What about Yahoo Answers?

I used to make over $100 a month on Yahoo Answers promoting zip and email submits. You can get some traffic from it, and I have even made some affiliate conversions from it. I usually get from 0 - 20 visitors per answer (it all depends on the niche and the question).

I now use it for research.

I started with Yahoo Answers a few weeks ago. I am level 2 so just have my links in my profile. I have found that I am getting a lot of traffic from it. Also this traffic stays on my page for a while too. This lets me think they are reading my posts which is what I want. I have set up some saved searches and will try to answer a few questions each day.

i'd say its the best way to generate some traffic. never mind if the links are no follow, they will still be of some worth (atleast they will help in creating good link mixture along with do follow links, if you have any).

YEEEEES
Yahoo Answers campaigns are bringing me recurring passive income....is has been about 15 months since i started a campaign (20 answers posted) that brings me about 180-200$/month...Every single month...

Now i got a tool to make this quicker and more effective...But you have to know one thing: Dont spam YA and also Dont be afraid of it

Yahoo answer is not about nofollow or dofollow. Its a way to get huge traffic. Just you need to answer niche related questions.

I do it for my industry,Cleaning services and I answer relevant answers in my category. Not sure about the link but I do get some traffic from it as well as even a call for a job. So I would say it works great. I enjoy helping people with my professional advice.

I've been using Y!A pretty steadily for about the past 10 months and it generates both a steady stream of visitors and income for me. As others have said, don't do it for the backlinks, but the traffic you get can be good quality traffic.

A couple of things I've picked up along the way are that have helped include:

+ After you post an answer, be sure to go back and vote for your answer as the best once it's in voting. Sometimes just that 1 vote is enough to get it chosen (by voters) as the best answer. If the asker doesn't select a best answer, the answer with the most votes automatically "wins" after 4 or 5 days.

+ Voting on other answered questions that aren't resolved yet is a great way to get your point total up, especially in the beginning. You get 1 point for voting on the best answer for a question. I think even at the lower levels, you can get ~100 points a day by going to the "In Voting" section and choosing best answer. It's helps get you to a higher level quicker.

+ Using the advanced search box helps you find open questions with your keywords with fewer answers. Less competition can improve your chances of becoming the best answer.

I still get visitors regularly from many of the questions that I answered 10 months ago. I think getting voted the best answer helps because it puts you right there under the question.

Don't let the above steps seem overwhelming either, as it is I probably spend less than an hour a week on Y!A between answering and voting.

Hope that helps!

Any traffic is good traffic. Yahoo Answers is worth the effort. I outsource it on fiverr.

Yahoo Answers is definitely effective when done properly.

I've tried Yahoo Answers campaigns one months ago, though just gain a little traffic, but better than none. The important is it's free, so worth the effort .

When done right Yahoo Answers can bring in traffic. Just make sure your answers aren't spammy.

I have observed that when i post with yahoo answer level 3 accounts it gives better result compare to level 2 accounts

Yahoo answers could bring traffic but just dont go spam and answer all questions there with random answers.. Its just way to unethical.. xD

i know yahoo answer gives us no-follow tag but if you get back-links from authority site than it may be useful for you.If you use it properly than it gives you free relevant traffic...

Well, I managed to pull in some leads through Yahoo answers, plus it's a good source to generate enormous amount of traffic. I highly recommend you start working on it for IM purposes.

I have found YA to actually harm my SERPS and I posted all relevant and genuine answers

Hello! I personally can tell you that yahoo answers do drive traffic. It just depends on the niche and the kind of question you'll answer. Just get the right ones and you can get traffic. I hope that helped you in a way or so. Best of luck though.

Its not difficult at all to get a good result if you know what you are doing. Those account banned issues have several workarounds.

1. Don't use your personal yahoo account and risk getting it banned.

2. Don't appear too spammy.

3. Use several accounts to ask, answer, and vote on questions.

4. Provide relevant answers.

5. Answer your own questions and vote for your answers. :-)

6. Consider not posting a link every time you post, OR post to several of your sites, not just one.

7. You can outsource account creation and posting to your kids. ;-)

Sometime I get good traffic from yahoo answers so from my view it is worth it to answer questions.

I never used Yahoo Answer so far, i heard that it is going to be helpful for getting traffic and backlinks.

Im getting good traffic from Yahoo Answers, specially from gaming related questions :-)

Yahoo Answer board such a better information network you find your answer of your questions and it help to get huge traffics and control your Alexa ranking.

I had a website that was making 200 visitors/day from Yahoo Answers. Yes the links are no-follow but members can click on them and that's all that matters. Yahoo Answers to the IM is not for backlinking but for getting targeted traffic.

As long as you create custom answers and are smart with your answers you will get no-follow backlinks and some extra traffic from yahoo Answers.

People say no-follow backlinks are useless but they prevent an unnatural link profile. Most natural websites will have no-follow links also pointed to them.

Yahoo Answers can give traffic but not that huge. I think it is helpful if the keyword you're promoting can be found on the question where it appears on first page during search query on that keyword/topic.

I tried Yahoo Answers several months ago. And I had my links in my profile which bring me lots of links. So I think it is useful, especially the keyword you are promoting can be found in the first page.

I have not started this technology for my own websites yet but I am going forward it.

It still is a good way of getting free traffic, especially as it doesn't take that much time to answer questions. I've seen people add spam to their answers and they get punished. But it's a great way to get traffic as long as you follow Yahoo's TOS

i'm trying now.
but it just so so...

Yahoo answers is okay but it all depends on the category your answering in, in my opinion the questions are really low value and bad english as well. It seems like a lot of questions asked dont even belong in the right category.

it can generate the more traffic but now a days some peoples are made it adult question & answering site..where you feel very hesitate to read the question very tough to give them answer. traffic from Y answer is generate more bounce rate..

The links in the yahoo answers are nofollow only.

You can answer the question in 4 day

Depending on the product or website that you are promoting, Yahoo answers can definitely help increase your popularity significantly.

Just do your best to be selected as the best answer, and never just copy paste your answer from one question to another.
