How do you become a top contributor in yahoo answers?

First pick a category,up to 3 except polls and surveys and jokes and riddles You've got to answer loads of questions in that section,and make your questions as detailed as possible to make sure you get BA cos that counts. Noone knows for sure but the general consensus is that you need toget 10-12% for your answers. If you really want one asap,here's how I got mine( I lost it because of a glitch) In your chosen section try to answer the oldest questions that have the fewest answers preferably 0 answers. You're most likely to get BA for those questions. When the question goes into voting(as they usually do) make sure you vote yours as best

To become a Top Contributor you just have to answer a lot of questions in a category, and receive best answers for them, and continue to do that to keep the badge. You just need to find a category that you like and know a lot about, and answer, answer and more answers in that category. Plus you need quality, as well as quantity in all your answers. Being a Top Contributor is not about the amount of points you have or which level you have reached, it is purely down to contribution in a category and the correct amount of best answers in that category. You need to answer questions in 1 - 3 categories (best to just concentrate on 1 category to start with) and obtain 12% (or more, no one knows the correct figure) best answers in that category. The exact number of questions that you need to answer is also not known, but there have been suggestions that it might be 40 to 50 answers a week in just one category, you do not need to spend every waking hour on your computer to achieve those answers, just a couple of hours a day. The Top Contributor badge is awarded on a Monday and it will disappear on a Monday if you do not continue to contribute in the category that you received the badge. You cannot be a Top Contributor in Polls & Surveys or Jokes & Riddles, although you could be the Top Yahoo Answers Answerer for those categories.

A lot of best answers in one or more categories. It's no big deal, some people get jealous of T/Cs and level 7s and report them to get them barred. Just stick around and enjoy the site. No competition points don't get you prizes in this game.

"A "Top Contributor" is a member of the Yahoo Answers community who has shown that they are knowledgeable in a certain category. Each user can be a top contributor in a maximum three categories. You earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a certain section. The more positively you contribute, the more chance there is that you will get a TC badge. Just like featured users or category leaders, it's another way to give credit to community members." The TC badge is awarded on the number of questions answered and best answers received by the user in a particular week, in a particular category. It is rumoured that you need at least a 10 percent best answers in your chosen category to get a TC badge although the actual percentage and the number of answers is Yahoo's secret. All you see and read on the subject is speculation, rumour, assumption, imagination, and guesswork. A user who is on the leader board may or may not have a TC badge, the criteria is measured on weekly participation in a particular category (number of answers and % of best answers in the category). The easiest way to get a TC badge is to concentrate on one category where many questions are asked and hope to get some best answers. The Polls and Surveys and Jokes and Riddles categories do not have Top Contributors. If you have contributed enough to meet Yahoo's criteria, the orange badge will appear below your avatar on Monday morning. It can disappear just as easily on Monday morning, if you don't keep answering questions in your chosen category.
