Leave everything else as is, and press Save Search.

Now save another 2 searches. If you are working in different niches, then you can use the keywords for these as your saved searches. Alternatively, save searches with different keywords for your main niche. For example, if acne is your main keyword, then you could use 'pimples' and 'clear skin'. The purpose now is just to get another 20 points, but you will use these saved searches again later.

Drive High-Quality Traffic To Your Website with Quora

So go and start answering! So go to your saved searches, and start answering questions. Change this to date order, with the oldest question at the top. Every time you go back to this page it will remain sorted that way. Answer the '4 Days Ago' questions first, as these are about to go into voting — I'll explain the relevance of this below. Remember you are not leaving a link back to your site yet, but it is still worthwhile leaving a good answer. Please do not spam! Apart from the good karma it will bring you: So do a search for questions in voting, and choose a best answer for 25 different questions.

Again, I think it is a good idea to stay within your own niche. But you don't need to spend much time on this — just quickly run through it. After you've done this, you will have a total of points. This is the maximum you can get for yourself on your first day. But, if any of your questions get voted as best answer, you get an extra 10 points. Sometimes the asker or other people will vote your answer as best answer, but mostly this does not happen on Yahoo Answers.

So we need to stack the odds in our favour a little bit: The purpose of this account is to vote for the answers you gave with the original account. Remember, you get 10 points for a best answer, so with just a few best answers you will be above the point threshold, into Level 2, and able to leave links back to your own site.

This is why we answered 4 day old questions just about to go into voting — that way you can vote on those answers sooner, and get up to Level 2 much quicker. As you can see, many of these are now 'In Voting'. The person who answers the question is allowed to vote for a best answer as well, so open every question in voting in a new tab just right click and 'Open link in new tab' and give your answer a vote. Now, leave all the tabs open, and sign out of your Yahoo account.

Sign in again under your second account, refresh all the tabs right click and 'Refresh all' and again give all your answers a vote as best answer. All your answers in voting will now have 2 votes — usually enough to get them selected as Best Answer. Answers stay in voting for 2 days, so your answers will not be awarded Best Answer until this 2 days is up. At this stage you have 2 choices. This is what I recommend. Or, if you are very impatient, since you are now in day 2, you are able to answer another 20 questions and vote on another 25 answers — that will bring you exactly to the magic points.

Either way, for the remainder of this guide, we'll now assume that you are now on Level 2. This is where the fun really starts: The Traffic Strategy You can now answer up to 40 questions per day, and post a link back to your source. But beware — this is where you need to be smart about how you use Yahoo Answers. At this point, most people just post a single link back to their site at every opportunity, resulting in their account being suspended almost immediately. Then they go to the Warrior Forum and tell anyone and everyone that it is a waste of time trying to get traffic from Yahoo Answers and it flat out does not work.

Well, all the more opportunity for you and me. I'm now going to show you the right way that has worked for me for years, and is still working for me. The model itself is very simple. Every day, you answer all relevant questions asked 4 days ago, and leave a link in the source s box back to your site. You also vote for your answer twice on all the questions that have gone into voting. It should take you no more than 30 minutes, and probably less when you follow my advanced strategies set out in the next chapter. BUT, to work properly there are certain 'Golden Rules' you must follow.

I'll go through these now, and also explain a little more about each of the steps. The Golden Rules 1. Only answer the questions asked '4 days ago' To get started, go to your saved search, which should be sorted in date order, oldest question first asked 4 days ago. If the question was asked 4 days ago, it nearly always means that the question period is about to close, and it will soon go into voting. Sticking to these questions only is very important, and here is why.

Provided you do as I say and give genuinely helpful answers, the asker will never report your answer, even if it has a link to a commercial site. But if there are other people who are also using Yahoo Answers to get traffic, in other words your competitors, there is a real danger that they will report your answer, just to remove the competition. Personally, I think this sort of behaviour stinks. As someone who uses Yahoo Answers to drive traffic, I have NEVER reported others doing the same thing, even if they are directly competing for the same traffic. If you'll excuse the expression, it's just not cricket.

But, like it or not, there are unscrupulous marketers — usually spammers — who will do this. By leaving your answer just before the question period closes, you are much less likely to be spotted by these people, and so much less likely to get your answer flagged. I have seen others recommend that you answer questions as soon as possible after they are asked, so that the asker is more likely to click through to your site.

While this is probably true, the asker is only the tip of the traffic iceberg here — the real prize is in the thousands of others with the same query searching Yahoo Answers or Google. These are the people we are really after, and the timing of your answer will not affect that — being chosen as Best Answer is what really affects this, as you'll see below. Depending on your niche, this might mean that you can only answer a few questions each day.

But don't let this put you off. There is a cumulative traffic effect from Yahoo Answers, and even answering 3 or 4 questions each day will bring a significant amount of traffic to you site. Only answer questions that are specifically about your niche Depending on your niche and your choice of keyword, the search will probably throw some questions that are include your keyword, but that really are nothing to do with your niche.

For example, when my search term is 'acne' — look at one of the questions it gave me below: You do not need to get 40 links every day to get traffic using this method. Build a smaller number of links, but make them work harder — you'll see how below. So for example, links to http: And as well as linking to internal pages on your main money site, you should also include links to all the other 'web properties' you have in this niche.

Follow ShoutMeLoud

As part of your SEO strategy, it is a good idea to have as many of these as possible, all linking back to your main money site - things like Squidoo lenses, Hub Pages, Facebook pages, guest blog posts, articles you have published on article directories, etc. The exact mix of links you post on Yahoo Answers is not that important. But don't be too prescriptive about this - it is not set in stone, and you should always direct visitors to the site that best answer the question.

Just be sure to mix it up a little. Provide value Always give a useful answer that is genuinely helpful to the person asking the question. Do not spam, do not give a copy and paste one line answer. Only include your link in the source s box, not in the answer itself, and do not mention your website in your answer. If you give useful information, readers will click the link below to read more without being prompted. Without being blatant, do bear in mind what you are trying to do when you are answering. As well as providing good value, you need to use the answer to gently presell whatever it is you are selling on your site.

For example, continuing with the acne example, if you are promoting a natural acne program on your site, you want to be steering readers away from chemical treatments and towards natural, holistic treatment methods. Make sure the message of your answer and that of your site correspond. Get voted 'Best Answer' This is a crucial part of this strategy. As I've already said, the main prize here is recurring search traffic either from with Yahoo Answers itself, or from Google.

To make the most of this traffic, you want your answer to be shown directly below the question. Most people will not read beyond the first answer — especially if it is informative and links to another site. Luckily for us, there is a way to do this: So the task now is to get as many of your answers as possible to be Best Answers. To do this, follow the instructions in Step 7 again. As before, because you have answered questions near the end of the open period, they will be open for voting very soon, and the best answer awarded 2 days later.

In most cases, 2 votes will be enough to get you Best Answer. But sometimes — usually in the more competitive niches where others are also using Yahoo Answers as a way to drive traffic — one of your answers will need more votes to secure the top spot. When this happens, you have 2 choices. You can simply register more accounts and cast more votes — it is very quick to do, especially if you leave all the tabs open as I described above in Step 7.

This way, if you register enough accounts, your answer will definitely win. Or you can just ignore those few answers where you do not get best answer, and concentrate on answering more questions. Remember, even without getting every answer to the top, you still will get a lot of traffic — this system does have an amazing snowball effect. Don't get hung up on small setbacks Inevitably, occasionally an answer you give will be reported and removed. As I said before, this is generally done by an unscrupulous competitor. And sometimes, several answers will be reported, and your account will be suspended.

It is really annoying when this happens, but you need to simply accept it and move on. You can appeal the suspension, but it is usually unsuccessful, and in any case is not worth the effort. Apart from the actual answers that were reported which will be deleted all the rest of your answers will remain intact. You should already have a second account that you have been using to vote. By now, because you get 1 point every time you vote, it will probably already be at Level 2, so start using it to answer questions, and register a new account to vote with. It is annoying, but it is a only a minor set back.

Just keep going, and watch as your traffic builds and builds. Advanced Strategies We have now covered the basics of how to get a lot of traffic from Yahoo Answers. But there are a few advanced strategies you can use to ramp up the amount of traffic you get even more, to make getting that traffic even easier, and to make sure that your really monetize your traffic once it lands on your site.

Drive High-Quality Traffic To Your Website with Quora

Increase traffic 1 - incorporate keyword research Because ranking in Google is one of our aims, it can be very useful if you target certain keywords in your answers. To an extent, this will already be done for you - the keywords will already be in many of the questions. But you can increase the chances of your answer ranking by also including your keywords in your answer, ideally near the start of the answer - but make sure it reads naturally and is not 'keyword stuffed'.

It will also help to have the keyword in your link. So your source would be http: This will have the added advantage of increasing your click through rate. To do this, you need to have your keyword research done before you create the pages or posts on your site.

Use the questions asked as a starting point for your keywords. Then use the free Google keyword tool to refine your keyword research. You are aiming to find keywords or phrases in your niche with relatively high search volumes, but low competition. Advanced keyword research techniques are beyond the scope of this report.

But do remember that a good buying keyword will often be much more profitable than a generic keyword — even if it has far fewer searches. And it will often be easy to rank for, especially in Yahoo Answers, but could bring you in a steady flow of buying traffic for years to come. Increase traffic 2 - use different keywords Remember to widen your net to include as many keywords as possible in your search for suitable questions. With the acne niche for example, a search for questions which include the word 'acne' will miss all those that include pimples, spots, bad skin, etc.

Start with your main keyword, then drill down further. Also, as well as just typing in keywords, try putting in some authority sites in your niche in the website field, as shown below. This will often throw up keywords you had not thought of before. Save time - create a Yahoo Answers swipe file Create a list of commonly asked questions, and write out detailed answers that you could give to each one. This will save you a lot of time, because the same sort of questions are asked again and again. This does not mean that you just cut and paste the same answer every time. Each answer should be tailored to the specific question, and it is a good idea to personalise the answer too, as if you are directly speaking to the person asking the question.
