I am an SEO beginner.I want to know if links can be posted in yahoo answers, if yes how.I tried but cant
He's right... but, you need to write good answers in order to get your link posted. I work as a Yahoo! Answerer for people, and I submit links on almost all my answers. Hey, why don't you check out this thread? I'm pretty sure it will help you out.
Do yahoo answers help in link building or driving traffic to the website?. As the links that come our from yahoo answers are no follow so do they really help in serps?.
In my opinion, Yahoo! Answers help in link building. It also helps you drive traffic to your website. Even though the links are nofollow - people say that they can make your website rise in the SERP.
You can definitely place links in your Yahoo Answers, but make sure you provide a quality answer and then direct viewers to your URL for more information.
The answer links are nofollow, so you can not benefit as a SEO effect. On the other hand you will get targetted visitors from yahoo answers if your link gets posted on a suitable answer. My gaming site gets at least 10 visits a week from yahoo anwers, even though I have not been actively answering for years.
I feel the same. In my Google Webmaster Tools I see many, many links from my Yahoo Answers posts. I'm a level 5 user at Yahoo Answers and have never been banned or had any posts or links removed that I am aware of. As Sweely has advised, I always try to post helpful information directly related to the question. If you're doing that, you'll have no problem adding your links.
You need to collect enough grades to reach level 2 before the links you post can be shown. It may take some time, but all worth it. Yahoo answer is very good in bringing traffic.
There has to be a minimum number of postings provided then only you must be able to submit the links.
When you reach level 2, you will be able to answer with links in your source box. It's definitely worth it. You answer questions. Answering a question gives you 2 points. If your answer gets selected as the best answer, you get 10 points. If you rate an answer as the best answer, you gain another point... and so on. When you reach level 2, which is 200 points, you will be able to submit links in your answers.
When you reach level 2 you can include clickable links in your answers. Make sure the link adds value to the answer though or your account will be banned.
