How Yahoo! Answers Can Send You Web Traffic

Another way for you to drive traffic to your site and get newsletter subscribers is by using articles to answer questions on [1] Yahoo! Answers.
If you prefer, you can of course simply type in new answers every time you see a question related to your niche. However, as time goes by you’re likely to see the same questions pop up again and again.
You can make it easy on yourself by copying and pasting a well-written article as your answer.
But here’s how to really make the most out of posting on [1] Yahoo! Answers…
GET involved in the social aspect of the site. [3] Yahoo! Answers allows you to set up a profile and build a network of fans and friends on the site. If you intend to use [3] Yahoo! Answers regularly, then you should definitely use this feature.
Doing so makes you more familiar to others on the site and positions you as an expert in your niche.
GO to the site multiple times during the day. There are two main ways to find questions to answer on the site.
One way is to search for your niche related keywords. This doesn’t tend to be a very good method, as the site currently doesn’t let you sort questions by date (or time) posted.
The second way is to visit the appropriate category and browse for questions in your niche. This is a better method, as questions are displayed with the most recent questions on top. Since you want to answer as many questions as you can when they’re first posted, it’s a good idea to check the site periodically during the day.
GROW your mailing list by citing your website as the source of your information. [3] Yahoo! Answers allows you to post links to whatever source you used to answer your question. Naturally, you’ll want to post links to your own site.
However, you should be cautious when doing so. Do NOT “plug” your site in a hyped up, commercial way. Instead, leave your link as the source of your info, and include a note about how even more information can be found on your site.
Yes, you’re still giving people a reason to click through to your site to join your newsletter – but you’re not being quite so brazen about it.
GIVE generously and post thoughtfully. The better answers you post on [1] Yahoo! Answers, the more likely it is that people will rate your answers highly. It also greatly increases the chances that your answer will be chosen as the best answer – and that’s a good thing, because once the question is closed, your answer (and your link!) will appear just under the question.
In Summary: Using [7] Yahoo! Articles is not only a way to get backlinks and drive traffic to your site; it’s also a way to establish yourself as an expert in your niche. That means that the more you post, the more traffic you can expect to receive. And the more traffic you get, the bigger (and faster) your list grows!
