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, can 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 don’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.
You must answer questions frequently and have at least 10% best answer.
If you're very diligent, you might get it by the time you're at Level 2....
you have to get alot of best answer 8-10 percent so chyea hard if you don't get it xb
By being a top contributor.
You have to get a lot of best answers in a certain category.
So answer a lot in ONE category and go on everyday and you should have it in no time!
When you search for "Top Contributor" in Y!A, several results say the same thing: the Top Contributor requirements were purposely set as ambiguous, so no-one really knows what the are. But people have made guess-timates on what they can be.
I can't give you exact requirements but here's my statistics before I saw my badge suddenly show up:
65 Best Answers out of 178 total = 36.5% Best Answer Ratio
With the majority of those answers in the Comics & Animation section.
Been a Member for 36 days.
Level 3 member with 1306 points.
you must get at least a 10% best answer ratio in one category, and it is best to earn at least 300 points a week.
