Why do those who have a photo on their account tend to have more chances of being selected as best answers?

I noticed that those with photos of themselves on their profiles always tend to have a higher best answer percentage rate than those without. Imma put up a picture..........Do you notice that also?

    I haven't noticed. I don't have a picture (just an avatar) but have had several best answers. I will pay more attention, it seems likely that the picture draws attention to the answer.

    Hi Mike...I don't think a photo avatar necessarily improves one's percentage of points, rather answering questions thoroughly and thoughtfully as well as politely can make a difference as well as having impeccable knowledge of the answer given too.

    Most of the people normally skim through the questions without photos but read the ones wiyh photos or avtars. therefore i recommend that u to get yourself one.
