Top 100 Photo Views Leaderboards (January 2023)

[AdamGT]

Introduction:

This post is all about Local Guide photo contributions on Google Maps, and more specifically, about the views these photos rack up. It’s an update on the December Photo Views post of 4 December, 2022. The post consists of a series of leaderboards showcasing the view counts of Local Guides at different levels. Therefore, you don’t have to be a “top gun” Level 10 Local Guide with a mega million views to participate as there’s a leaderboard specifically for your Local Guide level. So, whether you’re an entry level Local Guide or from a small country, town or village, or a top level Local Guide from London, New York, Paris or New Delhi, you can join in and it’s simple to do! If you want to get on leaderboards, then use this link.

Why are photo views important?

Firstly, we all know that as Local Guides we don’t get points for the views that our photos generate. However, views are important as they give us an indication on how we are impacting on our communities at the Local Guide level. Our photo views give us a good indication on how many people we have helped make a decision such as about a place to visit or a meal to have. So while we don’t get points for views, we certainly get an awesome feeling when we see that our photos are being viewed by many people and being visible across Google services, like Search means that our photo counts can increase significantly and you will see here on the leaderboards how significant these photo counts can get.

Is this just a competition?

While there is an inherent competitive element within them, these leaderboard posts are more than just seeing who has the best photos or the most photo views, far from it! They have been specifically designed to motivate us, help us to monitor our contributions and performance, and show us how to improve and make better contributions so that we achieve better results, all in a fun and enjoyable way! If this can be done then these leaderboards will have achieved their objective, their mission will be accomplished!

The Cover gif and photos!

Keeping the New Year spirit alive, the cover gif for this post this month is made up of a series of beautiful photos taken by fellow Connect Moderator, @indahnuria . When asked to describe these photos Indah said they were taken during New Yea’s Eve celebrations at Wellington, New Zealand. The show the fireworks over the Wellington waterfront, as seen from Indonesian Ambassador’s residence in Northland, Wellington, NZ. The photos with a purplish hue background were taken 9.30 PM and the others at 12 AM with Canon 5D Mark II, 70 - 200 lens. Great shots Indah and what a beautiful vantage point you had!

Reading the Photo Views leaderboards

Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details see the leaderboard documentation:

1. The leaderboards present details about the photo views of hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world. As well as an overall leaderboard ranking the top 100 Local Guides by photo views, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which lend themselves to better comparisons of your photo views achievement with your peers. There’s also a leaderboard, referred to as the Exclusive Billion Photo Views Club that highlights those heavy hitting, high views Local Guide achievers. Finally, there’s a leaderboard the shows the top 100 Local Guides ranked by the Average Views/Photo metric which gives a good indication of the overall quality of all photos taken by each Local Guide.
2. Where shown, around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this is the first time that the Local Guide has participated on the Top 100 leaderboards.
3. An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.
4. Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Googler.
5. A ? or the words “Not set” in a cell indicates that the respective value hasn’t been provided by or cannot be determined for the respective Local Guide.
6. Selecting any of the Connect Usernames will take you to that Local Guide’s Connect Profile.
7. Local Guides included in the leaderboards must check their entries for any errors. If you should find any errors or omissions, please add the details in a comment on this post. Regarding omissions, please note point 5 above.

Top 100 Average Views/Photo Leaderboard - All participating Local Guides (January 2023)

In this leaderboard, the photo views achievement of participating Local Guides is shown in the order of average views per photo. The essential idea here is that the average views per photo gives a good overall single measure of the quality of all of a Local Guide’s photos contributed on Google Maps; the higher the average views per photo, the higher the overall quality of the contributed photos. While there can be problems with averages, the average views per photo is a nice simple way of looking at the overall quality of our Maps photo contributions.

While it’s easier to achieve higher average views per photo at lower Local Guide levels, it’s interesting from this leaderboard that some Local Guides show much better average views per photo than Local Guides at higher Local Guide levels! For example, I’m a Level 10 Local Guide yet there are many Local Guides at lower LG levels that are out performing me in terms of overall photo quality!

If we accept that the average views per photo gives a good overall measure of a Local Guide’s photo contributions on Google Maps, then one way to improve your overall photo performance is to have less but better quality photos: the more views you have for a smaller number of photos will result in a higher average views per photo and a good way to achieve this is to have less but better quality photos for each review.

Took me 2 hours just to post the Photo Views Leaderboards

Three down just one to go, the BIG one !!!

Amazing @TerryPG , edging close to a BILLION views as a Level 9 Local Guide! And look at @Mikeinthefalls , inching very close to that magical Average Views per Photo of ONE MILLION and hot on heels of @MelTG

Will have more to say after I get some sleep

[TerryPG]

Thank you so much @AdamGT You have been a believer in me since I started here and we had our initial conversations ab out photo views.

ETA on hitting a Billion 7-8 Weeks.

Congrats @Mikeinthefalls on Your Amazing numbers. Watch out @MelTG

[AdamGT]

Yes I have indeed believed in you from very early days here I can’t wait @TerryPG , and I have to add, I’m also looking forward to when @Mikeinthefalls crosses that other major divide. Stock up on the Champaign

[Mikeinthefalls]

@AdamGT Thanks for the kudos and another wonderful Leaderboard! I’m very excited to crack into that Million average views realm, @MelTG has to be lonely at the top.

I noticed @JustJake has already claimed Albania as his new home country, I’m wondering how the weather in Afghanistan is this time of year?

[Mikeinthefalls]

Thanks and great work @TerryPG you’ve been adding up some serious views! What is your estimation for attaining 1 Billion Views… 2-3 months? Very exciting times on the Leaderboards.

[Mikeinthefalls]

I should reach 1 Million just in time to see @MelTG hit 1.5 Million. Maybe I can catch her before she hits 2 Million? You had a great year in increasing your average views - nice work!

[JustJake]

I called it, @AdamGT , there’s some high flying new participants for 2023. I keep thinking I have a shot at making the top 100 here, but the gap keeps getting bigger and bigger!

Might I suggest that when @MortenCopenhagen , @DshottDennis , and @TerryPG round out a ‘Top 10’ Billion Views board you chop the top off the list? Maybe then I can squeeze in .

I’m sure it’s the midnight code wrangling, but there are a few duplicates showing up on the Level based lists, specifically at the end where “?” is noted for the counts.

[JustJake]

@Mikeinthefalls I’m glad to see my idea is taking off. I should get a recruitment stipend from the tax authorities in these countries.

Those average view counts are amazing. I’m really blown away by the level 10s with thousands of photos and still keep such high averages.

[AdamGT]

While suggestions are always welcomed @JustJake , they are not always implemented

As you know, we must all, always keep in mind that while it’s nice to be on the Top 100 Leaderboard for all participating Local Guides for any metric (i.e. points , views, star photo etc), that is the open field leaderboard, it is by far not a level playing field. For example, some Local Guides started years before me and will obviously have more points, views etc. Other than in the case of Level 10s, the field leveler is the leaderboard at your own Local Guide Level so in your case you are well up there with your peers on the Level 8 leaderboard

Thanks for checking the leaderboards Jake and for picking up that doubling up error. It’s always risky business trying to pump out large tables with hundreds of entries and links etc but even riskier doing it while on the graveyard shift. However, because of other issues (e.g. Lucy), I’m running later than I would have liked this month so now in catchup mode, I’m trying hard to get it all done. 3 out of 4 done, and the BIG one to come!
