Q & A websites are a type of social networking experience, connecting people with questions with people with answers. They differ from websites like Facebook and Twitter, in that long lasting relationships are never established on-site.
Yahoo! Answers
Yahoo! Answers (answers.yahoo.com) is a user-driven site where people ask questions and provide answers on just about everything. It's a place were people interact with other people, though does not require the kind of devotion you would need to spend with a Twitter following. You simply seek out questions, and provide helpful answers.
Blurt It
BlurtIt.com is a user-driven site, similar to Yahoo! Answers, though it does not require visitors to register to ask a question, or give and answer. This question-and-answer community welcomes a whopping 400,000+ visitors each and every day, and receives questions by the truckload. People have burning questions that need helpful and relevant answers. Answer them, and drive traffic to your website at the same time.
To make the most of Q & A websites, you will need to:
Find unanswered questions. Search for unanswered questions about the same things you talk about on your website. If you do, you will stand a better chance of attracting the kind of visitors you want to have coming to your website.
Be helpful. If people feel confused, and aren't sure what to do, let them know that you know how they feel. Then provide them with the perfect solution.
Establish yourself as an expert. The response your give will define your credibility. Take some time to write your answer, and then double check your spelling.
Provide a URL. If your answer was helpful, they may be interested in learning more.
