How to become a top сontributer?

How do you become top contributor in a category?

  • Hi, I'm sort of new to Yahoo! Answers and I've seen kids literally 15 year olds, etc being top contributor for a category? I was just curious how do you become a top contributor in a category? What level do you have to be? How many questions do you have to answer from the specific category? Just curious. Thanks in advance!

  • Answer:

    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. To be a Top Contributor you have 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 to the category that you got 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.

Hi! ● To become a contributor you should get a better response rate of 10% (at least) in any particular section or category. Approximately 25 best answers in two weeks. ● You must actively participate in the category of choice. ● Choose a category where you have experience ● Try to answer a lot and correctly. Contribute all you can to the questioner, so that the user is satisfied with the response ● You can excel in three categories (taking the best answers, the largest number). ● However, the orange sign, is not permanent, may appear or disappear depending on their participation in the category. ● Therefore, if you stop being active the poster disappears ¡Gяєєtįηgs! ♥ Jσℓiє ƒσяєvєя ♥

The Top Contributor badge is given to users who answer a lot of questions in up to 3 different categories and get a fairly decent amount of Best Answers in these categories. The Top Contributor badge is usually given to users who actively answer questions in particular categories. To get or keep the badge, one must continue answering questions and getting Best Answers in the categories that they wish to have the Top Contributor badge in. The formula for becoming a Top Contributor is kept a secret by Yahoo and is kept secret so that it is not just a thing for people to gain who don't deserve it. People believe that you need to have a minimum of 10% Best Answers and answer a certain number of questions in a certain amount of time, but that is just speculation. There is no set amount of answers that you need to get or percentage of Best Answers that you need to get and no set amount of Best Answers that you need to get. You also don't have to have a certain amount of points in order to get the Top Contributor badge, although I have rarely seen a Level 1 Top Contributor :). If you do not remain active and actively answer questions and getting Best Answers in the categories that you are a Top Contributor in, you can lose the badge. As was said before, so long as you stay active in the category(ies) that you want the Top Contributor badge in, and you keep on getting Best Answers in that category, you'll keep the Top Contributor badge :P. Jokes & Riddles and Polls & Surveys are the only categories where it is not possible to get a Top Contributor badge in. Hope this helps :)
