There are several methods to getting more answers at Yahoo! Answers. The most important is to have an interesting question! It doesn't make sense to put yet ANOTHER "Is the Jonas brothers the best ever?" out there. People are bored with that question. Second, make sure it's in the proper category. For instance, you wouldn't want to put a beauty question in psychology. They might try to analyze why you wanted to be beautiful as opposed to intelligent. Actually, I don't see the contradiction, but they might. Remember that Yahoo! Answers is curiosity driven, so put your question as cleverly as you can. Just like on WikiAnswers, the people are looking for something that hasn't been asked a million times before. It also helps to use your question for discussion, because there are too many people who simply don't like a yes or no question. Above all, never try to use your question as a method of popularity. If you really want your question to generate great responses, make sure that you are not asking something too easy or too silly. I always skipped over the simple stuff when I cruised that site.
Yahoo Answers is better: Question Structure WikiAnswers is designed more to answer universal and relatively simple one line questions. Yahoo answers can answer more complicated and personalized questions. Audience Yahoo currently has a wider community who comes to both ask and answer questions. As Yahoo is a web portal, people who come to Yahoo for other things (eg. web search, e-mail or news) may also find themselves asking or answering questions. The personal nature of Yahoo attracts more people to Yahoo. WikiAnswers has a smaller user base, and is not tied to a major portal. Answers On WikiAnswers, answers tend to be relatively better. Answers can evolve over time, as opposed to only having to be entered within a few days of the initial question. Yahoo Answers has much more false/unhelpful answers, and much more spam. User Powers On Yahoo Answers, every user is treated equally in terms of powers, but there are limits to how much one can do each day depending on the level they are at. One vote counts as one vote. On Wiki Answers, supervisor powers trump regular users. Previewing Answers On Yahoo Answers, you can preview your answer; on Wiki Answers, you can not.
wiki answers has more members.
(Yahoo Answers displays more than one answer and the contributor of each answer.) WikiAnswers is NOT Yahoo Answers, they are two completely different sites with different aims and reliability. Yahoo Answers is mainly a community site to air varying input on a range of topics, not provide the direct and specific answer to a question. For opinion answers, there are many sites. For factual or experience-derived answers, there are comparatively few with the scope of WikiAnswers.

As of 2009, no, Yahoo Answers still has more traffic. However, WikiAnswers has been steadily gaining.
Some more Q&A sites, although not nearly as productive, attractive, growing, and fantastic as WikiAnswers, are Mahalo Answers and LinkedIn Answers.
It's not. Yahoo! answers is the best cos u can explain your question more
Well,according to me,the reason you love Yahoo!Answers are: 1.It has system of Points and levels. 2.Person who contribute more to Yahoo!Answers can become a top contributor. 3.Asker has an option to choose best answer to their question. 4.We can add contacts and fans their. But,Answerscom is not a bad site as well,in it,you can edit answers and questions,if you see a question posted in wrong category,you can post it to right category. But,you should also see that there are millions times more trolls on Yahoo!Answers than Wiki!Answers.Trolls are very annoying.

You there! Some of the answers here may be a bit off but most of them are correct. WikiAnswers disclaimer1 does say that there is no guarantee that answers will be 50% or more correct though. Just ask your question and wait for someone to answer it. And you no by the look of the question !! if your answer is not answered though go to yahoo answers
There are many differences but the main difference is that on Yahoo Answers,whenever a question has been put up,many users answer individually,but on Wiki Answers,whenever a question has been put,there can be only one complete answer to that question,and the users can improve it.Yahoo Answers has a points and levels system,more points you have,higher the level you will be in,however,here on Wiki Answers,contributions of a person are counted and then the user gets the badge according to his/her contributions.
