I got a lot of traffic from Yahoo Answer.

Hi, Warriors

I got a lot of traffic from Yahoo Answer and would like to share with my friends.

This one's easy, you can answer a question and plug in your link where more info can be found.

Or you can ask a question, then answer it yourself 2-3 days later. Don't answer yours right away, wait for some other answers first. Find what you think is the best answer, then write an even better one, then mark yours as the best answer and people will go to it as they'll think it's the best answer too.

Yahoo answer rocks, because they get a ton of traffic daily, so already this is a plus. They also rank awesomely in Google for a keyword, so you can use Yahoo answer to get even more exposure from the search engines for a quick amount of time.

Don't be surprised if you make hand over first using yahoo answers and then drop off, it will rank high, but only for a little while, Yahoo answer seems to have a way of dropping off the front page just as fast it got there.

Rinse and Repeat...

Hope it helps.

Suravej.

Hello Suravej, I have also made a huge traffic from yahoo answer as you have got.

Shhhh, what are you doing telling everyone??? Lol

Yes yahoo answers can bring decent conversions and traffic but the vast majority of people don't know how to really use it effectively, too many people try to spam their link all over the place and that will simply get you banned. As with any other method it takes time and effort to build up.

For those looking to implemet, this is a nice little method to add some additional income but shold not be your entire business model.

Good luck.

Thanks

tried this method before..

It was going only ok at first, i got a couple conversions

Only to recieve about 20 emails later stating "your answer from yahoo answers has been removed for breaking terms of service"....

Then 1 or 2 of my yahoo accounts got suspended probably a couple months or more after that.. and I still needed those accounts too..

I hope it works out for you

Yes Yahoo answer is very effective to seek traffic and once I was a regular replier. But can't continue regularly and gradually forgot about it but you remind me.
Thanks buddy for your sharing. I'm going back to continue again.

This can be a nice strategy for beginners, but you need to be careful, use different accounts, different IPs, submit answers without links, too...

Also, it's important to get in touch with your affiliate manager before using this strategy, because some networks and advertisers don't like traffic from YA.

I think this method could work well... but you have to have several yahoo account for doing questions and answers! And then, most important is the keyword research.

Anyone as results to share? Traffic? Conversion?

I've experimented with drawing in traffic with Yahoo answers (not by spamming links) but to be honest I didn't really receive any positive results. Seems like it does work for some people though so the best thing to do would be for people to test it out themselves and see how things go. Yahoo answers is, after all, a very popular online space and, depending on the niche and type of product/service one offers, there is definitely potential to draw in some new clients/buyers.

Thanks

This works no doubt, you only have to be careful the way you go about it... You can get banned by yahoo. But do CPA sites really accept yahoo answer's traffics?

When I see posts like this, it reminds me of something Perry Marshall once said,

"If your business model requires free traffic in order to work, you don't have a business."

Free traffic methods hand control of your traffic over to somebody else. And that "somebody" can turn the spigot off at any time.

I respect Perry Marshall, and he is indeed a true expert when it comes to Adwords PPC, but I think that statement is bogus. It might be true if someone relies on only one source of "free traffic," but the key is to get traffic from a number of different free sources. If one source of traffic dries up, there are still many others that continue to work.

When my foray into PPC several years ago put me thousands of dollars in the hole, I have only used free traffic sources ever since. Of course we all know that free is not really "free," because there is always an investment of some sort, be it in time, tools, outsourcers, whatever.

PPC may be the "best traffic strategy on earth" for some people, but I'm sure there are many people who would contest that statement, including me.

There are many other traffic methods that are effective for bringing visitors to your site or offer, and they may even cost far less than PPC. For example, true article marketing (as propounded by Alexa Smith and others) can be an extremely effective strategy when implemented correctly.

Yahoo answer is working very good for my websites as well. One of the primary reason behind that it is one of the most traffic-ed websites on the internet.

Moreover the users are coming there to find an answer, so they are kind of 'desperate' which again helps.

Don`t agree with you,Level two account works, and about long term strategy , if you spam your answers get deleted within an hour if you provide real info and help out people over there that is a long term income , i am still making money from answers i posted last year (may 2011) .

It depends entirely on what your products are doesn't it? I use it to get people to visit my site, opt-in and into my funnel. Yahoo is also a top ranked site so don't forget about the SEO advantage there too - these posts stick around if you don't make them spammy.
