Why does Yahoo keep suggesting nail polish questions for me?

I keep getting ridiculous suggestions too- ala "is this child abuse" (people who smack their kids) and "am I pretty/ fat/ pregnant" types- perhaps yahoo thinks we need to expand our horizons? I should beat my kids (while telling them they're pretty, of course) while you polish your nails?

I think it TRIES to work somewhat like the adverts on google- using keywords. But...

it's not working too well.

Perhaps some word you've used regularly cross-indexes to something in NP or NPR. Or, perhaps they are just idiots.

To be honest, I've never, ever looked at the recommendations. I just go to the categories I like and have some knowledge in, and look over the questions. Sometimes, when people don't put their full question in that space where it's supposed to go (and so many people do that), the auto system can see keys words that may cause it to pick strange categories. I would suggest you ignore the recommendations anyway, and just stick to the categories you enjoy, looking over the lists of open questions.

Weird it may just be that some nail polish question happen to be in those categories or maybe they think that you would be answering question of that sort. It has not happened to me much although I do get from time to time odd questions since I am a top contributor in yahoo answers and that is a default some times for people.

I feel your pain. For some reason, I honestly don't know why, Yahoo! thinks that I am some sort of expert on yeast infections! I mostly answer questions about R&S and Current Events, soooo, I don't know what that's all about.

I wish I could get rid of that feature.

Avocados & chocolate are very toxic. Look up any bird site on the web & they will have a list of these things. You can get pellets from feed stores and good pet stores. My conures eat & drink what I do in addition to fresh veggies & fruit. In all of my perches ( 7 cages) I buy doweling from the lumber yard & cut the correct length. You will need extra pieces all the time because they love to chew on them. Apple branches are also good for perches and it gives them a treat at the same time. Some of my conures (not caged) sleep in a cat cube, but the rest of them sleep on their perches or in their happy huts. They like happy huts to get into during the day to hide & play. Good luck with your new friend!

it analyzes all ur best answers. and finds words that are common. like nail polish in the question. so ya. maybe u answered liek 4 nail polish questions and got Best answer for them so it automatically thinks your like a nail polish expert. and maybe u are =]

I am glad you found your answer but I have been having similar problems. They are giving me questions about dogs when I don't own a dog, nor have i ever, and I don't particularly want one. They also gave me a number of questions about complex computer problems which I have no idea how to solve other than to say "Google it!" Yahoo Answers seems to think these questions relate to us but they really don't!

It keeps asking me about eggs, and Pluto.

I answered one question on which came first, chicken/egg, and said whether pluto was still a planet.

It's like it only looks at 2 questions, and then assumes that;s your especiality.

It's sooo annoying.

try 2 be more specific like: how to get nail polish out of clothes

Maybe the yahoo gods have looked over your Q & A and have concluded that you are a bimbo.

Sorry, I have no clue.
