Before asking question, READ the whole post FIRST! Understand that you have to spend time to make it WORK.
Right now, I am in total amazement how I manage to do that! I'm sure most of you know Yahoo Answers by now. The method I am going to show you probably exist since long ago but I do think that I have added my own twist to it. As you know by now, Yahoo Answers does have a big impact in search result on several search engine. This impact is higher when there is keywords with low competition, it works even better with niche!
Here is an example what could happen if you know how to exploit Yahoo Answers: (just an example, NOT a keyword that I exploit)
How to do that?
First, keep in mind that this won't work well for high competing keywords... A simple example is "Download movie", don't expect to gain #1 SE spot with that. I will explain what I did and YOU try to see whether you can replicate that with YOUR keywords/niche.
I have a blog which takes advantage of a gap which exist in a certain market. The said keywords have around 27,100 exact monthly global search. The blog is around 4 days old. Originally, I started to find targeted website which have content related to my blog then I would post comment and link back to my blog... it did work. I also realize that Yahoo Answers have question pertaining to this niche. What I did was simple:
- Create another yahoo answer account; I already have one account with high level and 'authority'.
- Use the second account to ask a question which contain the main keywords.
- Use my main high level account to reply to the question while making sure to drop my link. Since I have a high level account, the link was active.
- Wait around 30 minutes then use the 2nd account to make my answer "Best".
Guess what? A day later, if I search my keywords I would be in Yahoo Answer BUT it was in the spot below the top answer (blue area). This morning I was thinking how I could make my answer become top answer (red area). What I did was simple, I reported the other answer since the answer could be considered almost spam. The answer was deleted IMMEDIATELY. I was amazed at that... I thought why not to try to report the question too, I could make up some excuse to flag it as illegal.. It was deleted RIGHT away! (continue read below to know why) The question/answer was 3 years old, mine is only 1 day old!!
When I searched google, it still showed the deleted answer as top but when you visit the said page, you would see that its deleted. But about 2 hours later, I search again the same term... My answer was AT TOP of the Yahoo Answer. It gets better... The Yahoo Answer use to occupied the 5th spot in the search page but right now it suddenly jump to first spot! I checked my website, incoming traffic is suddenly going up!
About the part where I could delete answer/question: In Yahoo Answer, if you have high level and your account have high rate of best answer... then they make your account have more "Authority". It means that your abuse report are processed faster. But I did not realize that they would give me authority where you actually have some kind of mod power... Which I have now. The fact that I would report abuse often crap question/answer also adds up to make my account have more authority.

The answer that I gave was not just a single line + slapped the link on it, nope! I actually write it in the form of a small 100 words article while making sure my keywords was present in it but also other related keywords. This very targeted answer probably made Google happy and bumped the Yahoo Answer from #5 to #1!
I hope that you guys can make good use of that piece of info! Happy exploiting!

I'd like to add that my Yahoo Answer account was genuinely use to answer question of people. I am really on Yahoo Answer to help people and I am always thoughtful and detailed when giving answers. I end up having 40%+ Best Answer. Technically speaking, my account is in great standing.How occupying #1 on Google was possible?
