Find High-Potential Quora Answers Using Google Dork

Answering questions on Quora can be a great way to increase visibility for your product or service.

OneUp, a social media scheduling tool, used this strategy in its early days. It now boasts over 100,000 users.

The key to their success? They found questions with high visibility (lots of views) but low competition (fewer answers).

They used the following Google Dork to find these opportunities:

site:quora.com keyword "1 answer" "k views"

Examples of Google Dorks

1. SaaS Businesses

SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses, like referral management systems or newsletters, can use this search query to find opportunities to promote their product:

site:quora.com SaaS "1 answer" "k views"

2. Video Editors

Video editing tools like Veed or RunwayML can also benefit from this strategy. Here’s how they would search:

site:quora.com video editor "1 answer" "k views"

This strategy works because it targets questions with high visibility, meaning they have at least 1,000 views ("k views"), but face low competition, with only one existing answer.

How to Search for Questions with Multiple Answers

You can adjust the search to find questions with more answers. Just change "1 answer" to "2 answers", "3 answers", and so on. Don't forget to add the "s" to "answers" for plural.

site:quora.com SaaS "2 answers" "k views"

This allows you to tap into a stream of highly targeted traffic, i.e., people actively looking for solutions.

Additionally, Quora answers provide long-term value since the answers remain visible for years, continuing to attract attention.

Quora isn't dead

Though Quora may seem less active than before, it's still the 37th most visited site in the US and ranks 47th globally.

According to SEMRush, as of October 2024, Quora had 948.96 million visits, with 327.74 million of those from the US.

And Google is pushing all UGC-sites like Reddit, Quora, LinkedIn Pulse, Medium so it is only going to get more visits.

Make sure to check the visits an existing answer gets before writing an answer. If nothing else, it is a good way to get backlinks to your site. No follow links matter as much as do follow links for SEO.

Top Tweets of the day

Cohort-based courses work on Maven with a massive caveat that you are a big influencer.

A small set of audience will probably pay $500-$2000 per course.

Annie Duke, a world-class professional poker player, has 93 reviews on her cohort that charges $2000. The buyers number must be 2-3x more than reviews as most people rarely give reviews.

That's $500k for <1 month of work.

But if you check other less popular influencers, they get fewer customers and charge on the lower end of $500. And they have low or no reviews. So it only works if you are a massive influencer. The above tweet seems accurate.

2/

Too many people focus on US market. Very few people focus on other markets in 3rd-world countries.

In 3rd-world countries, there are rarely any competitions so if you make it work once, then you can keep the machine running forever. Global market is highly competitive.

Its like trying to win in Olympics. As Shaan Puri once said, "Olympics is a waste of time unless you end up #1."

The harsh reality is nobody remembers #2.

You end up better than 99% of humans in 1 sport but still broke with no other skills in the real world.

3/

Certain words increase conversions on ads or your sales page.

Remember, the law of shitty clickthroughs. It states that all marketing strategies will eventually become less effective over time.

So these words might not work NOW but newer words will take its place. I recently read that the word install in copy converts better on FB Ads.
