Thread: Yahoo Answers for Traffic

Lot of people claim they get good traffic from Yahoo Answers http://answers.yahoo.com/. I tried that sometimes ago then I realized its really doesn't worth much considering the time I put there and the traffic I get in return. But I have mention one good thing about Yahoo Answers is, I still get occasional traffic from them. Now I think if I have spare time I could go ahead do answering there, and get some traffic.

How is the experience for you guys if you have tried that?

i have heard this as well. I tried yahoo answers once and got banned after few days.

To date, I got 5 selected best answers and these 5 best answers gave my site a total of 320 direct visitors.... hmm, no bad at all I think..

that's actually quite good. how much time did you spend there?

From my experience, Yahoo! answers is really great...you can get good traffic..but it totally depend on your answers and responses.

I think yahoo answer is helpful but it depends on the market. My friends is successful in getting traffic in yahoo answer for her credit card site.

I also do answering questions in yahoo answers. I wouldn't mine even if I spend much time answering in some questions as long as my answer is really beneficial to them. I just make it sure that all my posts are quality so that it would also help my site provide with good traffic.

It means you always try to put your website URL in your answers

Yahoo Answers is a great way of getting targeted traffic to a blog or website, just comment wisely though its consumes time....

Yes! you have to give time and one should also have to be wise to give answers with the related reference (which is offcourse your own site). The more traffic you will get, if your answer will be the best answer one.

i am not trying it yet but i will try it...

there are other communities like Yahoo Answers that also drives traffic like Amazon's Askville and Answerbag

I haven't tried using it for traffic, it seems like it would take a lot more time than forum posting, and carry a higher risk of getting a ban.
