You said "according to google, answer is no". What does it mean ? Isn't a site itself responsible for stating that it is nofollow or dofollow ?

Here's a post from Yahoo Answers: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/...924051610AAEjr7v

In order to cut spam to post a hyperlink to photo bucket, Flickr or any other site you must be at least on the 2nd level, minimum 250 points. When you reach that level: Left click on the URL to highlight it then right click and from the drop down menu left click on copy then go to where you want to put the URL, right click and from the drop down menu left click paste then double space.

But yeah, Yahoo Answers can generate a lot of traffic if done right.

From all I've read, Google would love it if we all acted as if they (Google search and other search engines) did not exist and simply went about getting natural backlinks from related sites, similar to the way we would if we were just advertising or promoting to a niche audience. In this way, Yahoo Answers is a good thing as it puts you in contact with people who are really interested in what you have to say (assuming you are answering the questions in your niche).

I agree with you. I mean who doesn't want targeted users and free visibility ? Yahoo answers is the way to do that

You can't make it dofollow, unless you can convince yahoo employee to do it for you ;). The only reason people suggest yahoo answers is because you get visibility!

As I write this in, Yahoo answers is a non-entity in my opinion It has been overtaken by Quora. Yahoo Answers in my opinion is a non-follow. I think that getting traffic through SEO is still a better option.I don't see however popular Yahoo Answer gets, the possibility of it getting you more traffic then good all regular SEO. You can try other sites that are like Yahoo Answers. There is one called Just Answer and the popular Quora.
