Yahoo Answers Backlinking Policy Changes

On 1st July Yahoo Answers changed the way that people can link back to their own site when answering questions.

Yahoo Answers Update: Level 1 URLs

You now have to be a LEVEL 2 contributor in order for your links to be active. Any Level 1 contributor who posts a URL in their answer will not have an active link.

I think this is a good change as it gives you a chance to build up your account with some legitimate answers before you can start throwing in links.

So don’t see this as a negative thing – instead, go in and post some truly helpful answers without any links. Over time your trust will increase and you can start dropping links into your answers when you are a Level 2 contributor.
