Trying to understand MyLots "Best Responses"

Still fairly new here and I am trying to figure out the purpose of the best responses feature. Do people earn more for having their response voted as the best?
I have chosen best responses to all the topics I started, but want to know, does that help others out?
Thank you!

We are not sure that best responses get
more earnings for the best respondents .
Mylot administrating staff has not said
anything related to the earnings from the
best responses .
However , as the above members said it ,
many believe that best responses bring
more money for them .
In my view , best response honor encourages
the respondent to contribute more qualitative
responses . He / She feels satisfaction
that the response has got recognition .

Hard to say for sure, but I think best responses does help your earnings, at least a little bit. If I look at the days I made the most earnings, it is the days I got best responses. I believe they give ytou a little bonus for a best response, but I'm really just guessing.

Excellent points! MyLot would not be a very valuable community if the responses were not well thought out and meaningful, so it seems logical that people would be rewarded - somehow - for posting something more than just "I agree" or "Yeah, I have done that".

Best response is a measure of your popularity and the quality of your posts. The more you receive, the higher your rating gets. You would have received your ratings by now, but they are not visible until you complete posting a hundred posts. After that, you get a star with your rating within it. Mine is a seven star at the moment. The highest is a 10 star rating. Keep posting quality stuff. Don't go in for posting stuff just to get your numbers up. It will only reduce your credibility and even affect your earnings. You can earn more with a few meaningful posts that several score meaningless and curt ones. Enjoy your time here!

Thank you! That information really helps. I try not to respond to anything unless I have something I think is valuable to add or informative.
I have seen people with only a couple hundred posts with a star of 10 - well once anyway. Neat!

I don't know that anyone receives more income for getting a best response. If you are here for the money, I'm sure there are other ways of making more than you are likely to make here. My purpose for being here is a bit more altruistic. I like helping people with their problems. I have been around the block a few times and feel that I can, at least sometimes, be helpful with anothers problems. I hope this gives you some food for thought.

You know....I have been here for a while now and I still don't understand how everything works.Seems like everybody has their own idea about it.
I have noticed that on days where I get a best response....my earnings are higher....even if I didn't post a lot for that day.
So my best guess is that it does make a difference for others.

I think you're right. My earnings were higher on a day that one of my responses was voted best (thank you to whoever did that btw :) ).
One of my friends seems to be making pretty good money from MyLots, so I can see it is possible. Still learning here as well, though my income is not dependent on what I do here but with other online ventures...
It will be interesting to see how others respond.
