This is probably old news for the vets among us but may be handy for some folks.

When you want to generate the occasional backlink (and don't we all?) via Yahoo answers locating questions for your niche can be tedious. If you do the search on the keywords that you are using and tweak it via the advanced options to pick up only Open questions where the best answer has not been chosen over the last seven day you get a nice little list from which you can pick and choose.

To save the effort of going through that process again and again you can pick up a feed for that search and dump it into google reader. Don't grab the feed from the address bar - that will give you all open questions and you will drown!

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find an RSS chicklet that gives you the feed you want - add to your feeder, filter into a suitable folder and then all you have to do is scroll through when you have a few minutes to spare (!!!!) and answer a question or two.
