I know, or have heard, that it's a great way to get some extra traffic to your site. My question though is, how can you get your links on Answers without getting banned or having your link removed?
If your link is relevant to the answer you have provided, u will not get banned. Morever , they donot ban if u donot overuse the facility. Just stay under the radar. Use different links. Make your links mingled with your answer and not stand out.
What I would do is google something that relates to the subject and link my website with it. All you need is a proper answer.
True. I definitely agree with this. If you don't want to get banned from a forum make sure that you're threads and answers are related to your site and make sure that your answers to their questions do have sense. Happy Link Building to your site! and Goodluck!
Thanks everyone for the input. I understand now. I was mainly confused as to if I put the link in the source or in the actual answer itself, but I think I got the idea now. Thanks again.
Yahoo answers are nofollow, but u could answer people's questions and truly help them to slove the problems.They don't delete your resource box if your answer related to question. Yahoo have good PR and Good indexing so it will make traffic for you.
First get a level 2 answering accouts to place clickable links. Then search for relevant questions. Make valueable comments in your answer and put your link.
If you've multiple sites of different niche, it would be easy for you to share the links which are quite relevant.
The main key is to be helpful and to clearly answer questions and solve specific problems. If you do this then having your link in the resource section can be beneficial to the reader as long as it is directly related to the topic.
I agree. Some niche is very hard to get related question but some niche is very easy. Remember dont make more than 20 answers by putting same link, it is risky eventhrough you answer it in proper way
Yahoo answer is definately not ink building since it is nofollow but the thread starter is talking about generating traffic.
Yahoo answers it not the only answering site on the internet - try the other sites also - a huge listing is available on the site internetexperts dot info.
I'm puzzled why so many of you say that Yahoo Answers does not provide links. I find lots of links to many of my inner pages from Y/A when I check my inbound links in Google Webmaster Tools. A quick check of one inner page on GWTools a few minutes ago showed eight links to that inner page from Yahoo Answers. Nofollow or not, these Y/A links are showing up in Google's database.
