How to use baking soda. What are uses for baking soda?
How to use vinegar. What are uses for vinegar?
How to boil eggs. How do I cook a hard boiled egg so that it is not hard to peel?
All are popular searches. The Yahoo equivalents are all junk. Yet mine just lay there twisting in the wind...
Good morning, Simone. Happy Wednesday.
I'm going to post all 3 links on my blog. The post title will be, "Popular Questions and Answers".
Nobody else responded. Probably because your answer summed it up quite nicely.
Well, I did the blog post. Done worrying about it. Moving on to my next quandary.
Google is run by geeks and businessmen. What would they know about baking soda, vinegar and eggs? Probably nothing.
And should I have made the thread title "no-send" instead of "no send"?
I so want Google to slap Wiki answers, Yahoo answers and the rest of the rubbish! Apparently, 100 words of factually inaccurate nonsense written by a seven year old is of more value than a couple of thousand well written and well researched words on the same subject.
Bring on the Wiki, Yahoo Google slap I say!
Well Webanswers got slapped pretty hard - so hopefully these other answer sites will get slapped soon too!!!
I hope so, I'm sure they have there place for a quick answer- but most of them are rubbish. It was only this morning I stumbled across a best answer. The question was something like (paraphrasing here so not exactly) why should we save natural resources? And the answer, because God gave them to us. Unbelievable.
SimeyC and Hollie T (hey, it rhymes), you got that right. I guess all we can do is keep plugging along. On a positive note, at least the fiasco two weeks ago turned out to be a lot less disastrous than we thought it would be.
What's Unbelievable is:
How many are hanging out here for a Good Slapping!
You are right. The junk has been hanging around for a long, long time; yet Google still seems unable to deal with it. Incompetence? Hidden agenda? Something else? I don't know. Seems darned odd though.
You got that wrong it should be in the Q&A section
"How many people are hanging out here for a good slapping?"
I bet it would be a top question in no time!
A note about the op. How does one both lay there and twist in the wind at the same time? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hi everyone,I'm just starting out in the wonderful world of Hubpages questions and answers. I've had a look through the help centre and only found a little info....basically that Q&A's are meant to be a very mini hub type thing, where you can earn the 60% for all views on your Question and...

I have a suggestion. Lately, I've been participating in Yahoo Answers. I try to answer any question I have a thought about, especially those that I have experience with. I have answered several questions that coincidently have hubs about similar topics, and in my answer, I provide the tracking link...

So how do I fix this? Google hates me, and I know it.

Just wondering if anyone here uses Y!Answers as a traffic source - it's a nofollow link but if you've ever googled a question you'll see there's nearly always a Y~Answer near the top of the first page. Meaning that when people view that page chances are they'll click that link. Good idea or not...

If I am getting traffic from dogpile but I have never listed anything with them, could I safely assume that this traffic is from some sort of backlink from someone else? I'm not real savvy in this traffic resource stuff other than reading where it is coming from. Now, I am curous to know...
