2. Yahoo Answers
Yahoo Answers is an online community in which
participants ask and answer questions on a
wide range of topics. Like any other community,
we have a core set of principles that must be
followed by all members.

3. How it works
The Yahoo Answers system is easy to use. People ask
questions and you answer them. It’s that simple. A link
to your website appears at the end of your answer.
Yahoo Answers users who find your answers helpful
are likely to click on your link to see what your website
offers.

4. How it works
You must have a Yahoo account to make use of this forum. Once you
have created an account, go to Yahoo Answers and search for
questions that pertain to your niche. The search function uses
keywords just like a search engine, so try looking for the keywords
you target on your website. You can also search by category, but
finding relevant questions using this method can be tedious.

5. How it works
When you first start using Yahoo Answers, you can’t leave a clickable link. You can
submit your URL in text format, but don’t expect anyone to use it. If it’s not easily
clickable, people will move onto something else.
To leave a clickable link, you must have progressed to Level 2. The only way to get to
Level 2 is to answer at least 250 questions. Yes, it sounds like a hassle, but it’s not
hard and will be worth it in the long run.
You can elevate your answer quotient by answering questions in any category –
they don’t all have to be relevant to your niche and they don’t have to be voted the
best to get to Level 2.

Once you are at Level 2, don’t go all over the map answering
questions. Stick to your niche. The point is to build authority in your
topic.
If you are going to answer in multiple niches, create multiple profiles.
Use keyword research to find or create questions. Look for low
competition keywords because Yahoo Answers questions show up in
the SERPs.
Don’t stop with Yahoo Answers; check out Answer.com, AOL Answers,
and Amazon’s Askville as well.
