Does the YA autoposter plugin still work?!
I've had small success with YA. Previous account managed to get to level 2 (links work) and sold a few CB products, mixed in with genuine answers of course. No ban. As soon as I pushed a weight-loss - bam! Busted - banned.
I've since got a new account to L3 and link a lot to other sites. YA actively encourage you to put links to authority sites. As long as keep answering other questions with links to other non-sales sites you can get away with posting your own, however - don't ever link straight to a landing page or CB offer. You will see far greater success if you set up a hubpage that is info based / loaded, and "suggest" (sell sell sell) your CB products on there. Look for a question that is asked a lot and just keep citing this other website "that you found" (your hubpages). You won't get that much traffic, but you cover a few areas:
1. Your Hubpages have your adsense / ebay / hubpages ads running.
2. Your hubpages do the pre-sell
3. YA 'busy-body-mums' won't look at your answers as spam and report them.
It's definitely not going to make you rich or earn much, but if you are going down the YA route - this is one approach that can lessen your chance of being banned. Build a few related reasonable quality hubpages around your niche and send them to the different CB offers.
*I didn't actually realise that if you report spam you become a contributor. Thanks for that info
A few pointers to avoid being binned:
- You will still have to keep answering other questions and link to non-sales sites. Wikipedia is always a good one for that of course.
- Keep the spam % to about 15% max.
- You can link direct to your site if the domain name doesn't look spammy.
- Try to avoid URL shorteners if you can, but if you do - use Tinyurl and give the shortened link a good name. If you're pushing Amazon aff products it's fine to use bit.ly as they're shortened to amzn. something and don't look spammy.
Don't expect to make a great deal out of this method though, and don't expect it to be passive income - it wont.
