No Dummy: Using Yahoo Answers for Link Building.

I just interviewed a seasoned SEO professional who was looking to get a job with my firm.

I asked him how he builds links - he said he liked to use Yahoo Answers to build links. I know mistakes happen and people aren't aware of nofollows (see my posting on nofollows) but low and behold I have to say:

No Dummy....Yahoo Answers doesn't allow you to build links as they have no-follow tags. Yes it will show in Yahoo inlink's and sometimes even in Google - but they don't provide power.

And...No I didn't actually call him a dummy during the interview:) Thanks!
