The content you see rise to the top of Yahoo! Buzz is influenced by people like you.

For each piece of content that you see on Yahoo! Buzz, we develop a ranking. That content’s ranking is based on things like the number of votes it receives on Yahoo! Buzz, the popularity of related search terms on Yahoo! Search, and the number of times that content is shared with friends over email. Higher ranked stories are featured more prominently on the homepage of Buzz and within category pages.

That said, we do have folks monitoring Yahoo! Buzz to ensure that submitted content is properly categorized and does not contain inappropriate content. Content that violates our Terms of Service will be removed by our site monitors.

We also have members of our team comb through all the top content on Yahoo! Buzz and select items to appear on the Yahoo! homepage. Vote today on a story or video, and you could help send it along to the Web’s most popular starting point!
