Making money on WebAnswers is no different than making money with any other content driven site online: You simply create good quality answers and content which will, in turn, draw in search engine traffic. The search engine traffic will then click on Adsense links that interest them, so long as the content they found on the site matches well with their original search query.
If you're going to rank well in search engines, there are several things that you can do that will make you more money online, and, by extension, on WebAnswers:
1) Write about things that people for which people are interested in searching. Making money online, popular products and services, mortgages, etc. are all topics that get a lot of search engine interest. Understanding search trends and sticking to those topics will also help drive traffic. It doesn't matter how well written your answers are, if no one is searching for them, you'll not make money online.
2) Write about things you're interested in and have a broad knowledge base. Having the ability to offer accurate information on questions you've answered will make sure to keep your reader's interest to the very end, rather than hitting the back button and going on to the next page. If they're interested, then they'll click the Adsense links to get to complete their search.
3) Make sure that your sentence structure, spelling and syntax are correct, and the articles you write are keyword rich and based on current search trends. Try to write articles and questions that are at least 400 words long, so that they're properly indexed by search engines.
4) Make use of the tools that can make you more money online, and on WebAnswers:
Google AdSense: Visit the Ad Review Center and see which topics are getting the most impressions and the most clicks, and concentrate more on those topics.
Google Adwords: Know which topics and keywords are bidding the highest, so you can concentrate on those keywords.
Spell Checker: Copy and paste your answers and content into a Word Document or Open Office document to use spell checker and count how many words you have. Again, the more your work is indexed, the more likely you are to make money online.
Google Search Trends: This is available from Google, and you can figure out what people are searching for, and if its on an up trend, or a downtrend.
If you follow these tips, you are sure to maximize the money you make anywhere online, in addition to your WebAnswers. The more impressions you get, the more likely you are to capture clicks, and the more money you can make. You won't get rich quick, there is no magic bullet. It takes time to make money this way.
