Question

How does someone become a top contributor on YA!?

Answer 1

Give really honest, helpful and useful advice and answers

Be yourself and don’t be judgmental.

Don’t give stupid answers like idk , That’s not going to get you a best answer and it’s not advice!

You don’t have to write paragraphs you just have to get the point across.

You would have to be on Yahoo a lot, (On average maybe 3-5 days a week)

Dedicate yourself to one particular category you know a lot about and stay there, Don’t be lead astray!

I think you have to get a 10% best answer status or 45 best answers in a month, I’m not sure about that.

Yahoo are very vague about it and I think they change it regularly

When a Question has expired over 4 or 5 days then vote for yourself which also gives you one point.

It doesn’t matter what level you are on, You can become a top contributor at ANY level.

You can become a Top Contributor in any category EXCEPT Polls and Surveys. I think Yahoo just see that as a matter of opinion.

Good Luck. = )

Answer 2

Only the Yahoo programmers know for sure, and they aren't talking -- presumably to keep people from trying to game the system.  One may suppose that a certain volume of answers, and percentage of Best Answers, in some topic would be required.
