attributes, I believe!

    Direct traffic from Y! Answers is close to null but Google and Yahoo! bots pick those questions very quickly. Now if someone is searching for an answer for a question like many people do, link to the Y! Answer will be somewhere on the 1st page.

    I signed up for it and never used it for affiliate marketing but I think I will try it. Thanks for suggesting it.

    I agree,

    it really does help boost traffic, mainly for proxies as everyday you have people asking for unblocked proxies.

    I think it depends on your reputation there, if you have good reps people will likely see your answers (and obviously the link you suggest) and you can get a really good targeted visitors for your site.

    You can expect traffic/referrals from Yahoo Answers on when u talk sensible and on topic else ur answers will be deleted which sucks!

    Ya I agree that its a good platform for advertising but I feel bored answering to the questions :p

    its ok but their are alot of better options out their, I mirth answer a few questions now and then,

    but I find if you have good content on your own sites other randoms will link back to your site lol...

    I get ok traffic from this certain page where my answer is number 1 or something, like a few thousand uniques a month, I didn't even post the answer some other user did...

    Yea, I'd say Yahoo Answers is too smart to recognize flagrant advertising platforms. Any links to a commercial website in the Answer section may be removed. This is not so if referring to an informational website. So many moderators (rats) looking out for any opportunists.

    I think he's talking about when you search a question, YA is on the first page, and if they click on that search result, they will see your link

    Yahoo answers is a great way to sort of get free SEO. You just have a buddy ask a question, then you can answer it however you want. Of course, this would only really work for something really specific. Obviously, you can't just have your buddy ask "who has the best blog in the world" and answer with yours ;-)
