Hey, that happens to a lot of us, trying to promote affiliate stuff, getting banned to hell and back from Quora, they're alll over folks right now! The ugly truth is that you cannot outrun bans if you are straight-up pushing affiliate links, even with landing pages or Spaces, at this point their algorithms and their moderators are just too good. Rather, you need to completely BEND YOUR STRATEGY, Graduate to giving 100% away for FREE + truly helpful, detailed answers in your sub-niche + real authority and trust.
Refer to your product/service within your answer text sparingly and only if it is exceptionally pertinent after you identified who you are etc. the answer itself never contains actual affiliate links. Save any links for the non-promotional “Sources” section if you absolutely have to, to something that’s actually useful (not just a sales page), but even that’s iffy. It’s about building the relationship first, where people will either be looking for or checking out your profile where you can have a link.

Yeah, Quora has become super strict with affiliate links. Even landing pages can get flagged if they look promotional. To avoid bans, focus on adding real value first — build trust with quality answers, then soft-link through high-quality content. Cloaked or native-style links via blogs or Medium sometimes work better, but always stay subtle.

To avoid Quora bans, focus on giving genuine, helpful answers without promoting anything directly- use a soft approach by linking to value-packed blog post (not a direct landing page), build trust on your profile, and avoid posting the same content or links repeatedly.

Yeah, Quora's really tough now. Best way is to focus on helpful, detailed answers with no links at first. Build trust, let people visit your profile if they’re interested.

If you’re still getting hit after posting without links, it’s not just the URL that’s triggering bans, it’s probably your posting pattern. Quora flags anything that even feels like a funnel, especially if the tone shifts too quickly toward promotion.
You need to slow it down: post genuinely helpful stuff across unrelated topics, mix short and long answers, and let the profile breathe a bit. Once trust builds, drop a soft link wrapped in real value, not as a CTA, just part of the answer.

Quora Spam bots are very strong now, and Quora deletes posts with affiliate links or promotional words. I focus on writing helpful answers instead of spam. If I share my landing page, I embed the link in an image and profile to save my profile.

you can add links in your space without any problem, but main thing is getting the traffic. Which is mostly on other spaces and the platform

Create spaces and redirect people there, put affiliate links in spaces

Quora’s moderation today will flag any answer that reads like an affiliate pitch, no matter how you dress it up. If you want to keep using Quora without bans, you really have to treat it as a pure value-first platform. Write deep, thoughtful answers that solve the asker’s problem, and save any product or link recommendation for the very last line—ideally wrapped in “if you’d like more detail, you can check out my blog at…” rather than “click here to buy.”
Another trick is to build your Quora presence first—answer 20–30 non-affiliate questions, rack up upvotes and followers, then gently drop a single link in your profile bio or on a personal Space page. That way your answers stay clean, but curious readers can still find your landing page on their own.

it's a common challenge right now. Their AI is aggressive, and even landing pages and Quora Spaces are being flagged more often
The most reliable way to avoid bans is to shift focus to pure value and indirect influence. Instead of direct promotion, aim to genuinely answer questions and build authority, subtly guiding users to your profile or a highly relevant, non-promotional resource. Direct affiliate pushes are highly risky there now
