Yahoo Answers - Millions of Answers Added Each Month Worldwide
April 27th, 2008 at 9:30 pmSource:CenterNetworks
Yahoo Answers is one of the most simple ideas online today - someone posts a question they need help with and others post answers to the question. The question lives for a short period of time which helps to keep the experts moving on to new questions looking for responses. It’s like the world’s largest how-to forum.
When we discuss Yahoo, Answers seems to be overlooked but it’s clear from the chart below that it is one of their most powerful properties. Matt McGee was able to corner the Yahoo team into sharing the latest stats on Yahoo Answers and I’ve embedded his chart below. Wondering just how large Yahoo Answers is? 77 million answers in the last 7 months in the U.S. and 150 million worldwide. These numbers are answers not questions as each question will have multiple answers.
Is Yahoo Answers the largest online expert network? Google recently closed their Answers property and Answers.com isn’t so friendly in usability. Yahoo Answers also can help with social media marketing and Matt created a guide for how to use Yahoo Answers for social media effectiveness. My guess is that the overall percentage of social media marketers is small compared to those helping just to help another person.
