Anybody know of any sites where I can post answers to people’s questions and get backlinks to my site? (Like Yahoo Answers.)

Thanks, Tony

Try these sites…
Yahoo Answers http://answers.yahoo.com Of course.
Answer Bag http://www.answerbag.com/
Yedda http://www.yedda.com
Wiki Answer http://www.WikiAnswer.com

But make sure you legitimately answer someone’s questions. Don’t make it spammy!

Hope that helps,

most of those sites use the nofollow tag, so they won`t work as backlink`s, on google at least.

Can anyone explain why they do this? "They" including StartupNation?

I can not answer specifically for "them"... but, there are essentially a few reasons to use a nofollow tag:

It prevents the link to be indexed (by Google). Different search engines treat nofollow differently.
It is used to control of page rank. Simply stated, nofollow stops your page rank from leaking to linked external site. - although some argue the effectiveness of this practice.
Similarly, stopping page rank leak to less important internal pages.

However, sites (especially forums, blogs, and directories) that employ nofollow become less valuable to the website owner who posts on the forum, blog, or has a directory link.

In other words, my post on a forum that does not use nofollow helps my site (SEO) more than a post on SUN.

does that table mean that those sites let you put in those things and the reader can link to them?
