Do you ever use Yahoo! Answers forum to promote your articles, such as answering questions posted there and including a link to your articles? I find this is a great way to get more traffic to some older articles. I suppose a similar thing could be done here at MyLot since they don't include referral links or anything that would violate the rules... What are some other good methods to breathe new life into older articles? Some people use signatures on emails and in forums, do you do that?

I've thought about using Yahoo Answers, but it seems like a lot of time spent for the results.. I don't know that, though. I use Twitter and put links to articles on my blog, changing them every so often. Email signature helps some. I don't do forums. I've moderated forums and it's hard to get past the spamming idea.

Do you use Stumbleupon? That has helped me. I read recently that the links on it are used more than any other site.

I actually have never thought about doing the Yahoo Answers until you just stated that. That is something i will have to look into doing later next week sometime. I use twitter to get my articles noticed and then i also ue Craigslist for my articles i have written about in different cities and towns all over the USA. It helps and does get me some good views per month but im glad you brought up Yahoo Answers and i think that will help me get more page views. Thanks for sharing that with us and goodluck.

I had not thought of using yahoo answers to promote my articles. That is a good idea. I usually run into trouble figuring out how to promote them. I tried using the links to them in email signatures like you suggested, but I don't send enough email for that to be of much help to me. I will use your idea and see if it helps me. Sorry I could not suggest anything new for you to try, but I am not any good at marketing, sigh

Your idea but I agree that you have your files properly to the needs of users are not only useless because it does not provide what people search
