If a question is removed from Yahoo! Answers, do all of the links to that question, links on Google, for example, also get removed?
Search engines will try to determine if a page has gone away depending on the result code the page gives when accessing it. For Yahoo Answers that means that if a question is removed the server returns a not found reply (404), this will remove the link from a search engine index after some time.The same is not true for links that are on any normal page, these will stay up until the author of the page fixes the link, but they will not work anymore.
