What is the difference between a confidence vote and trust on your WikiAnswers profile?
Good question. Trust points have been around since the beginning of the site, so they are the traditional way of people saying... hey, I trust this person. You used to be able to give trust points from the question page, but now you can only do that on their individual profile page. The confidence votes are a newer thing, and they are based on the "Yes / No / Partially" (YNP) buttons under an answer. The amount of times someone's answer gets voted yes is calculated in with other things (how many people contributed to the answer, negative votes, etc.) to come up with the confidence score. The YNP buttons are seen by many more people, so that score typically goes up faster, but it also depends on what someone chooses to do. If someone spends their time categorizing questions, merging, or helping out in other ways, they might get more trust points than confidence votes, because there aren't many answers out there for them to get any YNP credit from. Both are an attempt at showing off the people that are valuable to the community. Of course though, even people who just joined recently can be a great help to the site. If you want more trust points OR confidence votes, the best thing to do is to write some really good answers. Not copy and paste ones or joking ones that are wrong but funny... they might get you a couple of votes, but will probably also get you blocked. Answers that are really good are ones that you have researched about, so you are confident that you have the correct answer, but then you answer in your own words.
