Yahoo Answer Sux.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can you get traffic when the number of times you can use your site or link as reference is very limited and it can even earn you a ban..

Look elsewhere if you are serious minded..

Probably because you spammed! I get good traffic from it.

You can't get traffic from Yahoo answers by trying to take advantage of it and plastering your link on every question. Only answer questions where you could give a helpful answer, and where the question is relevant to whatever link you put in your answer.

It's best if you are a frequent user of Yahoo Answers in general.
That means a lot of best answers, and a lot of thought going into your answers. It helps if you could pick a topic you enjoy talking about and give some helpful answers in that category to boost your status.

Then, when it comes time to promote your link in some answers, you won't be penalized for posting several same links in multiple answers.

On the whole, traffic is limited unless a question gets on the first page of Google for a moderately to highly searched keyword, or even if it get landed on the first page of the "relevant" results and not the "newest" results within Yahoo Anwers.

You trippin, I looooove me some Yahoo answers, one of the best places online to see what problems/questions people have within a certain niche. Type in any keyword you like and just look at all the questions people have, look at all the problems that need to be solved.

If you want to make money, create a valuable site that will help these people. Can you dig it?...Deuces I'm out.

Edit: Idk why but every time Lovboa posts I want to watch a Will Smith movie, jk, love that quote in the pic though.

So you guys want to say that Yahoo answer is still a good place for driving traffic? To do that I must rank the best answer with the link to my site within #3 spot of google? Doesnt it means YA itself is not a good traffic source?

Not all links in Yahoo answer can bring you traffic. The content in your link or page should have a good search trend. Only if people searches for a particular topic it is possible to click your link.

Yahoo answers will bring some traffic. But it definitely helps indexing the webpage quickly. Most of the answers that I have given on Yahoo have been selected as best answers, but I can't say that they are bringing any traffic. I think you need to keep answering qs all the time in the relevant category to get some traffic.

Then you have this issue of being banned for no reason. One of my genuine answers was reported; my answer was removed, and I even appealed for it, but nothing happened. The girl who asked the question, reported all those who had inserted links in their answers!

IMO, yahoo answers bring in very little traffic that dwindles as the page rolls into time.

Getting traffic from yahoo answers is the easiest way, It also helps you to build good links. If you are not getting any traffic from yahoo answers that means your answer is not helpful, cause if it is then people would love to click your link.

It depends. It really does - I'm getting recurring visitors solely from Yahoo Answers and haven't answered questions in a while. Shows up in my Google Analytics. I've answered so many questions I have no idea which one is ranking within Google or if it's all native answers traffic.

My first few forays were fruitless.

This also took time. I didn't think it would work and then noticed the trickle of traffic pick up and pick up after I'd given up on answering questions.

Yahoo answers can give you some good traffic, as many times they will come up first in Google for long tail searches. However, I've had problems with it. I've found that people report many of my answers, even if there are no links in them and they are helpful and answer the questions. I almost feel like someone sees me as competition and is trying to shut me down by following me around and reporting all my answers.

It can be a pain, but ultimately Yahoo answers can give you some decent traffic.

for a spammer everything sux, becuase link pasting without neccessity is restricted.

There are some good software products out there for yahoo answers..might want to google them. If marketing correctly Yahoo answers can be awesome

If done properly, you can get decent amount of traffic from Yahoo answers. However, the problem is that these answers may get deleted any time as they contain links to your site.

I once had an outsourcer make 100 or something answers on Yahoo, linking back to my page. I was making a few sales then all of a sudden the traffic died down. I checked the report sent by the outsourcer and found many of the answers were deleted.

I have got some great traffic from answers on some topics.It's like everything try it if it works,if it doesn't try something else till you find what does work.

Rewind back a year ago.. Let's just say, there was a popular celebrity naughty tape that had emerged onto the internet.

I posted a question on yahoo answers, asking a simple question, "Where can I watch the *** tape of so and so?"

I then logged onto my other account, and posted a reply with my website's URL.

That one Yahoo question was getting me 2,500 unique visitors per day. I slapped up a site which streamed the tape, after the user filled in a survey ($0.10 - $0.80 per survey). I was banking $200 - $300 per day. 14-days later Yahoo removed the question. But still, I managed to bank a good $2k in 2-weeks from doing 1-hour of work.

It's all about how you use it, and how clever you are at using it.
