What does it takes to attract more people to answer your questions in Yahoo Q&A?

Question

It seems like the weird questions got the most answers than any others. What do you think? What kind of questions do you attempt the most? I personally prefer the questions about relationship and spiritual.

Answer 1

I think what would attract more people to answer my question is that people should actually ask the full question to see before they attempt to answer it. Instead of a partial answer. For instance "Why did they....?" Something like that. I personally think that it needs to be a full sentence like how you asked in your's.

Answer 2

Go for the abstract and shocking questions, something like, Should the government round up all of the midgets and have them all executed? I would never ask that question but it would attract a lot of attention! Not all of it good though, that's the down side.

Answer 3

it just about time and luck
for example when i want to get more answers i ask in specific time because by my practice and experience here i know what time alot of people come here
also the kind of question attract people to answer it

Answer 4

Of course. This may be polls & surveys but seeing "what is your favorite food" a million times gets annoying! I like to answer interesting questions.

Answer 5

I usually try for questions filled with innuendo. If I can get it on the board and people know what I am getting at, then I have accomplished my goal.

Answer 6

You will attract more answers to your question depending on the time of day it is posted mostly.:)
