What is Quora?
Quora and Pinterest: Growth Furthers the Threat of Social Media Marketing Tools
Social media marketing tools threaten search engine marketing, in general. Facebook and Twitter both offered a way for businesses to reach a large audience at a low cost, which is why they became so popular. Now, Pinterest and Quora are coming in with similar tools that offer even more flexibility when it comes to picking your target audience.
Quora is a question and answer site. It differs from other Q&A sites like Reddit because it has an upvote/downvote system that highlights knowledgeable or helpful answers. Users can also collaborate on their posts. Users ask questions anonymously, so there are no implicit biases to skew the results.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantages of using Quora and Pinterest are that they’re considerably less expensive than advertisements on other social media platforms. They’re also more personal, which can encourage users to click on articles or revisit the site in the future. On the other hand, some advertisers feel limited by the way search keywords are tagged onto articles.
How to Answer Questions on Quora
Quora is the foundational part of your marketing strategy because it provides credibility to your company. The strategy with Quora is to answer questions posed by other people on the site. With this in mind, don’t just go with whichever topic you feel like answering — research each question thoroughly before giving them an answer. Make sure to really read what they are asking, explore topics related to the question, and create a response worth sharing with others.
What Social Social Tools Do You Recommend for Building Relationship?
I would recommend Quora and Pinterest in that order. Quora in because you can just read and browse in general and find topics and discussions that in general match the context you’re interested in, while getting points when people upvote your answer when you add input to a conversation. This could be through an answer, comment, discussion post, or discussion question.
Pinterest operates on a micro-network model where people follow others they like and share content. Sites such as Pinterest provide users with exclusive insider tricks for generating more traffic from these networks.
Academia is coming too
Also academia is coming also to the field of traffic source on different search engines worldwide.
