    You can build somewhat relevant backlinks. Yahoo answers has a high PR so some inner pages get page rank as well in time. Bookmark the pages with your links on them too. This will help that page to gain little pr.

    You look for questions, answer them really good, and for source put your link up. It ranks high in Search Engines, especially in Google. You get BackLinks, and you get traffic as well.

    No... Actually your wrong.

    They are dofollow and are accounted for on my google webmaster tools dashboard. Any body want to see a screen shot showing they are accounted for can PM me.

    You can use Yahoo Answers to get traffic to your site. Answer questions relevant to your site's content and leave a link. :]

    Maybe if you have a link on your Yahoo Answers profile, but any links that you include in your answers are definately nofollow.

    The service allows any Yahoo user to ask any question and get answers and advice from other Yahoo users. The community picks the “best” answer, and everything is archived for search.There are a number of interesting features built in, including spam flags and RSS feeds for every question.It’s actually quiet useful, you can rate answers and ask a question of your own and it is FREE!U can use it to get traffic just from people recommending your sites in their answers. So u can receve over 30 visits for a month from Yahoo Answers to your site. how to earn money using yahoo answers?? i will try to explain u. The scheme is very simply- the person asks a question on a theme, where he can download a lot of cheap music. And when the local contingent answer him on this quastion!someone will advise u to thrust special inquiry in Google, someone will show u the the resource with cheap musik,having published the reference.Earnings here is building on competent thrust of the reference in a body of your answer to someone's question.

    Yahoo answers have nofollow, man. 100% sure.

    The benefit of y! answer is that you reach a really targeted audience. Like if you are selling weight loss supplements, and someone is asking on where to get some good weight loss supplements, then you can answer the question (not in a way of advertising) referring them to the site where you sell the product. Things like that.

    Although it is no-follow, you can get handful of visitors, if you place a source as your link. If you spam, you'll be banned...

    On some of my smaller sites I have bookmarked the categories that I can answer questions and then put the site that I have as a source. Even better, I can use that question to create a full article that can permanantly stay on the site.

    Great resource in my opinion.

    I think you can add a link to your site after you post any answer. Some of the people who see your answer may click on your site or blog which will bring traffic.
    More the answers, more the traffic.
    Cheers,

    in yahoo answer, we do not need to provide live link, a link back is great enough.

    it's better to answer first to have "before the fold" position.

    Yahoo answers can help you gain exposure which in turn can build traffic, which in turn can help you make money.....
