Top 100 Photo Views Leaderboards (January, 2024)

2023 May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec End-2023
2024

Introduction:

This post is all about photo contributions on Google Maps, and more specifically, about the views these photos rack up. It consists of a series of leaderboards showcasing the view counts of hundreds of Local Guides from over 80 countries and you can join in. There’s a leaderboard for each Local Guide level and in this way you don’t have to be a “top gun” level 10 Local Guide with a mega million views to participate! 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 or New Delhi, you can join in and it’s simple to do! If you want to jump on board, then use this link to register or if you want some help then add a comment in this post and someone will jump in to help you.

Why are photo views important?

We all know that as Local Guides we don’t get points for the views that our contributions generate! However, views are important as they give us a pretty good indication on how we are impacting on our communities at the Local Guide level. For example, they give us a good indication on how many people we have helped make a decision such as what place to visit or a meal to have. So while we don’t get points for photo 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 view counts can increase significantly and you will see here on the leaderboards how significant this can be.

Is this just a competition?

While there is an inherent competitive element within them, the Leaderboards 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, and all in a fun and enjoyable way! As one example of this, in his 1 Billion Views & Counting post @Mikeinthefalls wrote:

“I’ve become a better LG and photographer, thanks to the sharing of ideas and resources on Connect. One of those resources is the Top 100 Leaderboards. The mastermind behind those Leaderboards @AdamGT Without your vision to create that platform, myself and many others would have likely lost interest long ago. They’re a great tool to motivate, as well as analyze & forecast trends & views.”

So now it’s your turn. Are you interested in improving the quality of your Maps contributions so that you can achieve better outcomes in terms of views and impact on your community? Hit this link and join the high Local Guide achievers.

The cover image:

The feature image on last month’sPhoto Views Leaderboards post was that of Parque Nacional Cañon del Sumidero (Sumidero Canyon National Park) in Chiapas, Mexico taken by @LightRich . This month the featured cover image is a beautiful sunrise taken on the beach at Hancock Point, ME, United States by level 8 Local Guide, @Rednewt74 . This is Alfred’s story about this photo.

In October of 2023 we spent 5 days in Maine. Our home base was the Crocker House, nestled near the tip of Hancock Point. A huge thanks to my wife, whose gentle nudges often encourage me to push my photographic boundaries.

This photo is an example of the benefits of going out of your comfort zone. First, as I mentioned above, I don’t like getting up early. Second, when I shoot land or water scapes I tend to zoom in because I usually think I can get a more interesting shot. On October 27, 2023 at about 7 am we walked down to a nearby beach. After having shot my typical zoomed in photos while the sun rose, I took a moment to notice how beautiful the full view was. My eye was drawn to the clouds and distant land on the left, forming natural leading lines towards the sun. Wanting to find a complementary perspective, I looked for foreground elements that echoed this flow. The linear play of light and dark on the rocky beach to the right proved to be just what I was looking for. My Pixel 7 pro has a ultra-wide angle lens and the meta-data indicates I was shooting at the equivalent of a 2 mm lens. I think this super wide angle really adds to the dramatic effect of the photo.

I don’t know about you but when reading Alfred’s story I felt I was there adoring and immersed in the beautiful sunrise view. Thank you Alfred for sharing this beautiful photo and the story behind it with us.

How to Read the Photo Views leaderboards (January 2024)

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

  1. The leaderboards in this post 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 provide you with direct comparisons of your photo views achievements with that of 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 that shows the top 100 Local Guides ranked by the Average Views/Photo which gives a good indication of the overall “quality” of all photos taken by each Local Guide. This is simply calculated by dividing the Local Guide’s total photo views value by the number of publicly visible contributed photos. Of course the use of the term “quality” here refers to the attractiveness of the photos to the Google AI and the viewing public.

  2. Where shown, around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this is the first time that the Local Guide has participated on the Top 100 Local Guides leaderboards.

  3. Where shown, ( ) around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this Local Guide levelled up/down onto this leaderboard.

  4. An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.

  5. Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Googler.

  6. A superscript following a Local Guide’s username and the views value shown on a background color indicates that some of that Local Guide’s data has been set to private. The Leaderboards System uses 8 different superscripts to indicate the varying states of a Local Guide’s profile however only 3 superscripts will likely ever be shown on the Leaderboards. In all the remaining 5 cases the Local Guide has been deleted from participation. On the Photo Views Leaderboards you will only ever see the following superscripts used:
    [1] indicates that the number of photos and photo views values are private.
    [3] indicates that both the number of photos and photo views values and the number of reviews and ratings values are private.

  7. 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.

  8. Selecting any of the Connect Usernames will take you to that Local Guide’s Connect Profile.

  9. If you’re a participating Local Guide you must check the leaderboards for any errors or omissions and if you find any, then please add the details in a comment on this post. Regarding omissions, please note point 7 above.

Firstly, welcome @YuliiaZa to the Leaderboards. As a level 8 Local Guide your first appearance on the Photo Views leaderboards is interesting in that with 8,916,242 photo views you haven’t made it onto the level 8 leaderboard as the threshold in that very competitive board is 23+million views yet with 7,005 average views per photo, you are well placed on the Top 100 Average Views/Photo Leaderboard. This certainly tells you something about the “quality” of your photos so well done you.

It’s funny how in this month’s Points leaderboard I noted and commented here that there seemed to be an unusually higher number of Local Guides that have set their data to private yet in the leaderboards on this post there are none…something definitely isn’t right here and will require some checking.

Thanks for compiling another wonderful round of delicious photo views data to feed the LG community @AdamGT Kudos, as always! :clap:t4:

Thanks for highlighting @Rednewt74 beautiful sunrise photo. We didn’t make it to Maine on our last visit to the East Coast but that photo has me adding the location to my list! :sunrise_over_mountains:

I was curious how much the threshold had changed for entry into the Top 100 Photo Views so I checked from May 2023 and #100 had 62 million views. That’s quite the difference to the current #100 at 144 million. A true sign that the Leaderboards are gaining momentum and catching the attention of active Local Guides.

Another statistic I noticed this month is that the Level 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 Photo Views are all led by a guide with 1 Billion Views - WOW! Congrats to @photoslinger :star_struck:

Additional kudos to @MelTG for her staggering 2 million views per photo average! I keep thinking all catch up with her, but then I go and add more photos and she keeps that average just out of reach! :joy: @TerryPG for almost cracking 200k average views… You’ve come a long way, my friend. Nice work :+1:

Thank you for taking into account my data despite my late entry @AdamGT . And also, thank you for your efforts to elaborate and maintain this fine leaderboard system. The figures of fellow Local Guides are impressive!

As for the average views, I can be quite selective about what I add. I would often refrain from adding a pic if I see similar ones.

@AdamGT Did @Briggs clean out so many photos enough that he fell out of the Billion Photo Views Club? Seems we’ve got a Heavy Hitter missin!

@AdamGT

Thank you for all your work. And helping me. Sorry for my AFK. My mom passed away and things have been rough and handling her estate overwhelming.

Thank you @Mikeinthefalls But a big congrats to you and to @MelTG You both have astonishing numbers, and have Made the Mean and Lean system work to perfection. And Mike you are not catching Mel. :smirk:

It was my pleasure @YuliiaZa given you got caught up with some issues, including the Leaderboard System’s stringent security checking which as you know, is all explained in the Leaderboard System’s Startup Guide. Thanks for your appreciation Yuliia and I’m thrilled that you have joined the many hundreds of Local Guides and regarding your photo contribution strategy, all I can say is that I only wish that I had started off that way.

5 Likes

Yes I recall you telling me about your mother’s passing @StevenBerlin and having been through what you are going through myself, there’s no need to apologize. Understanding this, I gave you a little helping hand so that your presence at the top among the heavy hitters is up-to-date and accurate. This will also provide you with accurate Leaderboard System historical tables and charts. Keep up the great guiding and thank you for your appreciation.

I can’t help but feel that the underlying issues mentioned in my comments here and here might be at play @JustJake . As soon as I have caught up with myself I will do a deep check and I’m already tending to the belief that I will need to redo and repost all the leaderboards :scream:
