If you made a website I know how hard it is to promote it. You can try to submit it to directories and all, but there is another way to promote your website for free. This involves some work but the outcome will be good if you do it the right way. You can do this by joining Yahoo! Answers. How? Read the rest to find out.

Yahoo Answers is a community where people place questions and anyone can answer them. It is a grate website for discovering and learning new things, but also a good place to promote your website. All you have to do is answer questions.

Go to the category that has to do with your website. Look for questions that you have articles about on your website. Answer those question, but don’t but all the information there. Make a it short, make sure the user can understand it exactly. If your answer is really god, then it will be chosen as “Best Answer”.

OK! But how will I promote my website this way? Simple! When you answer a question there is a filed called “Source”. Just put your website URL there. This way, if the person wants more information it will go to your website. But there are also more other people that want answers for the same question, so when they will see the question, they will also see your best answer, so they will see the link to your website=>they will visit your website.

Like I said, this takes a little time and need some work, but the traffic will be good. I done a little experiment. on Tuesday and on Wednesday answered to 5 questions/day ONLY. This is a total of 10 questions answered. From these, 3 have been chosen as “Best Answer”. From Tuesday and until Friday I received at least 3 unique visits from Yahoo! Answers. If you answer daily 20-30 questions, and you have only 5 Best Answer/day, then you could get some really nice traffic.

But be really careful because there is a high risk you could have your account suspended if you do this to much. So post only good and useful answers and also post 5-10 answers that don’t include links to your website. This way there won’t be a pattern and it will be more difficult ban you.
