    Yahoo answers has the no follow tag attributed to each link. It can be a good source of traffic to your site but won't help you achieve search engine rankings.

    Yahoo Answers have recently started converting url links into text based links. However, search engines can detect text based links since they have http://

    It could be possible that Google gives benefit to text based links as well.

    Regardless of the nofollow attribute it is worthy to some degree.

    To answer your original post all you have to do is each post you make just leave a link Yours sincerely, then your name and url.

    Yahoo Answers requires you to have a certain amount of "points" before you're able to turn your text based links into hyperlinks, even after that they no longer allow anchor text links.

    My understand is that, even though it is no-follow Yahoo Answers helps with ranking within Yahoo and Bing, with Google being up in the air.

    Due to changes made by yahoo answers level one users are not allowed to post hyperlinks with their questions. If you want to do that you have to wait until you reach level two to do that.

    To post links in yahoo answers you should have more than 250 points and be in level 2.
    for answering each questions you will get 2 points.After getting 250 points you can provide back links.

    It has been like that since I've joined Yahoo answers. This way, only aged accounts and those contributors can give links.

    How many posts do you have? What level are you? As far as I know there's a certain level for you to do that.

    Yahoo Answers won't help in building backlinks. Posting your website's URL on Yahoo Answers only helps you to get good traffic for your website.
