Recently i have passed through a website discussing about getting traffic for websites. It was talking about generating traffic from yahoo answers. When i go through the comments of that site i found many interested to get traffic in that way. Is it any good way?
The answer is no. But for a newbie it can be a dangerous thing to do. In yahoo answers many people ask questions and any one can answer that. Sometimes people answer the question and leave a link to their sites. But if you go through yahoo answers guidelines you can not post your website link in answers if it is associated with affiliate programs.
The main point is you can not promote your site. Yahoo answers take these kind of attempt very seriously and banned the account as soon as they can. Some people are too fool to make a new account and get banned again.
So what is the bad point here? The bad point is if you do so you will be accused for spamming. Once you are accused of spamming your website will be removed from search engines index, your web host will deny to further serve you and you can not find a new one.
If you use any free web host they will also ban you. So do not blindly follow any tips to get traffic. This type of attempt can get some traffic for a little period of time but will leave along lasting bad impact for you.
Work hard to make your content rich and just follow the basic rules to get traffic
