How do you become a Top Contributer?

Derrick Cacioppo: To be a top contributor you need to be knowledgeable in up to thee category's. the exact formula is kept secret by yahoo but the common theory is that you need a minimum of 10% best answers in each particular category and is said to be reviewed weekly. the top contributor badge is not permanent and can be removed at any time.So choose the category's you feel you can get best answer and research every detail you can find with links to add to the answer and do not answer questions you dont think you will get you best answer (it will lower your percentage of best answers).http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-d8pH0dcoRKeB12yOcnU......Show more

Sook Hershkowitz: I don't think they ever said exactly how many best answers you need in a category to be a "top contributor." I suspect it varies from category to category depending on how popular the category is. Just pick a category that you're good in and answer A LOT of questions in that category and you, too, ca! n be a "top contributor." Don’t believe people when they say “just answer 50 answers in 30 days” or stuff like that. Yahoo keeps it deliberately vague so they never promised an exact figure to anyone. It may, as I said, vary from category to category. However, I have a rough idea of how long it takes to become a top contributor because a friend of mine made it after she answered all her questions in only one (1) category for a month in order to earn that badge. She doesn’t log on as often as I do so that only amounted to about 85 answers but she made it. She had a 30% “best answer rating.”It’s been said somewhere here on Yahoo that you need at least 10% of those answers to be “best answers.” It may take weeks of answering a lot in a category so be patient, Rome wasn't built in a day. While I made it to “Top Contributor” in two weeks of answering regularly in certain categories, I do log on every single day. It’s harder to make it to Top Contributor ! if you only log in now and then or, when you log in, you donâ€! ™t answer a ton of questions.Just remember, concentrate your energies on ONE sub-category. Don’t answer all categories say, in Health, but concentrate on Alternative Health or Women’s Health or Men’s Health or Diet and Fitness. PICK ONE SPECIFIC CATEGORY AND STICK WITH IT! The biggest mistake most people make is they spread themselves too thin....Show more

Lawanna Livsey: The Top Contributor Badge is awarded for high contributions in a single category. You can have up to three categories. The exact qualifications are kept secret but rumors indicate that it is a minimum of 10% best answers and about 40-50 individual answers in a single category in a month. It is difficult to figure out where you stand since there are no statistics. You must tabulate all your answers to figure the best answe! r percentage in each category.§...Show more

Pei Heatherly: okay here's the way -select a category and answer what you can (hopefully a low competitive category) then take advantage of those ZEROED answered questions. Then come back in a few days and well since they did not select a best answer you select it for them. That's right vote your answer best answer.
