Quora Ads - Anyone using them?

Quora is a great platform for asking questions as well as searching for information, it is becoming more popular every year with its current worth around 1.8 billion dollars, which is HUGE!

Enormously growth over the last couple of years and I'm glad I've been there right from the start. Over the years I personally made a lot of money with Quora offering services like "answering questions on Quora by including your link in the answer".

Anyways, I recently notice a couple of new features. Like Quora Ads - they basically appear under the questions with a title and a description, the title usually is also the business name of the advertiser.

So Quora finally decided to go monetize the platform, because for the longest period they focused more on the actual platform, growing it, improving it and not looking to turn a quick profit.

So, has anyone here used Quora Ads? Are they worth investing into? Do they offer a decent ROI?

Interesting! I've not used them myself yet no but with a platform like that, with as many users as they have, I'd imagine it would be quite lucrative and you'd get a good ROI too! But if, and only if, your ad wasn't obnoxious like some are. You could probably create an ad that appealed to peoples interests on there though. Especially if, and only if, your ad did appear on questions and underneath questions that were related to that ad. I'm just wondering though, would you be able to advertise SEOClerks and use your affiliate link? Or would you have to link to your site or a landing page that did? If you could use your affiliate link that would be truly awesome! But even if you could only link to a landing page that could still be quite profitable as well.

Will look into this in some more detail. I've found their official post about it on their blog. And there's a slide on SlideShare about it too which does go into some detail about how it would work. But I was more looking for costs of the ads. But it also appears right now that the ads are only able to be placed by big well known brands and not everyday people like you and I. But it's in BETA right now and eventually they may roll it out to everyone else. We'll have to see. Could be good. Thanks for the headsup! Quora Ads - Anyone using them?

I have just seen some of the ads recently and till then I didnt have idea that Quora is also giving the chance of advertising! I dont know much so cant comment but I feel like it would not be much profitable!

What makes you say that just out of interest sumon?

I guess it would take experimenting like with most ad platforms.

I think it could be quite good since SEO and Internet Marketing topics are very huge topics on Quora. If someone posts a question about how to rank in Google or something for example, and underneath their question there is something that says "Rank high in Google on a shoestring budget" or something then that would likely get you clicks. But it all depends on what they are charging but yeah. Quora Ads - Anyone using them?

Yes I know but I felt like, as Quora is kind of knowledge sharing site so may not be profitable as like other sites.

I think Quora ads may be effective on some answer. But other than that their placement makes me wonder if people even click on them. They are shown at extreme bottom these days. And you just can easily ignore them. Ads should be at the top. But that's not possible there. I think they need to add the ads near the answers or under the question. That way they can reach more people.

Like most of the other commenters, I have also started seeing the ads. I am not ready to use them yet, I don't use Quora consistently enough. Actually, I need to follow the advice of a fellow Quora user and update my credentials on my profile. It may help me with my online writing work elsewhere around the web, Will monitor this discussion as I would love to know if anyone has had success using the Quora ads.
