How to get people to rate questions more often?

I am a Professional and I answer questions about a lot of technology, so whats the secret to get the people to rate the question and or provide feed back on your answer? I am so tired Of answering and watch my score go down to zip because the people asking the questions are so ungrateful they don't even rate them? any body have ideals? I have 30 plus years in my field 5 years of college and certified in all fields I answer.

Update:

Don't know why you gave me a star for, don't even know what it is for. Thanks anyway. I didn't know if anyone else had ran into this before, I did this on another site where you would get paid for your answers but never took the paid ones just answered them for free, thats what the net is about information and sharing and helping others.

    Nothing you can do about that. I estimate perhaps 25% of the questions have a Best Answer chosen by the asker, the rest go to vote. I think many users just forget to choose or aren't paying attention to the time limit.

    But what you can do is keep an eye on the questions, and when they go to vote you can vote for your own answer. It's not against the rules, and it's morally okay too if you feel your answer was truly the best one.
