Okay,

I just found an article that said you should not post a link to your site more than about 1 out of every 5-7 posts that you do. If anyone else has any insights, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi,

You can create two accounts, ask a very well keyword optimized question by using account #1, then answer the question by using the second account, and choose it as best answer about 4 hours later (make sure the question asked and answered are from different IP addresses).

Get a few links to your question, and you should be getting some good Google traffic for quite some time

Good luck!

Thanks

  Yeah and, even ignoring the ethics part, they could probably test for ip and machine/os parameters as well. I don't know whether they'd go to that trouble or not, but from what I've read you don't have to go to the dark side in this business...

The best strategy is no answer the question in the space provided by YA, then link to a blog you created for that niche (just create a blogger blog with ezine articles in it but remember to give credit to the authour!!!!), and link in each blog post to the offer.

So say you are promoting a weight loss product. Create a weigh loss blog, and start posting in your blog just by copy pasting ezine articles into it (again, giving credit to the authours), and then at the end of each blog post, link to the offer using a call to action line. Then, go to YA and answer questions and link to you blog "for more info" or "as the source", and there you go, you will get steady traffic to your blog, and to the offer and YA traffic does convert to sales.

Thanks

Forgot to say something important: NEVER link directly to the offer and VERY IMPORTANT: The reason you should create different blog posts is that YA checks is a certain link has been posted too many times, so only link a few times to each blog post!

I post 20 answers a day and leave 3 links...1 of those links is not my material. So far it's been working great...it has exponential effect after a while.

Answer Yahoo a pretty good way to get ban. I implore you read the rules and regulations very well.

Then try to answer about 15 questions daily for a month and use your keywords within your answers.

I just started using YA to make a few quick bucks while my "for real" websites gain some traction. I'm having a little bit of success using redirects to affiliate sales pages. I don't do the "semi-black hat" trick creating multiple accounts and answering your own questions from different IP's.

Basically, you just need to give the best answer to the question and put your URL in the resource box. This is easy if you know the niche well. Try to make your answers personal if you can and take the time to make an avatar for yourself so you don't look like a spammer.

Thanks

I gave up trying to answer questions on Yahoo because it gave me very little traffic.

Instead why not build a blog and answer peoples questions there? One of the most popular blog posts of on my blog is one where I invite people to ask me a question. I have even gone so far as to bribe them with a free gift when they ask a question.

This has worked very well for me.

You must be expert in some filed. Post answers in that field only.

Put your experience in your yahoo answers profile.

Post long answers for more traffic.

Good luck.

Okay, you got me curious with that one: what you mean by "most popular"? You mean you get a lot of comments and questions or do you mean a lot traffic or what?

Thx for the idea...

  they still appear for some long tail keywords, depending on how you setup your post

I would agree with nick. You might get less traffic from YA, I would too prefer writing a blog.

I quite like Yahoo Answers. I answer about 4 or 5 questions a day in the weight loss field and then post links to various articles on my site. I did a google alert for main keywords and YA always comes up, sometimes with my site and my answer.

My answers are thorough, and I avg 1/2 for Best Answer always. A little addicting.

But, no I don't create a page, I have enough content on the site to link to various pages on the site.

I like your suggestion NICK1123! Thanks!

Cheers,
Terri

Stick posting in your niche. Posting questioning, answering with different ids are helpful. Good to have multiple links in your questions. And if your answer is chosen best, that give it more boost.

I don't think there's anything unethical about it. Just ask a question that a lot of people in your targeted niche have, and then give them a solid answer which is basically a teaser to get them to go to your landing page.

That's what proxies and multiple accounts are for.

Hi guys

i personally get hits by giving my advice in the answer and then pointing them at a domain in the resource box underneath.

Ive also had a lot of best answers and had them ranked on Google in keywords that i have been targeting so it really is great for your traffic building.

Kind regards
