Should I Be Social Bookmarking "Best" Yahoo Answers?

4 replies
I have recently started an affiliate site in my favourite and most knowlegeable (for me) niche. For traffic i have simply stuck to writing articles, providing helpful/insightful comments on other peoples sites/articles and also have been using Yahoo answers, which in turn provides backlinks to either pages on my site or to my articles.

I usually find 3 or 4 relevant questions at Yahoo Answers on a daily basis and provide helpful (in my mind) answers and then as mentioned above provide a link back to either a relevant article i have written or a page on my site. Over the last week i have now had a splurge of best answers (yeeeeaaa) and have noticed that these are now providing traffic back to my articles and sites.

I am just wondering as we pretty much social bookmark everything we write, should i also be doing this for the Yahoo best answers i have been credited with or will this just be considered spam. I ask because i now notice more and more and more Social Bookmarking sites, no longer accept bookmarking of articles from the top article directories!

All Answers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Man - be careful using Yahoo Answers.

    They love banning people. Your links might stay there for 1 or 2 months - but then - BAM - they are gone.

    Use techniques to drive traffic where you have more control over them. For example - blog commenting in your niche.

    Just my experience with Yahoo Answers - others report better results - and some also report bad results.

    I wonder if they ban people if they don't place links in every answer they make? I read a report that said to place a link in only one of five answered questions. Something I need to test. However, if the link is left, it does seem like a good idea to bookmark it. Anybody with tested results that can comment?

    You can bookmark anything you want, including articles... The real power though is having other accounts on the same site bookmark your stuff that you bookmark.
