Answer people’s questions on www.answers.yahoo.com

How it works: Yahoo Answers lists commonly asked questions regarding a particular topic. You answer a question in your site’s niche/category and stuff the useful and informative answer with keywords. You put your link as a ‘Source’. Yahoo’s own user database has tons of people that would click your source link so you get direct traffic.

Pro: Free. Great way to tap into Yahoo’s user base. Good for targeted direct traffic. Keyword-driven search results yield targeted traffic.

Con: The links don’t use text titles so SEO value is limited to begin with. Yahoo has since made the links NO FOLLOW which destroyed these links’ Google SEO value. Works best for frequent users not drive by “contributors”.
