Yahoo Groups a good idea?

    I work for an organization at the moment and think maybe i can get some people to join a yahoo group if i created one. Is it worth spending some time updating the content on a regular basis in the group for the product awareness, SEO, and email list i could potentially generate?

    It sounds like a lot of work to create and maintain a new group, but the people who joined would probably be more "dedicated" or "loyal" than other visitors. I'm not sure how many people would ultimately be attracted to it; the downside is you're limiting your reach to Yahoo users only. It's hard to say whether it would be worth the effort at the end of the day.

    Yahoo Groups was killed by spamming jackasses, just like Myspace was. I had to drop out of the one group I was a member of, because I was getting over 20 spam messages a day.

    Yahoo Groups is the best deal. You have total control. Just remember to look out for spammers and make its a registered users post only group.

    It Helps in terms of Traffic to your site. But It Doesn't help in your SERPS.

    I have used just one good Yahoo group with good PR that has gained me several places within the top search engines like Yah**, being second for my total traffic. They are worthwhile and will help you probably start or definitely continue a solid site ranking well on G**gle. ;) I actually gained 20 positions in a week because of the group and with only a few more links I have been able to secure #1 ranks for most of my keywords. :cool:

    It's a little over the top, but someone wrote an article on how spam affects the internet, that I think describes Yahoo Groups, and Google Groups, too.

    ( It's not my blog, by the way. )
