Why are your trust points not added to your total points on WikiAnswers?
Your total WikiAnswers contribution points are calculated as the sum of all of the contribution points you have earned. These include first answers, edits, organizational actions, questions asked, and community contributions. All of these points come under the heading of "Contributions" in your WikiAnswers profile. Trust points are slightly different. Contributors do not directly earn these points through their contributions; they are awarded trust points by other WikiAnswers users. Therefore, trust points are not counted as contributions, and do not add to the contribution points total in a WikiAnswers profile.
What are the numbers beside the usernames in WikiAnswers and why are some 1 or 5 or something and mine is zero. how do I advance mine?
The numbers beside the usernames are Trust Points. Trust Points are points given by other contributors who think a contributor has done an outstanding job on WikiAnswers. The amount of points is the amount of people who trust you and your contributions. There should be a 'recommend' button by your name if you made the last edit in an answer. You can recommend yourself once. To advance your Trust Points, just make high-quality answers and/or contributions to WikiAnswers and someone is bound to trust you.
How do you see your points on WikiAnswers?

What can you do with Trust Points on WikiAnswers?
Actually nothing. Trust points are just an indicator of how trustworthy your contributions are.

It's an incentive scheme that adds to the quality of the site.

What are trust points on Answers.com?
What Are Trust Points?When a fellow contributor or Supervisor recommends you, you receive a trust point. Trust points are points you can gain on WikiAnswers, to show that you are a trustworthy member of WikiAnswers, that your contributions are worthwhile, and very well done. Taken from the Help Center:Trust Points enable you to vote for a WikiAnswers member whose contributions you think are worthwhile and legitimate.It is important to note that Trust Points are not a good measurement of how much you can trust the answer to a question. They are simply an indication of how trusted the last contributor is as a member of the WikiAnswers community.All answers should be critically considered. For reliable advice of any sort you need to consult a qualified professional in your local area. Please see our Terms Of Use for more details.Trust Points do not account for any special rewards, or deals; however, the more you have, the more respected you are in the eyes of others, and, the better your work is. Currently, as mentioned in the Help Center, there is no facility to subtract Trust Points, as this would only complicate matters further.For more details on Trust Points, see the Related link.
Why is it so difficult to earn trust points?
Probably because not enough WikiAnswers contributors have read your contributions or have considered giving you or others a trust point. I suspect that Supervisors are more likely to attract trust points than other contributors because of the improvements they make to the contributions of others which are likely to then attract a response from the original contributor.
