Traffic With Yahoo Answers
Yahoo Answers is a source of very targeted traffic that many marketers overlook. The time involved with it and the ease with which it appears Yahoo ban people puts them off.
The basic principle of Yahoo Answers is that people ask questions and other people answer them. Think of it as an advice board, if you like. Some questions are very odd, whereas others are normal.
The answer quality varies massively, with some being pretty useless. It goes without question that you will be providing these high quality answers.
Firstly, people are only banned if they abuse the system and provide consistently poor answers. So long as you stay on the right side of the terms of service and provide decent quality answers you will have no problem keeping your account. People have had the same account for a long time and have accumulated thousands of points, whereas others lose theirs in a few days because they break the terms of service.
To succeed here, you need to find questions you can answers which are relevant to your website.
The benefits of Answers are threefold.
2) Your answer, if chosen as the best answer, will rank in the search engines and get traffic directly
3) You can get a backlink from your answer which will increase your sites rankings As Yahoo Answers is considered an authority site by the other search engines, having links from it are considered highly relevant and very beneficial. To find the best questions to answer you need to use the advanced search function. Search only questions opened in the last 7 days with your keyword. This will give you the most recent questions. You then need to look at each question and find which ones you can answer properly. To keep your account open you have to give high quality answers and get chosen as the best answer. This means you have to read the question and ensure you understand it fully. Begin your answer with a friendly greeting such as “Hi there” and include their name if you are know it This instantly makes your answer stand out from the crowd and will create rapport with the questioner. Then write your answer and sign off with something equally friendly such as “Hope this helps you out” and then sign out with your name. You should only put your link in your answer directly if it has been asked for. If you put your website link in every single answer, you are likely to get your account banned. You need to put your website link in the resources box below the answer box. It will still be seen and clicked, particularly when your answer is voted the best answer.
