Quick tips on points

1. Create ideas: It's the number one score generator. The more ideas you enter, the more points you will score from those ideas AND the more points those hard working ideas can generate for you.
2. Expand on your ideas: Do you think that big box under the submit box is just there for looks? Nah! Expand on your idea by giving more details. What makes this idea so good? Where did you have this idea? Who could benefit from it? Give 'em a brain dump!
3. Add keywords: Not only will you get a few bonus points for your keywords, but you'll get more points later on as people find your excellent idea. Every vote and comment means additional points for you.
4. TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!!!: This tip is worth all the exclamation points. Tell your friends and family to go vote and comment on your ideas. Trust me. With their help, you'll double and triple your score.
5. Become a parent: There's no crying involved here. You get mega points for every idea you inspire. First for just being a parent, then you'll get a small slice of the points each child idea is worth. What's better than getting your children to do all the work?
6. Comment, comment, comment: Commenting on ideas is worth it's weight in, well... Something more valuable than cheese, anyway. You get points for sharing your opinion and others get points for being commented on.
7. Vote early and often: Voting is vital to success. If you don't read and vote on other's ideas you'll never make it past the bottom rung.
8. Remember! What goes around, comes around: If you don't vote and comment on others ideas, they won't even bother to read yours. Participate!

And what do you get for a high score? Maybe a prize or two but really you get to gloat and prove how smart you really are!
