I am a big fan of yahoo answers as this is a very good place to generate extra money whenever you want by following a simple strategy. I have made over $2000 this years working part time here. Recently I launched a short marketing campaign of a clickbank product on Yahoo answers and earned $213.08 all working part time and answering questions of people. It took me about 30-45 minutes finding, writing and posting answers of questions relevant to my niche product. Below is a summary of my what I did to write my own little paycheck.

1- I selected a product from clickbank marketplace in this case it was a Get Pregnant Naturally ebook.

2- I did my keyword research. For this purpose I used ezinearticles and searched articles for the keywords “get pregnant naturally” and then clicked the first article that came on the next page and then when the article loaded, I scrolled down to the Most Viewed Articles for keyword ideas. If you simply click any one of those articles and see the number of times that was read, you will be amazed.

3- Then I make a list of 5-10 keywords/keyword phrases, signed in my Yahoo Answers account and posted the question with my main keyword in my question and also in the body of the question. Many yahoo Imers know this optimization tip very well.

4- I keep asking questions with a reasonable interval and at the same time give answers of some other questions other than this niche I am targeting in order to be part of this community and also avoid ban from Yahoo answers community.

5- Within next 72 hours after posting all my questions I request some of my friends to post a answer to my question and for this purpose I provide them my own written answer material that is also keyword rich and Affiliate URL. I usually get a .info domain name and redirect it to my affiliate product. When they are done. I choose their answer the Best and Voila……. I get good exposure in search engines. My keyword targeted question is at the top of google and Yahoo for many days. I then create links around them by social bookmarking, submitting a video to all major video sites, creating an rss feed of that yahoo answer page and submitting to major rss directories and submitting them to some high PR web directories. This way my question remains at the top position for many many days. And makes me money silently.

I invite all my fellow BHW friends to test this strategy and make some extra bucks.

nice share never thought of this most people prolly would of kept this to themselves

I always try to share generously, my friends.

do you have any numbers? like views/sales. I think it's a good method but the CTR won't be that high though

This is a good idea. maybe it's time we come up with some sort of private network where we can help each other asking and answering questions on Yahoo Answers.

I like goodrat's idea. I'm up for it.

Seems like a lot of work, and I know yahoo answers frowns upon links. Also, level one accounts cant post live links . I've read stories of ppl losing accounts due to this even if the answer is helpful.

@website

Don't worry about losing accounts. If you follow my idea without being greedy, I guarantee you will make money. Moreover, blackhatters never fear any ban. If you lose one account, make an other. I have already given you a tip in my above post to avoid ban. You must work naturally. If you keep asking questions targeting your keywords and don't answer questions, your posts will look like spam. Penetrate into Yahoo Answers community, establish yourself and then make money. Though it needs, patience, yet it is well worth it.

how much your making per day from yahoo answers?

I do this as well. However, I do it full-time, which adds to the SEO value of my websites immensely, making the income residual.

Pretty cool marketing concept, no?

PS: it has been shared many times before

This concept is not new but kudos for posting this up here. The only thing that bothers me is that doesn't YA have this new level thing going on where you can only post links when you're at level 2 or something? or is this not an issue anymore?

They are, but provide traffic for long amounts of time, I still get 2 or 300 hits a day to one of my sites from YA from a question/answer I did 3 months ago

Thanks for the info. I did not realize the traffic stayed around that long.

> submitting a video to all major video sites

Wondering what kind of videos you are using to supplement your Yahoo answers.

Moreover, can people here share which tools they are using for YA account creation and those Q&A activities. I remember there are a few YA tools around but won't know which ones work best (and updated).

Nice Info!

Well nice thread. thanks for sharing. Well I will use this with my twist to it. Will let u know if it works with me. Well i am sure this is not set it and relax technique as I know how much you would have worked on it.

I will give this a try. I have started posting using 2 accounts and I will use them (and create more) when they reach level 2. Thanks for the great idea.

Yep he's right. In fact, I have seen traffic from answers I've posted about 6-7 months ago.

It's good traffic. However, it's very time consuming to get to lvl 2 and above (where you can post links) - and much much easier to get your account banned by the answers community.

Most likey the same people that go around flagging on CL.

I would agree - if you have the time to put into this, and establish yourself in the answers community, this method is very do-able, however, your account and question/answer will be taken down if you are just throwing up your aff links

Where the OP says he gets his friends to answer the question, why not use level 1 accounts to ask the question and use your own level 2 accounts to answer with helpful replies?

So level 1 might say, "where can I find this product for sale?" and
your level 2 account comes in with "You can find a review on this products at mydomain.com - I hope that helps"

Then level 1 chooses it as best answer.

That sounds like it would work to me muchacho...

I'm going to test this and see what happens.

Please do and report back, that would be great.

The only way I see the level 2 accounts being deleted, doing it this way, would be if someone sees a pattern emmerging but also notices that you're affiliating.

Some people are just genuinely helpful and/or want their points to accumulate and rise up the YA rankings ... yet they don't do any affiliates at all, so you could quite easily be masked as one of those and get away with it for ages.

I'm new to this.

I write this down on my notebook(a book not computer).

Let's see if its work on me.

This method has been shared several times. However, it's feels great to hear some personal success story from time to time. Inspires all of us! Keep going. Hopefully some of us will join the race as well

This is good, I've used yahoo ans to promote my site but never thought of it for cb.

Yeah, only level 2 up has live links. One thing to get yourself to level 2 fast is by voting for your own answer on in voting questions, if no one else vote and no best ans is picked then yours will be the best answer automatically and thats 10 points + 1 point for voting, you prolly only need to do this on 5 questions the you'll be level 2.

I may be wrong but think to become level 2 you need something in the region of 250 points. And you can't vote on your own answer either (with the same account of course).

Well, thats my exp anyway, besides you dont start from 0, you start from 150 something.

Could also be bec Im using regional yahoo?

This is only worth the time if you have a software to use...such as Yahoo Answer-eye...otherwise too time consuming..

If anyone is interested in promoting a product on Yahoo Answers in the anxiety/panic attacks niche.. my products converts like CRAZY on YA.. but not on PPC for some reason.

The affiliate link is http://YOURIDHERE.stopanxmin.hop.clickbank.net
Sales page: http://www.stopanxietyinminutes.com

Post all your responses in the 'mental health' and 'psychology' boards.

I guarantee sales here. cheers

Hi LurkaLot. I've sent you a PM.

Kerry

how many times do you use each .info domain in your yahoo answers as redirector towards clickbank product? is it something like a single .info domain for a single yahoo answer?

Great topic. I sell level 2 YA accounts as well. PM me

I tried this for a few weeks when I got my first clickbank product up and running. I got a few Best Answers, and several dozen visits, but not a single purchase. In fact most visitors stayed 5 seconds or less on teh landing page.

If anyone is interested I have 5 level two YA accounts available for sale, PM for info

I donot think we can do in this successfully at this time.

This method still works. I made $100 this week promoting CB products.

hey!
first post, so yay!

Two questions:
1. How effective would this be if I dont get a .info domain name, and would this make it more likely for me to be banned from Y!A?

2. Also, are there any good affiliate sites that don't require an advertiser to have a website (like CB) but pays into a paypal?

thanks!

You need a domain to mask the affiliate link, other wise you will get flagged immediately. Seriously, if you are gonna make some money you need to spend some money. So a couple of bucks for a domain should not be an issue.

The only network I know of that does not require a website is ClickBank and I am not sure if they pay via PayPal.

How does the asker select an answer as best answer?
been trying to figure this out for a while.

Why only have one account and depend on friends? It is way easier to simply have several accounts and switch ip adresses. Just use several accounts and promote several products at the same time. Just make sure to wait for a few responses from other people and then post your own answer and a day later choose it as the top answer = )

OK, thanks.

yeah, CB does not pay via paypal... i found http://www.profitistic.com/

looks like what I want. does anyone know if this site is legit?

thanks!

EDIT: decided not to use profitistic........ also found https://www.click2sell.eu/ and again im not sure if they are legit / pay well. I feel like i've seen click 2 sell on these forums before, but i'm not sure... If any of you have experience with either of these sites, that would be very appreciated.
