    The Top Contributor Badge is awarded for high contributions in a single category. You can have up to three categories. The exact qualifications are kept secret but rumors indicate that it is a minimum of 10% best answers and about 40-50 individual answers in a single category in a month. There are no statistics available on answers or best answers in a category. You will have to keep track yourself if you ever want to try to figure out the system.

    There is no 'trick'. You just have to concentrate in a category, not spread yourself around. And don't stick to P&S (which does not give them). BTW, stars don't give anybody any points.

    From the Help pages:

    'A Top Contributor is a member of the Answers community who has shown that they are knowledgeable in a particular category. Each Answers user can be a top contributor in up to three categories.'

    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/network/c...

    Rumor says you need around 45-50 answers in one month IN THE CATEGORY, with 10% of them being Best Answers. Updates are made on Mondays.
