Points and levels help you keep tabs on how active you (and others) are on Yahoo! Answers. You get points for different types of actions, like answering a question. The more points you get, the higher your level.
You need 250 pts to get to level 2 and the best way to earn points is by answering questions and if you want to get quicker to an upper level, you better answer a question as best as you can so you can possibly be chosen as the best answer be given 10 points.
You can also vote for a best answer by clicking the "Discover" tab at the top which will give you 1 pt.
Keep in mind, asking a question costs 5 pts, but when you choose a best answer to your question, 3 points will be given back, so you basically lose 2 pts.
You can always check the scoring system here: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system.php and also please keep in mind the purpose of this site, this site is to share knowledge and not to win points :)
