My hand slaps my forehead once again. I'm sure putting the word "secrets" in your title still works, but I must say I'm finding it awfully tiresome these days. Anyway, I've been actively answering questions at Yahoo Answers for over a year and I fail to see why you'd need anybody's tips as to how to use if for promoting your cause. You simply need to answer questions with some frequency-- and not just related to your business. You'll naturally answer questions related to your expertise and there you can link to your own blog or website if you have something related interest. It's better to link to internal pages of relevant content than to your main page.
I suppose the gray/black hatters probably set up questions themselves through other accounts, but I that seems pretty low to me. I'm sure you'd get booted if Yahoo figured it out and I'm sure they're watching.
