Most of us have been here before. We've had an answer that hasn't been getting any up-votes (or maybe even getting nothing but down-votes). So what can a person do to get the internet points they deserve?
Here is a list of things that might be causing other members of the community to scroll past your answer without casting that elusive up-vote, or even worse, causing them to stop just long enough to cast that terrible down-vote.
Note: These answers are summaries of what we as a community expect out of our answers, so feel free to edit them, or at least leave a comment, if you think they're too far from what you think we should expect from our community.
