Answer Questions On Yahoo!
Nov 26th, 2009 by Reading and Writing
One of the best ways to do this is to post valuable comments on blogs and forums. Many of the popular ones get tens of thousands of visitors each month and a few well-placed comments can drive significant traffic your way. And as it turns out, one of the very best forums for attracting new and highly targeted visitors to your website is Answers on Yahoo!
Answers is a forum where you can post a question you need answered. You can also provide answers for those questions you have answers to. The beauty of this forum is that you can set up your account with a link to your own website, allowing readers of your answers to click through to your website for more information.
Think about this for a second. Who do you think will be reading the questions you’re providing answers to?Well, it will be exactly those people who don't yet know the answer and those who actually WANT the answer. In other words, they are exactly the people you want to find.In fact, I would say it's the most direct way to find your ideal customer online.
Posting on forums like Answers only becomes successful when you’re posted a number of responses already. There are literally thousands of questions on Answers and a single contribution will do little to increase your website’s traffic statistics. But if you dedicate an hour each day to post answers, you'll be amazed how quickly it builds up and soon, you'll be getting a steady stream of traffic on your front door.
Yahoo hosting also awards contributors with points, earned through continued contributions and positive feedback from other users.Once you're accumulated a lot of points, the confidence factor starts to rise and other users will realize you're an authority.That will only increase the percentage of users who click through to your profile and then on to your website.
