Members Only! Yahoo Answers Traffic Machine Launched

January 21st, 2008 by admin

Exciting news!

All Smart Business Formula Members will now have full access to our latest tool: Yahoo Answers Traffic Machine. Look out for more exciting news. We have some great revenue plans for this tool that our members will be sure to love!

As a quick recap, we launched a Quick Cash Formula for Yahoo Answers. Many of you had problems finding new questions to answer, and the challenge of monitoring Yahoo Answers constantly to find and respond to opportunities was a huge one. This new tool will help solve all these problems.

Members can click on this link (Yahoo Answers Traffic Machine) and login to watch the instructional video if you have not already logged in. You will find a video explaining step-by-step how to use the Yahoo Answers Traffic Machine.

As a summary, the Yahoo Answers Traffic Machine will:

  1. Allow you to type in a keyword or area of interest
  2. Define if you want to see only “open” questions or more
  3. Define which region/country you want to see
  4. Define time when the question was first asked
  5. Generate a list of questions already hyperlinked to Yahoo Answers and you can start typing your answers immediately

This will greatly reduce your search time and allow you to monitor your specific niche constantly. It will give you the latest questions according to your criteria – so that you will always be the first to answer the questions.

We apologise that this tool is only available to full members. While we offer the Quick Cash Formula – Yahoo Answers video free to everyone, only our premium members can use this productivity tool for now.

To find out how to become a Member, you can visit: www.smartbusinessformula.com and learn about all the benefits of our program.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
It has come to our attention that Yahoo is recently clamping down on answers that violate its community guidelines.

One such guideline states that:

“Yahoo! Answers is a place to gain knowledge, not customers. If you have years of experience in something, have a special hobby, own your own business, or if you are a knowledge partner, it’s OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information. However, it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain.”

There’s also a “Report It” flag that anyone can report your answer if they deem it to have violated the guidelines.

To minimize the risk of having your Yahoo account suspended, this is what we recommend:

1) Always post relevant and quality answers
2) Include a link to a website that you own, not direct to an affiliate website. Whether you cloak your link using TinyURL or others does not really matter now, as anyone can report you.
3) If you do not have a website, create a free blogspot.com site, and put relevant useful content there.
4) Then point visitors to affiliate links that you place on your own website.

Blogger.com Allows External URLs Again

January 13th, 2008 by admin

Here is an update from our post: BlogSpot: No Follow And No Links

Blogger.com has taken the brunt of blogger displeasure at their decision to  remove the ability to post comments without logging into Blogger.com

They have back-pedaled from  their stand in You Blog, We Listen.

So, those who want to get a free blog, we continue to recommend Blogger.com (aka blogspot.com) to be one of the better choices.
