difference between "question" and "phrase"

[Koto*koto]

I asked a question on "Yahoo-Answers" and got a reply that what I wrote wasn't a question but just a phrase.. I didn't get what the writer meant.
I will post a link here so you can see the context here.

Thanks in advance

Hi Koto. It was better to write " how can i have a working holiday visa of Australia?"
You can't put a question mark "?" in the end of a phrase which has no asking content.

Hi Dodgewiper.
Thanks for the reply..

I thought the line
"which state is easier to get a job" was considered as a question.
Don't you think it's a question asking about a state that I could get a job easily?
I'm very confused right now @@

The responder was referring to the heading and not the additional questions.

The question you just posted should read "What state is easiest to get a job in?" or "In what state is it easiest to get a job?" I would probably choose the latter. You have not narrowed this down to two states, so I used the superlative rather than the comparative.

Mordant,
Thank you for your answer! Now I've got it!

Hi Koto. Why do you want to migrate to Australia? Japan has many job vacancies as I know.
