is yahoo answers considered blackhat?

lol..yea that's funny how the OP worded this thread....No Yahoo answers is not BlackHat..just the way people choose to use or abuse it may be. I have had success with yahoo...but keep in mind...this is normally not the crowd with a credit card in the holster ready to whip it out.

They have problems...that is for sure...and they can be lead to a resource that ultimately may require that they invest for more in depth info on a subject.

i re read my opening post, i fail to see what u mean mate?

Thanks

Do you see Yahoo Answers listed anywhere in your affiliate control panel as a viable means for traffic gen? mmmmm probably not. Meaning that if your network sees your referrer being YA there likely going to tell you to stop.

Which means you probably want to cover your tracks

Using yahoo answers to send people to a cpa offer is blackhat. But as long as you blank your referer using a double meta refresh you are safe.

Excuse my ignorance but is it correct to assume that you would use the double meta refresh in order to hide the "Yahoo Answers" referrer from the affiliate network ?

By the way, I think the double meta refresh is good. However, do I STILL need to cloak my CPA affiliate link on top of that?

If the above statement is right, then Yell.com (an infomation provider) is an unethical biz.

However, Blackhat doesn't always = Unethical, because 'Chicken has 2 legs, but not everything that with 2 legs is a chicken'. Well I am not a chicken...

No, I do not think it is blackhat unless you spam.

or if you answers questions that have nothing to do with your site.

Thanks

I agree answering Yahoo answer questions is not blackhat if you are doing them manually. Of course, if you are using some software to autopost there, that would qualify as blackhat.
