Yahoo Answers: Failed

As a postscript to my last post, I cited how one could use Yahoo Answers as a  legitimate source of relevant traffic. If you have a website in that niche area of the question, I believe it is valid to add a link to it, even though it will be no-followed. Nothing black-hat about that.

When I logged into today, I find that my account was suspended. Naturally, I am pretty miffed. Searching for ‘Yahoo Answers account suspended’, it appears that there are a lot of sad cliquey losers that use this service and run multiple IDs. They can gang-report you to Yahoo for the slightest thing.

If you are going to use Answers then you need to be more stealthy about it. (Mental note to self: not posting a blog post about it is a good idea.)  Some useful advice for those that are going to use Yahoo is found in this blog post although I did follow most of  these points and it didn’t do me any good. Going to start a new account in a few days. Looking forward to answering a few more questions, especially on evolution to annoy a few creationists.
