redrossero 14 years ago

I believe you will get banned from doing that...why you don't just answer other people questions?

Yep. That is a sure way to get your account(s) banned. Instead why don't you search for your keyword and answer the question with some helpful advice. If you have alooked around yahoo answers you will find that answering a question with actual helpful advice is a pretty good way to get picked as the best answer as many of the people who answer simply spam or reply with one or two word answers.

If a WSO is selling the idea to spam Yahoo answers by posting your own questions then answering to drop product links or whatever...that's in violation of Yahoo's TOS and thus also the WSO rules.

Please no misunderstanding ..
The WSO is not saying I have to answer my own questions .. NOT at all .. but what in the WSO is that: you have to do your best to get your answer chosen as best answer.

I know it might be a misunderstanding by how you worded it seeing where your from,but your guestion does ask:
quote-Yahoo answers:how can i answer my own question?(unquote)

I was checking out a couple vids from youtube from a couple warriors and in the search results a video came up showing this technique.

Thats all im going to say besides its against there tos.
And if its related anyway to that video and it becomes a wso.
You might be going on vacation.

Definitely not recommended.

Yahoo answers police this kind of activity heavily. They may not get you today, but they will eventually and you'll be banned as a spammer.

Provide valuable answers and content on the site and you'll do ok .....

The ethical way would be to delete the question.

Don't take advantage on Yahoo!Answer. If everyone doing like that, who is going to trust answers from Yahoo!Answer?

There's nothing new here. This has been going on since Yahoo Answers was created. Heard about this years ago ... Creating many Yahoo accts ... asking questions and answering questions with proxys. Lot of work for accts that get banned pretty quickly.

You'll get banned in no time man...
If there is a wso that's suggesting to do so, then don't buy from that guy again!

He/she is leading you to lose things instead of winning!

Thanks
