Points and Levels
To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)

Levels
Levels are another way to keep track of how active you (and others) have been. The more points you accumulate, the higher your level. Yahoo! Answers recognizes your level achievements with our special brand of thank you's!
And finally, as you attain higher levels, you'll also be able to contribute more to Yahoo! Answers - you can ask, answer, vote and rate more frequently.

Secret to earning points is to answer more questions then you ask, and also hope that you get best answer. When you answer a question you get 2 points, and if it is chosen as best answer then you get another 10 points. Asking a question wastes 5 points, well you do get 3 back if you choose best answer.
It has been said on here that when you are level 1 and trying to make the 250 points to level 2 that you go into Jokes & Riddles, Polls & Surveys its easier to amass points from those categories. I would also say that you should choose a category that you know you can answer very well and answer there so you stand even more chance of best answers.
Happy answering.

Click your Total Points to read all about points and levels. Your Profile page tells you how many points you have left to get to the next level.
Asking costs points; you could have read gazillions of answers to this question without spending points, if you'd done a search.
When you do ask a question, always chose a Best Answer (after 4 hours, but before 4 days), to get 3 points back.
Never violate the Guidelines (read them, link, bottom of most pages), as that costs points.
Choose questions you can answer. Read the other answers people have already given; if you have nothing to add, don't bother.
If you're going to answer, read the whole question carefully, including all Details. Make sure you understand what they're asking. (A lot of people answer without really reading; and so don't actually help the person with their question.)
Then write clear, well-written, complete, accurate, helpful answers.
Answer your quota every day, then go to "discover" then to Vote.... Vote your quota each day (please actually READ all the answers, and vote for the one that gave the Best answer).
Just coming here each day gets you one point.
You get 2 for answering; 10 more if you get Best, plus however many thumbs up you get. Voting gives you one point per vote.
If you really help the askers, you'll move up quickly.

Here is the point system: http://in.answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_y...
To earn more points, you must answer many questions, visit yahoo answers regularly, vote a best answer for your own question, try to get your answer voted as a 'best answer' (by giving a detailed and informative answer) ...etc.
The point system explains everything clearly.
What I do is: "Keeeeeeeeep answering!"
But give good answers!
Best of Luck!

Strictly to the point that you wanna know:
Get some "friends", even using the same computer, and start to use them all to give you the points... 5 "friends" and you can multiply your points by almost 100 every day...
Don't ask me if this is legal or illegal, but if you ask me if there is a lot of people doing this.... I would say: YES !!!!
(I know you knew already !!!!)
