    I tried to answer some questions on yahoo answerer's. I clicked on answerer's to answerer questions and then saw a search bar cine up. I put in a keyword that relates to the theme of my site and clicked but the questions did not relate to my theme.

    I expected at least a few questions in my theme which us websites,

    What I do wrong> How do I answerer questions in a way that creates link backs to my site

    I believe Yahoo answers links are nofollow. So not worth the effort.

    Yahoo answers is nofollow. However, it will bring you traffic.
    You can go for advance search, you can PM me your website, i can help you out to find out related section to answer. Some niche really have less question, it is depend what niche you are looking for

    Why not create questions if they don't exist :p

    Also try advanced search....there might be someone who had asked atleast 1 question related to your niche..or is the niche totally new :eek:

    Yes. That's true... don't use this method if you're trying to build backlinks... use it only for building some traffic.

    yahoo answers won't increase your backlinks but it can give you some traffic, try creating some questions related to your niche

    each backlink is a considered as a BACKLINK, valued more or less but it's still a vote. So you can try harder and find questions to answer, follow that section every day and you'll definitly find questions to answer.

    I get a good amount of traffic from yahoo answers. I'm sure everyone already knows, but only if you answer with facts and resources. I get so tired of the spam, that I end up spending more time reporting answers than answering.

    I can use traffic along with backlinks but traffic will do. To get an idea of whether it is worth the effort to get traffic this way would you tell me could you tell me how many questions you answer per day, week or whatever.

    Yahoo answers will result in traffic but the links are nofollow, therefore they are useless in terms of SEO.

    Agreed, it's barely worth the traffic though, unless you post a ton of answers.

    I have been linked to from yahoo answers before and although the link is nofollow, it does bring some visitors. However the amount that came (50 visitors in the last two months) does not warrant using it as a regular successful marketing tool.
