I’m pretty sure this is still in effect, Max — new users don’t get to post links on Yahoo Answers.

Hi all,

I know this article is quite old and it has been quite some time since the last comment was made .

I am considering to start promoting my website by actively engaging in yahoo.answers. Is it still true that links become active once you reached level 2? I searched for this quite some time but didn’t find any new source of answer.

Thanks for any help,
Max

I agree that this change is positive. Hopefully, this will weed out the spammers that are only looking for a free link.

I am still a bit unclear on if we will need to put a link in our answers or if we can setup a signature file. There was one comment about having your website listed in your profile. Will that option only show up once you are granted level 2 access?

This still doesn’t work. As long as there isn’t a “www.” at the beginning, it will post. Look at the example here… http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylv=3?qid=20090802120213AAEfO5T

It’s still fairly easy to get to level 2. Click on the answer tab and find unresolved questions that require an opinion or an obvious answer. You can reply to 20 questions a day and it took me 2 full days and 3 questions on third day before getting to level 2.

What is going on with Yahoo answers its down again ????

I had a great idea that only the best chosen answer will get the link highlighted . That would stop spam.
