More answers means more popularity, RIGHT?
I would say, WRONG!
If you are asking this question I am pretty sure you are looking for lead generation using Quora.
More answers certainly get more links but not more leads.
People want to meet expert who can solve their problem and not someone who create noise only.
Experts speak less, they do not speak till they cannot conclude a thing superbly. Speaking is one thing but systematic speaking comes with continuous learning, systematic experiments, deep thought process and willing to solve a problem.
Solving a problem needs loads of mind work, without rigorous mental work out you won't give away any answers that may solve a problem.
Take example of Seth Godin, he writes one blog post a day, in very limited words and gives lots of learning.
Sir Richard Branson, LinkedIn Influencer, writes often, he writes his own blog and sums up things beautifully.
LeoNotenboom writes how to of Windows, system and security. His every post solves a computer problem.
All these people can write as many posts as they wish but they write to solve a problem and not for the sake of writing.
Creating massive content is good but creating meaningful content that holds authority is better.
From my observations I can say writing 1 or 2 quora answers daily is sufficient to gain authority.
Are you a blogger like me who use blogger.com free CMS to write blog posts? Well, writing a permalink is as important as putting water to boil in a kettle over flame for making a cup of coffee. It tastes great when water heats up till accurate temperature. Permalink is like appropriate flame to heat up water for making a cup of coffee. By definition, a permalink is the link url of a webpage that audience refer to others and put on a web page for reference. This is the same page url that displays on the address bar in a web browser. Once a permalink is created, you can never change it. If you will change it the reference url put by others across internet for your page simply will result in an error page, and nobody want to see error page. Search engine ranks negatively such websites and blogs that have error pages. In other words (SEO Terms) it’s called broken link. Search Engine hates broken links.
