My Lot and Yahoo! Answers

There is a huge difference between the two sites (apart from the economic one obviously). Yahoo Answers is for questions and answers while myLot is for discussions. Those who spend their time here on myLot posting questions and responding on other topics are not going to see any benefits in their earnings like those who spend their time here discussing. That is what we earn for on myLot, not for 'posting questions and responses'. For this reason I do not see the similarity.

I used to be an active participant at Yahoo! Answers. I always provide answers to questions there. However, I got suspended on 2 different accounts. I admit I have violated rules with my first suspension for posting links. But I can't understand why I was suspended on my second account. I was able to contest some so-called violations but it seems like there's a member who kept reporting me over and over again. When I failed to respond to a 'so-called' violation, I got suspended on my 2nd account. Well, it's their loss. And it's MyLot's gain.

Yea, they are sort of alike but not quite, I think there is more questions and answers on Yahoo!; mylot has more discussions. Besides, of course mylot pays us but Yahoo! doesn't, there is the main point.

Hello Staria, My perception about Yahoo answers is that it is a cold place, when people don't interact with each other. They ask a question and then leave it. The same with the respondents. They post a response and... that's it! What I mostly enjoy about myLot is that here you can discuss a subject for how long do you want. You can always ask for details if you feel that your matter wasn't solved from the first response. Here, users interact with each other. It happened many times to me to enter a discussion and to end up as a friend of the discussion starter. I'm afraid this is a thing you won't see in Yahoo Answers.

I've seen Yahoo Answers before. It's very similar to the process here in mylot where you have to choose a best response. But I'm not a user of yahoo answers, I just search for answers there.

I haven't experienced it yet staria.

I don't really know about yahoo answers so i can't be of help here. I do know that both have been useful.

I don't understand why people use Yahoo! Answers, I even asked my daughter why she does this, but I guess she figured Yahoo would know more or something. She is one of my referrals here, but only made one post, and this was before she started using Yahoo. Maybe someone said something she didn't like, because I know it wasn't because she didn't think money could be earned here, she knows my first year I used mylot earnings to help pay for gifts that holiday season, most were for her..

There is such the same thing in yahoo or answer dot com because all our post here in my indexing into those site

Sometimes I go back to the Yahoo answers, but I like mylot much better. I find the discussions at mylot much more enjoyable.

Yes,the best thing is that mylot community pay for our replies.Yahoo answers can not give us the cents.And then,mylot community is an open social networking site,they provide the open discussion on everything

wanna know how I get involved with Mylot, I got banned at Yahoo answers, In yahoo answers jealous people reports a person who is not doing any violations because of jealousy. Their admins are bots so whether you did something wrong or not, if you are reported 3 times, your banned. That place sucks. I wasted 4 years in that place. I should have registered in mylot from the get go. In mylot you dont really ask questions, you can do ranting and commentaries and you have to respond to people who participated in your discussions. You can make long conversations with people.

I really don't know that.If so,I think most of the people who want to start discusions will come to myLot,for nobody hates money.
