Build Website Content with Yahoo Answers
One of the thing that never ceases to amaze me about social media marketing is its versatility. Savvy marketers who are thinking outside the box (air quotes) can use different social media in a wide variety of ways to promote businesses and websites.
Case in point - one technique that I am falling more and more in love with is using Yahoo Answers to generate website content.
Thats right my friends, Yahoo Answers is now good for more than just links and traffic! Simply pose the right question and the YA community will happily save you hours and hours of researching those fresh and educational web posts.
This is especially helpful with those list articles that are all the rage with those kidds at Digg nowadays. Simply go to YA and post a question like, “What are the best websites for the TV show Firefly?” and you will be witness to a deluge of great answers from a wide range of highly engaged, web-savvy, and targeted users. From there, its barely a hop, skip and and jump to having a well-written, well-researched page of content for your site.
Of course this isn’t limited to just Yahoo Answers. StumbleUpon and Delicious can also be great sources of enthralling web content that grabs user’s attention and doesn’t let go without a link.

You just have to be careful not to engage in outright plagiarism of people’s answers, when using Yahoo! Answers as a content “generator.”
