visible platform as it give other member opportunity to know who asked
the questions-hence they could view your profile and follow you.

In Quora there are different niches where people post questions. These niches are called topics. It is highly recommended you follow topics related to the content you post on your blog, as it’s good for generating SEO Traffic.
The advantage of doing this is that whenever a person posts a question in a niche you follow- Quora notifies you.
You can also write articles on trending topics and link back to your blog
There are also numerous answered an
unanswered questions on Quora from which you can source questions to
answer. This can be found just below related topic.
Whenever
you select a question to answer-make sure you have an in-depth
knowledge of the answer you wish to provide. By so doing you would place
yourself as an authority in that niche, hence making people to follow
you in Quora. This subsequently leads to incremental traffic to your
blog.
Secondly, for questions that has already
been answered in your blog, post part of the answers to the questions
on quora and link back to your blog.
N/B: The answers provided should be
detailed or your answers may be voted down. This is because members may
see it as self promotion.
