Top 100 Star Photos Leaderboards (June 2023)

[AdamGT]

Introduction:

As Local Guides, it’s often amazing which of all of our great photos we contribute to Google Maps has the most views. We call this our star photo and this post is all about such stars. It’s an update on the 7 May 2023 Top 100 Star Photo Leaderboards post and contains a set of leaderboards that, as well as showcasing the star photos of hundreds of Local Guides, presents a very detailed analysis of their performance. Whether you’re a Level 10 or a Level 4 Local Guide, we all have a star photo, so you can join in to showcase your star, and it’s simple to do. Just hit this link and register or if you want to know more then see this How-to post by @AZ_2021.

So what can you learn from the Star Photos Leaderboards?

Well from the very detailed analysis of the star photos of the hundreds of participating Local Guides from over 78 countries, you can learn a lot about what type of places and what type of photos seem to get the most views on Google Maps and remember, views are important as they indicate how helpful your photos are to Maps users.

Is this a competition?

While there is an inherent competitive element within them, the aim of these leaderboards is to motivate us, help us to think about and monitor our contributions and performance, and show us how we can improve the quality of 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; mission accomplished!

So if you haven’t as yet shared your star photo then register now as we’d all love to see it!

Reading the Star Photos leaderboards (June 2023)

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 star photos of hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world. As well as an overall leaderboard, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which provide you with direct comparisons of your star photo’s performance with that of your peers. Finally, there’s a leaderboard ranking the top 100 star photos by average star views per day which gives an indication on how good your star photo is.
2. The average star views per day is calculated by dividing the star views by the life of the star photo expressed in days. The life of the star photo is equal to the number of days between when you first uploaded your star photo on Maps and the date that you last updated the star views and thus, will be different for each participating Local Guide. Therefore, for accuracy of the information it is important you enter the correct dates.
3. As well as the star views and the date uploaded onto Maps, each listing on the leaderboards shows the Maps Category, and a description (e.g. Storefront, Building or Park) of the respective Local Guide’s star photo.
4. If the Maps Category of a star photo is shown as a link and if the name of the relevant Place of Interest was provided by the respective Local Guide, then hovering over that link will show you the name of the place and selecting that link will take you to a screenshot with details of that place as stored on the Local Guides, 2023 Star Photos post, a “photo album” if you will, of star photos.
5. If the Maps Category of a star photo is shown on a colored background then that star photo has been selected as one of the best that meets the formatting requirements as specified in the Local Guides, 2023 Star Photos post. Select that star photo’s category and see why it has been rated as one of the best and read more about that star photo on the “photo album” post.
6. Selecting any of the Connect Usernames will take you to that Local Guide’s Connect Profile.
7. Preceding some of the leaderboards, you may see a number of featured star photos. If so, these are a selection from those that best meet the requirements as detailed in the Local Guides, 2023 Star Photos post.
8. Where shown, around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this is the first time that the Local Guide has participated on the Top 100 Star Photos leaderboards.
9. Where shown, ( ) around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this Local Guide levelled up/down onto this leaderboard.
10. An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.
11. Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Googler.
12. A ? or the words “Not set” in a cell indicates that the respective value cannot be determined or hasn’t been provided by or for the respective Local Guide.
13. Local Guides included on 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 11 above.

I’m sorry that my comment here and the addition of the featured star photos was so late this month. I tried hard to get all the leaderboards completed and posted over the weekend, which, as you can well imagine, is always the best time of the month for me to do so, however I just ran out of both time and puff.

A warm welcome and congratulations to both @Gulbrandsen and @JakubWarsaw who join us on the Star Photos leaderboards this month.

Regarding the featured star photos, I always find it interesting to see which are selected to be featured. Of course it’s really no secret as these are a selection from those that best meet the requirements as detailed in the Local Guides, 2023 Star Photos post. However, when it comes to selections, what really surprises me is that some Local Guides just don’t update their star photo screenshot details! Also, some screenshots do not clearly show the star views

As you will have seen, the new Movers & Shakers star photos leaderboard introduced in May was moved out onto a new Leaderboard stream so that it will be together with the other points and photo views metrics based Movers & Shakers boards. Some more interesting enhancements of these boards are in the pipeline, so stay tuned.

As usual, please, please, please do check the leaderboards for any errors and omissions. It was a big update and as I’m only human, I do make mistakes.

Esta semana, mi foto con mas vistas esta a punto de cambiar.

Ahora es un video de New Braunfels ( Video )

¿También puede participar en el listado?

Saludos

Congrats to all those who’re moving up on the board. Over the last three months, I’ve moved down from #94 to #99 and now to #101. I can see based on the signal used by @AdamGT that they’re two new participants on the board this time that were not there last month.

Very good performance @Gulbrandsen #19 and @JakubWarsaw #59.

Hello to all Level 8s.

@AdamGT I assume there’s a data entry error in relation to @SusChat number of views.

[AdamGT]

On checking, @SusChat simply hasn’t updated his data @tony_b !
