I like to post helpful answers and lead them to my website that’s related to their question.
It’s rather interesting because on Google I see a lot of sites mentioning that you can do it so long as it’s not spam.
By posting a highly relevant and helpful answer to Yahoo!Answers one can post a link to the source of the answer.
"What’s your source? Share the sites you referenced in your research and give credit."
My website offers more information about my answer so technically I’m NOT breaking the Terms Of Service. I’m here not to collect loads of traffic but to actually help people.
This is the information that is contained on my health and fitness site:
Many guys who are skinny wish that they could build a muscular physique but don’t know where to start. Below I’ll reveal to you 4 secrets on how you could overcome your skinny genetics once and for all and build a muscular physique.
1. Choose calorie dense foods. Calorie dense foods allow you to get enough calories for muscle growth without having to resort to shoveling large amounts of food into you. Choose high calorie, high carb, high protein and high fat foods. Complex carbs include wholegrain bread, brown rice, oatmeal, potatoes, pasta and legumes. Proteins include chicken, beef, fish, eggs, tuna, full cream milk and cheese. Fats include nuts and beans, olive oil, flaxseed oil and butter. Butter is in fact healthy for you in small quantities in that it doesn’t clog the arteries since it contains short and medium chain fatty acids.
2. Choose compound exercises. Compound exercises recruit more muscle fibres
Actually it is the Yahoo! Answers Community Agreement
that guides what is permitted on Yahoo! Answers.
When you seek to lead users to your website
as the primary motive for answering questions,
you are violating the Yahoo! Answers Community Agreement.
The relevant section is copied here
Exploiting the community.
Yahoo! Answers is a place to gain knowledge, not customers, page views, or dates. If you have years of experience in something, have a special hobby, own your own business, or if you are a knowledge partner, it’s OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information. However, it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain. Also prohibited are solicitations like "Will you add me as a contact?" or propositioning people.
EDIT:
I see you posted the following
"What’s your source? Share the sites you referenced in your research and give credit."

→YOUR OWN SITE is not a research source. You may provide links to sites that
give true additional information about the question and if you are doing this in good faith
to provide the questioner additional information, it is certainly permitted. HOWEVER, if
you are attempting to drive people to your site to obtain new customers who will part
with money, or something of value in exchange for a good or service that is offered on
the site AND YOU ARE NOT providing the information or help without that expenditure
of cash, then you are EXPLOITING THE COMMUNITY. The exception would be if if
the questioner asked where he could buy an item or service that your site or business
has. Then, you would be truly answering the asker’s question.
It is a grey area, Yahoo! Answers staff will determine if a violation has occurred if someone
reports your answer. You will get notified of a violation. If you can accurately defend, with
quotes from the Yahoo! Answers community agreement that your post was not a violation,
your removed answer or question will be returned, and so will the points that were taken
when you were violated.

Yahoo! Answers is community moderated so if those who get answers from you can see that
your site is offering useful information, they will not report you. If you get reported, Yahoo! Answers looks at the credibility of the reporter and the number of people reporting you to
help arbitrate whether you have violated the community guidelines.
Realize that if your primary objective is to drive people to your site and your site has
products for sale, then, explanation or not, you are playing with a violation, much as you
are as motorist when you drive sixty nine through seventy four miles per hour past a
