QuoteI wouldn't say that Yahoo Answers will offer you floods of traffic, but adding it to your daily stops might be worth playing with.
Yahoo answers does incredibly well in the search engines, and by contributing to keyword targeted threads about your genre of music, and then sighting related articles or blog posts of your own as the source, you should be able to pick up some traffic.
Just look at some of these questions that came up when I searched alt country within yahoo answers... It certainly wouldn't hurt to get your url in front of these folks.
Don't over do it and site yourself in every question. Just jump into the dialogue in an authentic way and site yourself when applicable and even occasionally link to your URL in the answer if it's relevant. The nice thing about Yahoo Answers is that you can answer a question so quickly. A couple of minutes is often all that it takes.

Thanks John!
So if I understood right, I should go to yahoo answers and answer the question with one of my artciles or if I have a blogpost about that? For example i found "what is the best 10 Linkin Park songs?" then if I have an articles about this(I will write one actually) I can just answer the question and add my article as source and that will drive traffic to my squeeze page if they read the article and my infobox with the link to my squeeze page?

Yes, that's the most common way of using Yahoo Answers for traffic. The main ways of using YA, at least that I am familiar with are doing as you mentioned, linking to your site via your profile, and sometimes literally just linking directly to your article in the answer (but don't over do that). For example, if the question was "what are the lyrics to ________" and you just linked to a post of yours that contained the lyrics (and maybe a call to action at the end for some free music that was similar) that would probably pass as relevant and get you even more traffic. But don't over do this, and don't always link to the same site if you can help it. But there is nothing wrong with just playing with it and pushing the boundaries a little to see what you can get away with.
