In 2010, one of the most talked-about free traffic tricks was Yahoo Answers marketing<\/strong>: answer questions in your niche, link to a helpful page, and turn that traffic into affiliate sales with 20 minutes of work a day. Yahoo Answers closed in 2021, but the idea behind it, helping people where they ask questions, still drives targeted traffic in 2026.
