Will adding friends increase my ratings????

Depends, probably yes. Because most of the people tend to check their friends discussions, reply and rate your replies. Of course a high rating would get you more money / post. So yes, friends count. And besides the financial matter, it's nice to have friends that share the same interests as you do.

I am not sure about that. But that is not a bad question. No one would have thought about it. I think friends are simply there to organize your contacts in myLot and they themselves won't add up to the earnings, I might well be proved wrong. I am just telling you what I feel.

No, add friends will not directly increase your earnings but if you start replying to their discussions then yes, your earnings will increase.

I really don't know how mylot judge our earning from, but from my feeling, i don't think so, may be added some friends only effect us on easier to post a opinion on we allready known person, and also so we can help each other on giving opinion on our friends.

adding friends wont increase your rating..the rating will increase when you get good + from people.make friend who can help you by rating your discussion n post and you do the same favor to your friend.the team work makes better earning.

From my experience that doesn't help your rating/earnings. If it did probably many mylot users would have 100's of friends. But if you check out your friend's posted topics and reply that could help your earnings. Also see what your friends have replied to because it may be a discussion that you'd be interested in as well.

I think it helps in a way that your friends are more than likely to respond to your discussions.
