Thanks for this great article.

to Metafilter: What is your problem? I don’t see what are you so angry about? … maybe that it wasn’t you who came up with the idea first?…

I’ve found that these sites all provide minimal traffic. Im a top contributor on yahoo answers for example and level 5 and I contribute about 20 answers daily. About 10 of those provide links to 10 different websites of mine and I am picked as best answer 35% of the time. Regardless, my traffic never seems to break more than 10 people a day coming from yahoo answers even though I have been posting on there 6 months now. You would think that since they dont delete the questions ever, your traffic would just keep building, but people just dont ever visit the older questions that have been answered even though they occassionally show up in google

@metafilter

This is not about spamming or self promotion, it’s about building your reputation online, and Q&A services are not only an excellent outlet to do so, but also encourage business owners to take part in lending their expertise in the Q&A sessions.

Your comment is out of line.

I don’t get why Metafilter is so angry (referring to comment #1) but anyway, nice post. Very helpful!

Another Q&A site worth knowing about is uclue.com

http://uclue.com

Uclue is staffed by former Google Answers researchers. And like GA, you have to pay to have your questions answered, but the quality of work is excellent and very professional.

Even if you don’t want to post any questions yourself, Uclue is always a good read.

Anyway, thanks for posting a very good list.
