Yahoo Answers

I like this site a lot. If there's anything I want to know about any website or any topic, I find this website a great open forum where people discuss and share their own experiences. You can't always find answers to many questions, but most of the times you find honest people giving you adbices about whatever you want to know.

I agree, it is easy to violate their terms. Still, this site rocks and I love it!

Very interesting for finding some ideas and information. The reviewers are not experts usually but you can get some good information and continue on your own to check the facts.

I get a lot of answers from here, the only thing I don't like is that they blocked me from asking or giving answers.

Very useful site for parents and kids to help with school. I had to use it to check on how to help my son with his homework. Could not live without it.

This is for sure a pretty cool question and answer type of site!

It's a good site for input. When I look stuff up I get results from many places and compare. Answers.Yahoo.com is a good source to gather from. It's not always right, but no site is.

Use it occasionally whenever a question comes to my mind and I want it answered :)

This is an encyclopedia of information. I have been using this website since 2 years and I've achieved the highest level (Level 7). Really a good effort by Yahoo for increasing our knowledge and providing intelligent people to share their knowledge with others.

I find yahooanswers to be entertaining at best. You will get some good advice sometimes but you will also get a lot of silly answers or unrelated to the question you ask.

I find a lot of people ask very detailed questions but won't wait around for a good answer. In other words if you write a detailed answer to the person that asked the question they will have already moved on before they see your answer. What this causes is one liner answers and not very good ones at that.

I think if they would make everyone wait a couple minutes before their answers appear it might make some people actually give good answers.

I think you should give it a try and see if you like it.

A great website to get subjective answers to commonly asked questions. Fun, but not always completely accurate.

Yahoo answers is a great idea however some things on the website can be misleading it is possible for anyone to upload an answer to any question. If you would like to ask a research question like "how many wives did king Henry VIII have?" I would reccomend doing some research. If you would like to ask a question more like Where do i buy or how do i build, you might get a slightly better answer as people usually just upload links for these other websites, however some can still be misleading.

To conclude this website is a great idea however i would be very carefull when using this website and back up peoples answers with your own research

Thank you for reading my review

I have asked a few questions, sometimes the answers are very helpful, and sometimes not. Kinda hit and miss.

It is best for light research, finding questions already asked and looking at the answers to give some guidance.

Good site overall.

Website owners use Yahoo Answers to drive traffic and improve SEO - I never understood why anyone would bother posting answers to questions on Yahoo Answers. Then I figured it out - people trying to promote their own websites. These people answer questions all the time so they can put the URL of their website into their post signature. I think some people believe each of these inbound links will increase their search ranking on Google, but these are NO FOLLOW links, so I don't think it will work for them. However, if you answer a lot of questions well on Yahoo Answers you will get a decent amount of traffic to your site (particularly if you get selected as a "best answer"). To me, this seems like a lot of work for 20-30 referrals/day. But I suppose if their posts are very topical each referral could be pretty valuable.
