Backlinking from Yahoo Answers

Many buyers on Seocheckout are looking for backlinks from Yahoo Answers. I'm assuming these backlinks are no follow and don't pass link juice. However, Google would still know about the backlinks, so maybe they are good for SEO. Do these type of Yahoo Answer backlinks help with search engine rank? Are these Yahoo Answer backlinks just for traffic generation purposes?

Google considers & gives a small credit to the link when it comes form Q & A websites. Questions & Answers websites are something like review sharing websites.

For Ex: If a person asks for, Do you familiar with Seocheckout? Is it some kind of FAKE?
Answers for this questions will be a great review about that website.

Heard a news recently that Google gives more priority to YELP website listings - Yelp is a review sharing website/local business directory. So I think Google gives some value to Yahoo answers too. Also No-Follow link from PR 8 sure increase the search engine ranks & traffic.

I don't understand about the nofollow policy. I gather that yahoo no longer makes links someone puts in an answer as dofollow, so while you get traffic you won't get SEO juice?

That's a common mistaken - A nofollow link will not pass PR juice, SEO juice depends mainly on PR of the website your link is placed on (this case Yahoo=high authority) and the relevance, which depends on the context your link is placed in.

YaHoo Answers have been cracking down on this. They have incorporate the no follow links because of all the spam, in saying that they have increased the number of moderators there, so it's heavily watched.

I have put my YaHoo Answers listing on hold because of this. They can smell spam miles away. I didn't get banned or suspended, I just thought I wouldn't do it for a while so I can build my post count up more without having anything removed.

Just be careful folks!
