    It depends somewhat on the category. If I were to guess overall, I'd estimate the average age being perhaps 21. But in categories such as Polls & Surveys or Adolescent the average age probably goes much lower, like 15.

    Keep in mind, a person can be of any age 13 or above on Answers and is allowed to answer in any category. You could answer in the Senior Citizens category if you wanted to, it's allowed, as long as you give honest answers to the questions being asked and follow all of the other rules. And don't forget some people on the Internet including Answers misrepresent their age, some of these people have bad intentions. There are users on the site probably as young as 8 (against the rules), and older than 90. I'm 46 myself and know of many other middle-aged users.

    This is based on visits which are entries into Yahoo Answers from another site. Leaving and returning after researching an answer is another visit.

    SEX INDEX

    Male 97

    Female 103

    AGE INDEX

    < 18 63

    18-24 153

    25-34 132

    35-44 116

    45-54 86

    55-64 65

    65+ 55

    This compares audience composition of the site to the entire Internet population. The higher the index number, the more concentrated a site is in a particular demographic.

    As an example, if a site indexes 100 for age 18-24, that means a given visitor to it is as likely to be 18-24 as any internet user chosen at random. An index of 200 means the visitor is twice as likely to be 18-24, 50 means half as likely, and so on.

    Yahoo Answers staff estimates about 10 million members.

    There have been over 200 Million visitors since the site began in Dec 2005. (Probably way more by now)

    i've got in elementary terms gotten hate mail a pair cases, as quickly as as a results of fact somebody had a challenge that i presumed in doing charity, yet another for somebody thinking I shouldn't via my daughter Hollister outfits, and yet another the place somebody theory it became into impolite of me to place how plenty money I make a year. i in my view think of people who do that are jealous. somebody that e-mailed you for sure did not have any admire for people's ideals. you could record it as unsolicited mail yet i'm uncertain how far it gets. besides, in simple terms overlook relating to the e-mails. i in my view chortle at some people on those boards. The rudeness is magnificent. Epically on the parenting board, I advise that's the PARENTING board can they act somewhat greater mature. besides if somebody hasn't instructed you, welcome to Yahoo solutions. I make an apology to the reality of those stressful people, yet in simple terms overlook approximately it and shop going.
