a single source, nothing corroborates it

Work the answer thread after you post it

An answer left untouched loses to whichever one has a handful of upvotes, so ask colleagues for support and never touch the competing answers. Test three, measure for a few days, then reuse them as templates, and budget on a clickthrough in the low single to low double digits with no ranking benefit at all.

The method

1. 01

   Ask teammates and friends to upvote your answers, which the platform tolerates within reason, but never downvote competing answers or use bots or paid task workers.

2. 02

   Squeeze more traffic out of a thread you already rank in by proposing a merge with a similar question, asking existing customers to add their own answer to high-traffic questions, and creating an answer wiki listing the solutions so your link sits above every answer.

3. 03

   Test with three answers, measure for a few days, and only then scale by reusing those answers as templates for related questions so effort per answer keeps falling.

4. 04

   Do not run this for search rankings - the outbound links carry no ranking value - and budget on a clickthrough rate in the low single to low double digits from views.

What it returned
