Still Looking for Yahoo Answers in SERPs
By Matt McGee on Sep 28, 2007 | comments (2)
Just wanted to drop a quick reminder that I am still very interested in any search queries you come across where a Yahoo Answers page is visible in the SERPs. The reasons for this request will become clear soon enough.
James Zolman of Apollo SEM in Idaho emailed me today with a Yahoo Answer appearing in the Google SERPs for [induce labor pressure point foot]. I was able to mess around with the phrase and still get a Yahoo Answer for the shorter query [induce labor naturally].
Cool! Thanks, James! And you bet I’ll gladly link out to any readers who help like this.
Update: Cari McGee, the best Tri-Cities real estate agent you’ll find, emailed to share these queries where Yahoo Answers shows up in the SERPS:
[get bubble gum out of hair] (don’t ask; I have no idea, either)
[how long does alcohol stay in your system?] (as I was saying)
[how fast does hair grow?]
[life expectancy of goldfish]
Yes, that’s my wife, and yes, she reads this blog. And I did promise a link to all readers who help with this, after all. Oh, by the way, my 9-year-old son has made his first “guest blogger” contribution to Cari’s real estate blog. I am positive this is how Stephan Spencer’s daughter got started.

Hi Matt, I have a Yahoo SERP result for you! I googled “eleven-sided,” to find the name of an eleven-sided figure. The first result was “What is an ELEVEN sided figure called? – Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers” and the fifth result was “What do you call an eleven sided polygon? – Yahoo! Answers.” This doesn’t happen very often, at least that I’ve noticed, and I’m always looking up weird things! Thanks and I enjoy your blog,
Vanessa
