Y! Yahoo! Answers

I’ve been having fun while testing out this resource. It seems

that Yahoo! Answers is not a bad little way to pick up some

extra Web 2.0 traffic… Although it will never flood your site

with hungry buyers.

Head over to

http://answers.Yahoo.com

sometime and give it a go just for fun.

Don’t waste your time Asking questions of course, go directly to the Open

Questions in a category that your niche market would fall under. Read through

any question titles that haven’t gone to voting yet and if your websites or

opportunity would make a good fit as an answer to their question, don’t be shy

about hopping in and letting the asker know about it.

Certainly you shouldn’t just say something obvious like: “This site has your

answer: www.blah.com” No, the point in Y! Answers is to give them instant

answers to their questions.

So spend a few sentences explaining it to them, and end with your link in the

resource box. That’s it, you’re done, move on to the next answer.

I have found if I spend one hour a day doing this for about a week, I can have an

initial boost of 20 site visitors a day for that week and then an ongoing 5 or so for

a long time afterwards.

Surely it’s no great flood, but these are targeted visitors that can keep coming for

a long time. –Especially when your answer is chosen as the best answer.

The only reason I only gave this free marketing method 2 stars in quality is that

these people are hardly ever in the buying mindset… So this tactic is much better

for people who are just looking to feed their AdSense farms than for those who

are doing actual sales.
