I've been trying to get one as well. Points & Levels are not the key on getting the top contributor badge, It's how frequently you participate in a certain category like polls & surveys or religion & spirituality. To get the badge your Best Answers (Overall) Percentage must be over 10% and getting a required amount of Best Answers in a period of time. It can be earned by anyone so don't give up :)

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 one category and you, too, can be a "top contributor."
Don't answer in a lot of categories because that dilutes your score in each particular category. Answering in just one or two categories keeps your numbers from being diluted by questions in other categories.
For example, the people on the Pets/Rodents "Leader Board" don't have a lot of "best answers" yet they're on the leader board. If you look at the Yahoo Products > Yahoo Answers "Leader Board" then you'll see that "top contributors" have hundreds of "best answers" in this category in order to qualify. So it's easier to get the ugly orange badge in some categories than in others.
It’s been said somewhere here on Yahoo that you need at least 10% of those answers to be “best answers.” It may take a week or two of answering a lot in a category so be patient, Rome wasn't built in a day.

you're in basic terms approximately there, you ought to develop your terrific solutions over 12 p.c. and guard over 2 hundred factors a week for a pair of weeks yet they shop changing their algos to contain suggested question and solutions so the above parameters do no longer carry continuously :) stable success
