Top 100 Video Views Leaderboards (2312)

T100 Video Views JAN24.gif

Introduction:
In September 2023 I started regularly posting a dedicated leaderboard post on star videos, that is our most viewed video (see the post here) and on this, for quite some time now Local Guides including @TerryPG , @Mikeinthefalls , @abermans and @Rednewt74 have been discussing the idea of yet another leaderboard post but one dedicated to all videos and not just the star, similar to what we’ve had for some time now, dedicated to photos (see the post here). This topic also came up in discussion during the The Leaderboards, Where to from now virtual meetup held on December 3 and spilled over in discussion starting in the comment by @MattGatlin . I offered some alternatives but the consensus of Local Guides was that a dedicated post is what is needed.

Well here it is, the inaugural Video Views leaderboard post dedicated to video contributions on Google Maps, and more specifically to the views these videos rack up. Given the push that video is being given by Google, my thoughts are that it’s probably the right time for this so let’s give it a shot and see if together we can make this post as successful in bringing those Local Guides interested in video contributions together in the usual fun and friendly competitive framework that the Leaderboards provide.

In the usual Leaderboard post style, this dedicated video post consists of a series of leaderboards showcasing the video view counts of participating Local Guides from around the world and you can also join in. In time there will be 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 participate and showcase your video prowess and it’s simple to do! If you want to jump on board, then hit this link to get started.

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 videos, or the most photo or video 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! If this can be done then the objective of the Leaderboards will have been achieved, mission will be accomplished! So if you haven’t as yet join in and enjoy!

Happy New Year

How to Read the Video 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 video 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 video views, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which provide you with direct comparisons of your video views achievements with that of your peers. There’s also a leaderboard that shows the top 100 Local Guides ranked by the Average Views/Video which gives a good indication of the overall “quality” of all videos taken by each Local Guide. This is simply calculated by dividing the Local Guide’s total video views value (impact) by the number of publicly visible contributed videos (volume). Of course the use of the term “quality” here refers to the attractiveness of the videos 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 Video 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.

Hats off to everyone on the inaugural Video Views leaderboard post. As usual, while checking the new boards for errors and omissions, please do make sure to check the data and calculations for your own videos.

I look forward to your comments. Haha I can already see one major error, Average Views/Video Leaderboard needs replacing :yum: :rofl:

Es wäre ja schön soviele Aufrufe zu erhalten aber leider stimmt es nicht und bedarf der Korrektur. Danke

Hello @AdamGT ,

Great to see this brand new Leaderboard. It makes more sense to highlight the overall views of Videos which comes from Director’s badge.

Nice to see all the participants here.

Liked the idea of using 8 different superscripts to indicate the varying states of a Local Guide’s profile.

Beim zweiten ansehen der Listen, wenn es sich um die Anzahl aller Videos handelt, ist die Anzahl korrekt. Ich habe die Listen auf das Spitzenvideo bezogen. Also entschuldigen Sie meinen Fehler

That’s right @Annaelisa , these boards specifically cover the total views (impact) of all the videos (volume) that you have contributed to Maps.

That was quick! Thanks for providing T100 video stats input + leaderboard published.
Indeed we give you no rest (sorry).

While videos uploads to maps have been available for a long time, clearly video impacts are still significantly lower than photos (compared to billions of views for the top photos contributors).
Still, I expect much more growth on videos views compared to photos this year, following the latest maps “explore” section and video increased preference on featured media per locations.

The break is coming @abermans , it’s coming.

For now, while the ladies are chin wagging over champagne, I’ve got all horsepower going. Just finished testing an updated Average Views/Video board and trying to integrate Video into both the Country and Movers & Shakers boards (only 3193 lines of gobbly gook)…Not surprising introducing video has a big impact on the rest of the boards :scream:

I couldn’t agree more Sam and this is why I think the Video boards will be very interesting to watch.

Well, it’s about time @AdamGT , that meetup was already 6 weeks ago & you’re now just able to collect the data, organize it, and post it for us? What took so long? :joy:

This is great! Google’s push for video is going to make for some interesting jumps on these boards. It’s already interesting to see how many views are possible a this point!

I did notice a potential issue with the Avg Views board. First, the name is still /photo rather than /video in the right column header (semantics), but my average does not match up with my actual numbers. If you look at @katydarhel 's average, it is higher than her total view count on the Level 7 board.

Using my Core Vitals data from T100, you can see there’s a miscalculation on the Board:
