First of all, what is Quora? Quora is an easy to navigate Q&A website where you type your question, and it gets answered by other people. It was founded in June 2009 by two former Facebook employees. Most interesting and helpful answers get ‘upvotes’. Quora is indexed in Google, i.e. people searching for answers on google might stumble upon your answers on Quora. Lots of CEOs and founders are there on Quora who are directly engaging with everyone and answering their questions.
Here are five great reasons to use Quora for promoting your website:

So here’s a list of all the points you can use to promote your website and give it a boost on Quora:
