But I'm extremely surprised that you cannot view the users' profiles. What if you consistently provide Good Answers - shouldn't you be able to benefit from some traffic to your site? I'd also like to see whether the answers I get are from qualified sources - I should be able to check their blog/website surely? This would be an awesome tool for professionals: trawl Answerit, answer the questions that you are an expert at, get rewarded with traffic. Searchable answers that prove you know what you're talking about. I actually asked this very question on Answerit ... and got some pretty stupid replies : http://shrunklink.com/apjx Answerit is a great idea, but right now it's just a toy. I wonder if Media24 intends to make this a serious tool by giving entrepreneurs a chance to do some seriously practical marketing. Nic, I tried out Answerit yesterday too.

Answerit is a great idea, but right now it’s just a toy. I wonder if Media24 intends to make this a serious tool by giving entrepreneurs a chance to do some seriously practical marketing.

Either way, it's good. Ye, think it’s impressive, but makes me wonder if they have people employed to answer? Either way, it’s good.
