Using Yahoo Answers To Maximize SEO and Visibility In Your Marketplace

I have been concentrating quite a bit on SEO and social media marketing lately. Now that Adwords is so difficult to deal with I thought I would start putting in the work to really rank high for my keywords. One tool that many marketers seem to miss is Yahoo Answers. Basically if you are knowlegable about a subject you can give answers to questions about your subject and include up to 10 relevant links back to your websites or blogs. Notice I said relevant links not just spam links. You need to really contribute an original thoughtful response to the question.

I have been trying to rank high for the keywords “ppv traffic” for my site Realppvtraffic.com .(I am already on the first page of Google.) So I went to Yahoo Answers and just logged in with my yahoo email. I then searched Yahoo Answers for the keywords “ppv traffic.” I found a question asking about the legitimacy of ppv traffic and about the popular Mass PPV Traffic Clickbank course. Since, I know something about this subject I just answered honestly and completely. I gave a link to a review of the course, an explanation of what ppv traffic is and a list of networks (including mine!) where they could purchase ppv traffic. I did not just copy and paste an article but I wrote and original response to the question listing my sources.

You may see my Yahoo Answers response to the question “What Is PPV Traffic” here.

So now I have an article and link back to my websites on one of the highest ranked websites in the world. Plus I am coming across as an authority in my field. This just took me a few minutes. Whatever you are promoting I suggest you take the time to search through Yahoo Answers and answer relevant questions to your field. Respond thoughtfully to the questions and eventually you will have some very targeted, quality links coming back to your website as well as increased credibility in your marketplace.

Oh yes, and if you have a blog like this one go ahead and link back to your Yahoo Answers response like I just did for extra SEO and exposure! See you at the top of the search engines!
