Yahoo Answers 2012 Super-Thread

[AnotherCoder]

Lets post opinions on Yahoo Answers. This can be ideas on how to promote, what attempts have worked, if the traffic is buying traffic, etc.



Are you driving general traffic to adverts or niche traffic?

Gaming Section > Gaming blog w/ CPA Offers?
or
Gaming Section > Gaming blog w/ Content Locker
or
Gaming Section > Gaming blog w/ Adsense

Thats one example.

How come SOME yahoo answers rank well in Google? Will BACKLINKS help your Yahoo Answers rank higher? Do you target high EPC adsense, or hot products now? Can we ask high keyword-density questions and expect for google to AUTOMATICALLY place our links high in the SERPS?

I see Answer Assault is here, which in fact is a fantastic product. I just needed my personal bot to do a little more. Now I am sitting on a bot that can ask/answer/confirm best answer/vote best answer/star as interesting/add user to "friends", etc.

Any ideas on monetizing this program? What is a better angle?

Products w/ Amazon, Ebay, etc?
Blogs w/ Adsense?
Blogs w/ Content lock?
CPA Offers?

Blatant spamming gets accounts suspended. My main idea would be to get 50-100 "TEMPLATES" outsourced, then have it auto-reply with a template and the subject. This effectively would be able to place a GENERAL bit of information and a link.

Has anyone thought about an "information" gatherer? Say you put a product in, it searches information websites like wikipedia, amazon etc which would make your answers even easier. What websites would you recommend to scour information from.

This is from another thread posted by me:

I discovered this not long ago. Here it is:

Put down in Google for ALL questions search:

site:answers.yahoo.com "keyword" 

If you want only open questions put this:

site:answers.yahoo.com "keyword" -top answer -best answer

If you want it down by specific time you can tell google to show recent or 24 hours or week.

I was amazed to find out that a highly competitive niche was getting 1000 questions a day! WOW. Can you imagine that???

Enjoy!

I have never used a bot with Yahoo answers but have always done it manually. Had some good results until my accounts started to get banned.

Me too...I got banned when i steped on contributors toes...

That is why bots will kick their sorry arses!

 

[triage]

Bans will occur, I've noticed you need a ratio of answers with AND without links.

Has anyone found success with selling products or which approach was most successful?

I'm interested in making long term money with Yahoo. Similar to seo.

Never yahoo answers to content locker. That will get you flagged and soccer mom's pissed off. Only link to relevant quality content.

Whats your opinion on PRODUCTS? Products review page, link's to WHAT OFFERS? Amazon? I get it that slow money is better than no money, but this method is starting to seem bust for me. I have the ability to post 1,000-5,000 questions/day. Have the ability to answer w/ spun messages and can cost TONS of answers.

 

[AnotherCoder]

I'm trying to figure out how to make my program auto search for answers automatically.

 

[lsd29]

nice idea thanks...

 

[AnotherCoder]

lsd

thats all the input? have you tried yahoo answers?

i personally know someone making 500$/mo autopilot from 50 well answered questions from 2010. the traffic this brings still converts

 

[Big_0n3]

I have used a while ago yahoo answers in tv shows niche, to content locker pages. I have posted somethign like 2-6 posts until an account get banned but it converts well. I dont know if it still working ( with my niche)

 

[goredbull]

Manually post 2 or 3 question per day and answer them by proxies.Dont always link to 1 website.Link to your nodes in link wheel too

 

[dewaz]

maybe if you got best answer your account will be save

 

[smerf]

Yahoo answers are only useful for smart,unique content you figure out to help people out,your link is only the key.Think about it

 

[JohnnyMantus]

I am getting alot of best answers there...

I stopped my adfly links and am now using
my forwarded INFO domain to put in source..

Alot of free info on that ebook site, so I am guessing
all these people are just running with the free info
and not buying ... Plus, these kids are young .. like 13
to 17yrs old and probably don't have a credit card near by

Not sure how to target older people on yahoo .. Am I
in the wrong section?

This is the best source of traffic. I use it more for my PayDotCom products to sell them, I often prey upon teenagers who want to get rich quick, and I found niche searches that are common amongst these kids...
