Yahoo Answers 2012 Super-Thread

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.

Sounds like we are doing something very similar, I also am fine with doing things manually and while I like tools realize you can't use them for everything.

thanks, I have yet to start but I will do shortly.

I used to do this with my personal account but I really don't wanna do it.

I started making several L2 accounts and never took it further.

Now I'm abandoning SEO and just gonna leech web 2.0 sites instead. This time it will be a mass effort!

If anyone can report back on doing this, that would be great.

Why don't you get stuck in and start testing?

The more the merrier. I will start myself in around one week. I have some sites to get out first.

Here is an update for YA-Amazon.

I Used AA to collect questions that had "where can i buy" in them. Then i went to amazon and found each item that they wanted to buy.
Shortened with bitly so it becomes amzn.to. In source i had 1-2-3 links to amazon. And i mean in EACH answer on a single account 1 or 2 or 3 links, depending on what was the item.
I answered about 25 questions of which 5 got selected as best answer by community. So far in a month that made 5 sales on amazon. But the fricking greedy bastards only pay those measly 4% and the items were under 100 so not much was made.

POINT IS:
1. Amazon links dont trigger bans.(hoewver dont spam)
2. Amazon converts, but i would only recommend it to newbies (to avoid bans) and rich dudes (it makes less money).
3. I use 5 different accounts on the same IP...no problems...i also always ccleaner beofer posting/answering.

I am going to try to "rob" the teens and step into big boy's game on YA...

Just in case you dont know what that is: Dating/Betting/Make Money Online/Health niches...In this niches you got to worry about competition and top contributors.
They immediately flag you answers and even questions. Normal approach does not work for these niches.

Will let you know how that worked in about 2 weeks. HM...maybe i should start a kind of journey and let everyone know how it works??

I read something elsewhere that is definitely worthy of telling you guys here.

First, make sure that you turn off visibility of your answers with your profile to stop some competitors who will try to kill your account by flagging all your answers.

Second, when your questions you answered go into voting, vote for your own answer! I actually looked at some ancient questions I had answered last night that were still in voting for some reason so I voted mine (the profile names were generic for some reason) and instantly I got best answer, lol!

Even if they are not old, you still give yourself a higher chance of winning the vote!

You need to be sneaky and cloak some affiliate links in with some helpful answers. Like if someone asks for the best web host copy paste and article about it. Then post your aff link (cloaked) and hope the newbie will click on it.

I've been having good success just posting my Youtube videos in the source. My niche is ideal for it too

 

[psytrance]

How come SOME yahoo answers rank well in Google?

Not some. ALL my answers get front page of google.

I was thinking that posting other web 2.0 is a good idea. After all, they can't ban all accounts and delete all these links, it's not your site.

 

[Ewan-L]

All you have to do is chose your niche as best answer with a link to your website.

This. Or post your affiliate link. I'm not sure their rules on it though so you can't spam and you'll need to be sneaky.

I have been trying yahoo answers these past couple weeks but i'm really frustrated. no success so far, a lot of challenges. First day I answered about 20 questions only to later find all the answers had been 'ghosted' - i haven't read anybody mention this yet in this thread. Has anyone experienced this? The thing is that you won't know your answers have been ghosted unless you sign out and view the question.

Then, I posted a question from one account, answered it from a different account, different ip, ghosted. Tried answering it from a different account and different ip, ghosted again, and third account and different ip, still ghosted. wtf??

I did manage to get 1 answer live! but it's on page 3..........

All this has been manual. I want to succeed at this! any advice?

 

[bruce.tison]

nice idea thanks a lot ...

i got banned on both my accounts, one was a level 2 and could post freely. The other account i signed up and within 2 hours was banned. I was just posting one link in my source but i was actually answering the comments really helpful way. mega lame.

How long does it take to get to level 7,so you can answer unlimited questions a day? I saw one claim of it being in as little as 33 days,and others saying it takes about 5-6 months.

I think it all depends on how many questions your answering. Don't plan to build your way up there just to spam affiliate links, you'll be banned! Also, you could maybe buy one off somebody.

I've only seen level 2 and level 3 for sale,and I think level 7 would cost around $300,lol.

LOL, probably. If you know what to do with it though then it should be ok.
