How do you become a top contributor?

How to become top contributor on yahoo answers?

  • Answer:

    A Top Contributor is somebody who answers frequently in a particular category and achieves a minimum Best Answer percentage with those answers. There are no extra privileges in being a TC. While the exact formula to earn a TC badge is a Yahoo! secret, it is known that in order to earn one you need to answer a minimum number of questions weekly in a particular category (perhaps 30+, and Polls & Surveys and Jokes & Riddles are not eligible categories) and get a minimum BA% on those answers (roughly 12%+), kept up for a few weeks in a row. Categories which are not very busy will require fewer answers to earn the badge than one that is popular. Once a TC badge is earned, you will need to maintain the same minimum level of answering or you will lose your badge within 1-4 weeks (5 in rare cases).

According to Y!A : "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." Y!A has never said what the precise requirements are. It's commonly accepted that you need to answer a lot of questions (50?, 100?, who knows...) in a category and get Best Answers on a certain percent of them (probably 10-15%) each week. You can have TC badges in up to 3 categories at a time. There is no TC badge for the Jokes & Riddles and Polls & Surveys categories. TC badges are based on your recent activity, not your level or total points, how long you've been here or your overall BA :o)

There is no exact formula for how to become a TC, but the basic idea is that you can become a TC by answering a certain number of questions in a single category in one week, and getting a certain percentage of Best Answers in that category (around 15%). You can't become a TC in Polls and Surveys or Jokes and Riddles.
