I think the answer to this question really depends on how you go about it. So how do you market through Yahoo Answers without being flagged as a spammer? By answering questions that are “relevant” to your website and by ONLY including your website address in the correct area. The first step to marketing on Yahoo Answers is to find questions that are “Open” and are still accepting answers. Go to the Advanced link next to the Search box and type in your search criteria. Make sure to check Open Questions. If you owned an e-commerce store selling healthy dog treats you could search for terms like “dog treats” or “healthy dog” to find questions that are relevant to your website. For each question you answer offer a unique and comprehensive answer to their question. Even if the question is similar to the previous one you answered you should never give them the exact same response. In the “What’s your source?” box include a link to your website including the http:// in front so your website address shows up as a link that people can click on. Only include your website address and don’t add any other details to make it look like an ad. Preview your answer before submitting it and make sure your website address is correct. I usually like to cut-and-paste my website address so I know for a fact that it’s correct. If you do everything correctly you probably won’t get flagged for spam. In fact, you’ll probably receive lots of FREE targeted visitors to your website for just a few minutes of your time!
