Yahoo! Answers hits 200 million visitors, worldwide!
Back in October we announced that with your help, Yahoo! Answers hit the 1 billion question and answers mark. At this point, we also had a whopping 179 million users around the world.
Just when we thought our community couldn’t grow any faster, a mere two months later, we’ve hit the 200 million-worldwide visitor mark!
When you break it down, on average, that’s:
- 350,000 new visitors a day
- 243 new visitors a minute
So here’s a big thanks to you, the Answers community for spreading the word about Answers, and sharing with your friends, family, and anyone you meet on the internet about what you’ve learned (and what you want to learn!) on Answers.
At this rate, we’ll hit 300 million in no time!

waw this is cool
i need to those people who willing to support my study
Congratulations!
I give 5 stars.
Nothing but good news from Yahoo! Answers.
First the birthday celebrations — and now this.
I wonder which of the two makes you and YA
more proud: the 4th birthday or 200M visitors?
haha awesome!!! happy birthday y!answers ^_^
oooh i was first comment lol! XD
hahah i beat 200 million ppl to it XD
Congrats, however, not to be a stick in the mud, but how many of these are multiple account users or spammers?
Well I guess Yahoo obtained their goal – get all those people with suspended accounts to open a new account and make it seem as if there are that many users on the website. LOL, ha! ha!
I have learned so much, gained so many good friends and shared so much love, in the time I have been here.
Yahoo has opened my eyes to the world outside.
I thank you Yahoo, for the opportunity to have this experience. It has truly enriched my life!~
YEAH!!!!!
Well, if Yahoo really wants more people then they should STOP deleting our questions and answers for no reason… We want more freedom here.
I find it really annoying when my questions or answers get deleted.
Lmaoo @ Jabril
I think he is right… half of the users were probably suspended and came back with new ids, LOL
yahoo answers, give yourself a pat on the pat for your hard work and awesome website ;]
Now if we subtract all of the suspended accounts from that number, the actual number of users would probably be around 500,000 users.
“So here’s a big thanks to you, the Answers community for spreading the word about Answers, and sharing with your friends, family, and anyone you meet on the internet about what you’ve learned (and what you want to learn!) on Answers.”
If you really want to thank us, you would iron out the glitches that cause pages to go haywire, the draconian way trolls can rid people of their accounts for no good reasons and stop people from playing for points.
But I appreciate the sentiment.
Congratulations! Keep up the phenomenal work!
Best of the best…it help me a lot
I’m going to refrain from commenting on some of the comments that were posted prior to mine. Although I didn’t learn of the Answers community until recently I’ve used my Yahoo site for years. So, in sincerity, I say this community overall is most positive and has made a positive impact on others’ lives. With that being said, Congratulations and there are yet millions to come.
no bodies FErFECT
Congrats! Y!A finally but their are some changes you need to make. And maybe change up the CGs on espically violations.
Yay!
I first found YA answering some guestions I had. Then I saw someone in need asking a question and I decided to join to help out recently. My favorite is regarding relationships, so for me it is about how can I help someone. Isn’t that what we need?
I’m deaf and I can sign language. I can’t hear music.
Congratulations!!!
*winks innocently and sniffs*
And me still not featured user.
LOL
well, many people have multiple accounts, so don’t go patting yourself on the back, just yet.
Awesome!!!!
^_^ wahoo
Joined here on YA about 6 months ago.
And that’s really not true. You don’t know the big number of people that have more than one account. so i tricked you off that bat there, lol
Im actually surprised this didnt happen a while back
Thanks for the update
Since joining Y!A I’ve made some nice friends in USA.
I live in UK. I’ve answered over 1,000 questions so when I reached 1,000 where was the fanfare and the Champagne? Merry Christmas Y!A and everybody else on here.
oh please. i be betting more than half of them are just trolls and spammers who be making multiple accounts just to troll and spam.
i definitely enjoy all your writing style, very helpful.
don’t quit and also keep creating due to the fact it just simply nicely to look through it.
looking forward to look into way more of your web content, have a pleasant day
Actually most of these new visitors are just people making new accounts because theyve been suspended.
i would like to know something about the good aiming many in online
I find that I’m getting chosen more for The Best Answer by the asker’s lately and that’s a good thing.
What I really came here to say though is how much I enjoy being able to remove as many questions from my Watch list as I want at one time now. Whereas before, we had to remove one at a time and wait for the page to refresh before removing one more and on and on and on!
This makes things so much easier for people like me who may have as many as 30 (or more) questions there at a time.
Thanks a lot!
