WP Answers Review: Yahoo Answers Wordpress Auto Blog Plugin

Why would I want the WP Answers Wordpress Plugin? The question might be: Why would you want to add Yahoo Answers content to your Blog Automatically? Yahoo Answers is the most comprehensive Question and Answer site on the web with thousands upon thousands of Articles and Q & A on almost every subject you can fathom. Now imagine taking those “How to” articles and comments and importing them into a Niche Blog of your creation and then putting new, targeted content, on autopilot.

Sounds great right? Definitely.

In my last post here I reviewed a Wordpress Plugin called Caffeinated Content. Caffeinated Content also uses Yahoo Answers. So you might wonder why you shouldn’t just use Caffeinated Content because it does cost less. There isn’t a problem with Caffeinated Content (CC), but there is a limitation. When you are using CC, it is able to pull content from a few sources. This limits the amount of specific changes you can make to Yahoo Answers content, because CC’s overall options are limited in some ways and you might not always get the exact content that you want with it. WP Answers on the other hand is dedicated to pulling exact content from Yahoo answers.

Here is what I found:

WP Answers has a humanize feature which will post the Yahoo Answers content from any Keyword string you desire to any Category on your Wordpress Blog that you want based on a timeline that you want. You can choose from Daily or even hourly Posts. You can turn this on, off, or adjust as required. The Questions are posted as Wordpress Posts. The Answers are automatically added as Comments to the posts. What this also does is allow you to quickly develop feedback on your Blog and interactivity by taking advantage of allowing your Comments to be indexed by Google and other Search Engines. I personally use the Disqus Comment system which is 100% Free. By automatically adding these Comments to Disqus you also get indexed in Google and other Search Engines by virtue of the Disqus Pagerank and the fact that content in the Disqus Forums gets indexed rather quickly. It turns in to a website traffic machine.

You can create a Plethura of Niche Help sites using this Plugin and technique with ads from Google Adsense and other Affiliate Networks, autoblogging with WP Answers can be a hands off cash cow. You can do the same with CC, but WP Answers has slightly better Customer Support than CC.

Check it out and see. Please provide Comments below and let me know what you think.

UPDATE: I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote this, but WP Answers does not cost more than Caffeinated Content. Caffeinated Content costs $77 and the Elite version of WP Answers costs $59.95. You can get it for as low as $29.95 for 20 Keyword only versions.

Mike,

I just wanted to be clear. You take the comments from WP Answers and add then Disqus? I have not used Disqus, is it just a cut and paste job?

Disqus is a Wordpress Plugin which replaces your current comment structure on your Wordpress Blog and makes it more functional. It's not cut and paste, it is an import function built into the Plugin.

I never thought that wordpress would make a concept like this, but it seems to be pretty useful in gaining traffic and also increasing our SERP.. I might try it out..
