YOu can rank an answer if you use long tail keywords. I found that when i use 4 keywords i get on 1st page. 3 kw-2nd page.
What converts best is: services, ebooks, training & tutorials and physical products.
AMazon is best: i got 20 answers in ONE day with 20 + links (in some answers i ahd 2-3 links) and no ban no flag!!! In fact 5 of those answers where selected as BEST by voters or OP
Also services like background checks (stay away..i'll flag ya'
) work fine too!AnotherCoder

Thats interesting MK.
Maybe you could send me a message with contact details.
Have you tried backlinking?
How many clicks/day does this drive you?

You talking to me?
anyways, I never tried backlinks, only pinging.
Also there are not many clicks but conversion is amazing, about 30-50%.
I get about 30 clicks/week. And i have only few answers i "sell" the rest are transitions from LVL 1 to LVL 2

Get 2 Yahoo accounts. Ask a question in your niche. Wait for a good answer, copy it on your second account, but post an article on your site before and then choose your own as best answer. Put CB ads on it or just Adsense.
^^ Only good use for Yahoo Answers.

I had the most success with several level2 accounts, one proxy assigned to each in AnswerAssault, no account has been banned so far. I generally post a question and wait, then take the best answer and rewrite it a little and post it as my own answer via one of the other accounts and select it as best answer. In my experience you should always let a few 'external' answers in, don't be the first to answer, at least not all the time.
It's important to not just post answers with links in it... most of the answers I post are in fact without a link, I just drop a link in about 20% of the answers, usually using the source field. -- By the way, is there an option to use spun text in the source field in AA, too? When I click on Spintax it only inserts them in the answer field.
I use a mixture of shortened and normal URLs, don't post one URL too often. better to use different domains and set up redirects. When there is a good question I answer, I sometimes write a very professional answer and use the URL of the moneysite itself - backlinks. I'm very careful, though... only post answers that really match the context, write them in a personal style and so on. Don't spam too hard, use your brain and try to make things look kinda natural.
For monetizing, I mostly use Adwords and different affiliate programs.

What should be the ratio of posts with and without links?
This is a very interesting thread. I have always wanted to revisit Yahoo Answers.
I am quite good at answering questions and actually enjoy it, to be honest. My only problem is my fear of bans.
Yes I can create multiple accounts on multiple IPs but I have always worried about domains. It seems that you must register a great many of them to avoid repeating them. And if you just post a redirect domain, other marketers know your game and flag you. Deeper links are better but then your conversion sucks.
I would also like to stay well under the radar to avoid other marketers who flag your answers. I have heard that you should avoid answering recently posted questions and instead look for older, unanswered ones.
I always laugh when people say that the people on Yahoo Answers are young. Yeah right, try telling that to people posting questions about hemorrhoids lol!
The truth is that the reason people write like children on there is because many of them are dumb and gullible hicks. They will believe anything so they also make pretty damn good buyers too!
I am definitely going to revisit this shortly, especially as I can mix it up with another technique.
I will create dozens of l2 accounts myself. By the way, it is real easy to get to L2. All you have to do is rate tons of questions and then answer polls. No thoughts required! In about 3 days you can get to level 2.

Amazon products would work great with backlinks from yahoo answers but also lots of information questions on there so other sites will do good too

I don't think you Need any phone verification. I use to sell level 2 account on fiverr and I found that yahoo accounts were easy to get but hard to maintain.

What I don't understand is some's obsessions with tools. Surely as soon as you start autoposting or mass-posting, it's so easy to get a ban.
I'm going to do this 100% manually. It's not hard. After working so many niches over the years, I am an expert and can give great answers. I can easily give 30 high quality answers per day so that's at least 6 links. Just want to avoid the ban hammer that's all.
The cool thing is that I have two totally different sets of IP addresses that I can use for this as an extra precaution to stay under the radar. Flagging competitors is my only risk.
