SUBJECT: Answer Marketing Lesson #4 - Picking Your Answer Niche

{!firstname_fix}

In our previous lesson we talked about the points
system and how you need to attain at least 20 so
you can start answering more questions.

More questions answers equals more links. More
links means more traffic. And more traffic,
equals more sales. So let's move on to the next
lesson about how to pick a specific niche!

To find niche-specific questions that are still
open for answering, click on the “Advanced
Search” link to get started. You will find this
at the top of the Yahoo Answers website once you
are logged in.

Once you have loaded up the Advanced Search page
you will be able to enter in keywords that are
relevant to your niche market. You can also
minimize any time wasted by being certain to only
search for questions that are still open for
answering.

Enter in you’re a specific keyword that best
describes your niche and set the “Keyword Match”
to “Questions” as you are searching for questions
to answer right away.

Next, choose “ALL” when selecting your categories
as sometimes questions may appear throughout
different groups.

Be sure to filter out the questions so that you
are searching only for questions in your primary
language unless you are able to understand and
respond in alternative languages. 

And finally be sure to set the status of your
search so that it generates a list of “Open
Questions” only. There is no sense in searching
for questions that have been resolved (or are
closed) from receiving additional responses.

Once you have completed this step you will
generate a search results page that includes
multiple un-answered questions found using your
keyword(s).

In my example search, I requested the search
engine to find open questions relating to
“Wordpress”. 

By targeting the keyword “Wordpress”, 52
un-answered questions are available to me.

To begin answering questions, simply click on the
links to load up the “Question and Answer” page.

By answering questions that target my niche
market and including a website that provides
additional information about the question that I
am answering I can easily generate traffic to my
site in a few minutes, the time it takes for me
to successfully answer the question. Even if my
answer does not end up being chosen as the “top”
answer, I can still generate traffic just by
using the “Source” box.

By answering recent questions rather than digging
through older ones you are ensuring that your
website receives traffic not only from the Yahoo
Answer center (and those who view your answer
from within that section) but also from the Yahoo
and Google search engine as well! Now that's
power!

In our last and final email I'll provide you with
10 solid tips on how to dominate Yahoo Answers.
You'll be able to take this with you and apply it
time and time again for solid results!
