Yahoo Answers – Drive Targeted Traffic To Your Site
I´ve resisted trying Yahoo Answers for some time now. However, the last two weeks I decided to play around with Yahoo Answers to see if it was a viable option to drive traffic to my websites. I´m happy to report that this could be a hidden gem when it comes to building traffic! But be warned, do it wrong and you´ll end up banned. Here´s how I´ve been doing it.

10 Steps to get Traffic from Yahoo Answers
The hot selling topic in the blogosphere is how to get good traffic to blogs and how to retain them or covert them as regular readers. The popular ones around are Digg, Stumbleupon, Technorati, MyBlogLog, Search Engine, Forums, Directories, Link Exchange and other community centered sites. But the one that is overlooked and never talked about is Yahoo! Answers.

How to generate traffic from Yahoo Answers
Yahoo Answers is an interesting place to get quality traffic from. Have you been using the service yet? Well, it´s a nice service they´re running out there and is the only service (apart from flickr) that I regularly use from Yahoo.On Yahoo Answers, people ask all sorts of crazy questions. Yep, really crazy ones. I´ve seen some one ask Where are my car keys? But that´s an interesting observation. It could be a meaning less one now, but 10 years from now, similar questions would make more sense.

Yahoo answers can be used as part of a bigger action plan. Answer sites, along with free tools for keyword research are an excellent way of driving traffic. Creating keywords and using them to form powerful questions, can help drive huge amounts of traffic to your website.

Huge amounts of traffic will boost your links, raising your site level in search rankings.

Yahoo answer is a great way to build links and raffic to your site. One tip is to answer questions in a number of topics and do not include your link everytime. That way you look much less like spam.

Great article. I must say that this is a very effective way to get directed traffic to one’s website. I currently own a couple website myself and have relied on yahoo answers to send traffic my way.

The great thing about using yahoo answers is that the traffic you generate is likely to become member/customers of your website becuase they are “already interested” in your niche being that they were searching yahoo answers for that particular category.

Converging traffic is the best. Not a bunch of vistors who have no interest in what your website has to offer.

However I must say that this process is time consuming and probably wont be beneficial if your time is limited.

I was refereed to http://www.ReliableAnswers.net and they have been a dream come through for me. They are basically a company that specializes in creating professional answers to yahoo postings that fit the category of a person’s specific business, and then leaving a link to the person’s website/blog for people to refer to.
They are professional. Their team is knowledgeable and fluent in English.

Since the inception of http://www.ReliableAnswers.net, my internet business has been making more money than they ever have before.

Definately a company I would continue to use for as long as I have internet based businesses.
