Many People Overlook Yahoo Answers as a Source of Highly Targeted Traffic.

The basic premise of Yahoo Answers is that people ask questions and other people answer them. It’s basically a giant message board. Some questions are very strange, whereas others are normal.

The quality of answers varies from good to bad to utterly dreadful. You want to be providing these high quality answers.

People are only banned if they abuse the system and consistently provide low quality answers. So long as you stay on the correct side of the terms of service and provide decent quality answers you will have no problem keeping your account. People can retain their accounts for years whereas others can lose their accounts in a week because they break the terms of service.

The key to success with Yahoo Answers is to find questions that you can answer and your website provides more information on.

There are 3 benefits from Yahoo Answers.

1) You gain traffic from people reading your answer

2) If selected as the best answer, you will gain traffic from your answers search engine ranking

3) The backlink from the answer improves your site’s 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.

The best questions to answer needs you to use the advanced search feature. Search the questions opened in the last 7 days. This will provide you with the best questions. You then have to examine each question and find which ones you can answer properly.

To keep your account alive you need to give high quality answers and get chosen as the best answer. This means you have to have understood the question totally.

Open your answer with a friendly greeting such as “Hi there” and use their name This instantly makes your answer stand out from the crowd and will start to build 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.

Only put your URL in the answer box if it has specifically been asked for. Putting your website address in every answer is likely to get your account shut down. Your website link needs to go in the resources box underneath. It will still be seen and clicked, particularly when your answer becomes the best answer.

Yahoo Answers provides a very good way of acquiring targeted traffic to your website. It works well for most types of sites and some people earn decent money just from Yahoo Answers. Use it well and wisely and you can receive many benefits from it.
