    Thats the best solution you can have search for question based on your topic which is not answered and try to give a good answer and use your link as a reference.

    I also heard about that we can get traffic from Answer.Yahoo. I used to join in but I didn't find it work. So it's long time I didn't log in.

    I have a level 5 Yahoo Answers account and have probably posted at least 1,000 links along with many thousands of answers.

    • Answer with helpful information.
    • Be sure your link is related to the question and your answer.
    • Do that and you'll never get banned. Why should you? That's what Yahoo Answers is all about — providing relevant information, including related, helpful links.

    And to repeat my earlier post, yes, those Y/A links are showing up (many of them) in my Google Webmaster Tools list of inbound links.

    They show up, but they don't count. So, what's the point of showing up then?

    Sure it is used to provide links if they are relevant to answer the question. But sometimes your question never gets answered...

    how can you say that they are not counted !!! any hard resource for your claim ;)
    Well, even if i get few hundred visitors a day from yahoo answer then its Okay and will not make any harm if such links are not counted.
    we always try to grab most relevant traffic.

    Yahoo! Answers can ideed bring traffic to your website. It is possible to add links to your site without getting banned.

    You should take care, however, that you link to your site only within questions relevant to your site and where you can provide a useful answer.

    I've posted hundreds of links to my sites and have gotten a good deal of traffic from them. I've never gotten banned and currently have a Level 7 account on there. The key is simply using the advance search for finding questions related to your site you are promoting. Also, try to not include "check out the site below" in your answers unless the asker is specifically asking for a site.

    Its little difficult thing. First of all you need to get level 2 points to use clickable links, Next your post must be relevant to question.

    Yea, I initially used to comment without considering the conversation.. ..and just used to put my link. Then I realized the posts must be relevant to the post and also to our web site...

    Answer questions that are related to your niche, make sure that you had
    answered the question properly then put your link to the sources
    well if the question ask for a site then you can put your link
    to the body of the answer, participate in a good way don't show them ]
    that you are just spamming
