9 Tips to Build Free Traffic With Yahoo! Answers
By Srinivasan Gopal

An almost unfair way to build your traffic is to build up your Yahoo! Answers portfolio. Yahoo! Answers is a web community where one can ask questions and people who have knowledge about your specific question answer it. With over 90 million people visiting and sharing the knowledge, it is a lot of web traffic if you are able to make a mark in Yahoo Answers. You also have the opportunity to link to your website through the secondary box called “SOURCE”. Every answer submitted will be in the yahoo search engine page results. Once you answer the question you can link to your website for more details. Here are some tips which can make your Yahoo answers presence fruitful for yourself and your readers.

Tip # 1: Select the category in which you wish to make your presence felt or the niche which you specialize in and want to promote. Answer questions related to your niche to build yourself as an expert.

Tip #2: Yahoo answers is one of the largest web based community. There are plenty of people focused on answering questions, it is best to answer the most recent questions preferably within the first three hours.

Tip #3: Make it a point to post only relevant website link in the Source box using a URL that sounds similar to the topic. If you are answering a question regarding dog food, the URL should be of a landing page specific to that niche and include it in the source box.

Tip #4: Answer questions as well as you can with specific details. The more authority you have with your answers, the better chance you have of being selected as the top choice.

Tip #5: Read the Community guidelines well before you rush into answering questions to avoid violation of the terms.

Tip #6: Be sure to include your keywords in your answer as best as you can. You can also add your URL using a href tag but if you not done correctly you will not be chosen as the top answer and in some cases your answer may be removed completely on suspicion of link spamming.

Tip #7: Apart from Yahoo search engine your answers may also be picked up other search engines including Google. Google may spider your answers and give you credit for a back-link. So be sure to answer as many questions as you can each day or till you reach your answering limit of 20.

Tip #8: Answering questions and helping other is enjoyable and could get to be addictive. So Stick with it and build an impressive portfolio while developing your back-links.

Tip #9: You can personalize your answer and address the person asking the question by name when you begin answering such as Dear David….

It takes time to master the art of answering niche based questions. Create a strategy where you are answering questions on a daily basis, incorporating your keywords into your answers and linking to your websites within the source boxes you will see results relatively quickly.

Yahoo – Yahoo is (Finally) Offering Some Great Deals

You know, I’ve always had a special fondness in my heart for Yahoo. I first got online back in 1989, and in (commercial) Internet years, that was the ‘early years’. Of course I live in rural Indiana so I wasn’t exactly on the cutting edge with the first surfers, but I got Internet access almost as soon as I could reasonably obtain it. Even then I had to pay Netcomm an hourly rate, and there was no toll-free number at that point! It was very expensive also. I even had to use some clunky browser they had, times have changed, thank God.


Anyway, Yahoo has been around forever, at least in Internet years. They’re one of the only names that have been there, non-stop, since the early days. Others have come and gone, especially after the ‘dot com’ craze had it’s bubble busted back in 2002.

Even though I’ve always liked Yahoo, I’ve never had their hosting, never had a Yahoo Store, never really had anything Yahoo other than a free Yahoo (Geocities) Webpage, email address and I’ve used their instant messaging for years. Mainly I haven’t used their paid services because Yahoo always seemed to charge a little more, for a little less. Their web hosting seemed expensive, but still seemed to lack a little in features. I’m sure it was probably good as far as from an operating and support view point, but I always thought they could do better on pricing.


Yahoo! Search Marketing

I’m not really sure when it happened, but Yahoo has gotten really competitive in their pricing on everything they offer. At least everything that I know a little about.


Yahoo! Personals

So in an effort to promote ‘an old friend’, I thought I would add a few links to some of Yahoo’s very good products/services. I’ve always known that Yahoo offered quality products and services and now I’ll be able to look at them seriously when it’s time to add, or upgrade my online functionality.

Oh, I have also had a Yahoo Search Marketing (Pay Per Click) account for quite a while, and I can attest to the great service and cost effectiveness of using Yahoo for your paid advertising. Personally, I think Yahoo probably has the best user interface of the ‘big three’ in the PPC realm. In fairness, I haven’t used Microsoft’s AdCenter in a long time, so I could be pleasantly surprised the next time I logon there.  I sure hope so.


Yahoo! Small Business

Enjoy  the ‘new’(as far as I’m concerned) Yahoo and their fantastic services that are finally priced accordingly. There’s never been a question of Yahoo’s abilities, and now they offer their top-notch performance at impressive prices. Go take advantage with some of the coupons I’ve listed in this post and on the sidebar of this site.
