Definitely don’t think it’s too hard to get up to level 2, if you are using it to help people as well.

I think your comment policy works pretty good with spammers. Just like Yahoo Answers went the right direction with their links. But I don’t think there should be problems with people adding relevant comments. Even if they have a link, and are really contributing, it isn’t a big deal. I think if they are adding to the conversation well, let them link. It’s straight links, or ones that say “Good article” that bug me.

Definately true with new users….I push yahoo answers as a minor, but nonetheless, value-adding SEO tactic and tell people exactly the same thing —> post answers that truly help people and slowly work your way to the next level until your links become active.

How do you become a L2 user then? Does it go by the number of answers you’ve done?

And, once you’ve become a L2 user do all your previous links suddenly become active?

Thanks

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
