When you click on the name on the top of the page, it will take you to a page that has all the questions you've asked, answered, how many points you have, what level your on ect... and on the right side, theres a column with like the last 10 or so things you got points for or lost points for.\n\nHope I was help. :)

You earn points by answering questions (2), visiting the site (1 per day), getting voted best answer (10), getting a  thumbs up for your best answer (1).\n\nWhat can you do with your points?  Ask more questions!  I hope you weren't expecting a cuddly toy!\n\nSorry, I'm assuming you are talking about Y Answers - you chose Careers and Employment category.  Were you thinking of doing this for a living??

Just click above, where it says Points.  It is all explained there.\n\nBut, the real truth, is nothing.  As far as I can tell so far, they are just there so that competitive people can accumulate them.

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.)

Here's a breakdown of the scoring system: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=ApsI0C6bJpcrAdnhIvylGJAezKIX\n\nPoints don't really mean a whole lot except to tell you who uses this service the most. For me, it's a challenge. Can I answer enough questions to get to the next level? You lose 2 points when you ask a question, but if you pick a best answer, you get them back.

I don't know, but I need a couple of points to find out what happens when I reach the next level. Thanks.

It depends on what level you are on. Look at the point system and it tells you what level your on and how many questions you can answer on that level.

Keep answering questions. The better your answers, the greater the chance for you to score points with the asker.

You automatically get 100 points when you start using it.  Then afterwards they have a point break down system.  If you've answered, asked or rated any questions you've already accumulated your first 33 points.
