Hi @MahabubMunna

With such focus on featured posts, would you be able to help me understand the mechanisms behind getting featured on Connect?

I believe the number of replies and likes play a role. Are both at play?

Is it correct that the number of interactions needed to get featured has dropped considerably over the last few years, so it has gotten easier to get featured?

What do you think can explain changes in the number of interactions needed to get featured

I’m convinced that some featured posts are curated by the Google moderators as particularly interesting since such posts stay featured for many weeks even though they do not have a ton of interaction. Do you know how to distinguish between the two kinds of featured posts?

All the best

@MortenCopenhagen Thanks for the question, but I want to inform you that the number of featured posts is much more than the number of training posts of Bangladesh Local Guide members.

However, due to some internal community reasons, I have not shared it in the public forum, but it is regularly reported in our Facebook group. Trending is easy if the activity of the community members is high, but unique topics, text and images are required to be featured.

Things that we constantly give tips to our community. Besides, Bangladesh has taken some policies and steps in the field of community development, which is becoming trending and featured. We can easily say that single community activities and interrelationships are more than any other community in the world.

I’m well aware that not all posts from your community/country get featured.

I was not aware that photos are needed to get featured.

Looking forward to read your answers to my questions.

Cheers

Hey @MortenCopenhagen , your questions have been already answered by @MahabubMunna , I think you have missed it. I’m going to try to simply the answer for you.

First of all, this post is not about the featured posts, but the trending posts on connect. To get a post to the “Trending” tab, high engagement is the key, in my opinion. As “Bangladesh Local Guides” have a good number of active users on connect, it’s easier for them to feature a post in the trending.

But, to get a post featured in a certain catagory, quality plays the main role. Featured posts are selected by the Google Moderators, they will select the well structured posts to be featured, even if the posts have low engagement. But what is a “well structured post”? I will leave that to you figure it out by yourself! :wink:

Not gonna lie, I am a bit suprised that you don’t know the secrets behind the featured posts, after all you are a connect moderator :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @SadmanRafid

Thanks for your reply and explanations. Much appreciated. I’m not afraid to ask - even when I ought to know the answers :wink:

So the board/section named Trending from Local Guides is the source for these statistics. It makes sense.

I also heard elsewhere that the Connect moderators are involved in selecting the featured posts. I was never informed about this or told how to “vote”. Or I was not listening. Now I will look it up. Thanks.

Understanding the exact formular for when a post get selected for the Trending section is still a mystery to me - so be it.

All the best
