Just passed 5.2 million photo views with 676 photos. Started in September 2016. Most photos were taken in Brooklyn and Manhattan in NYC. Great fun and improved my photography skills at the same time. What could be better?
Thanks. It's been fun. But still trying to figure out why some photos ( of the same location) generate crazy viewing numbers and other photos, that I think are more worthy, don't.
I know what you mean. I assume there's some kind of algorithm that somehow decides which photos are "better" and then shows them to map users first. I also started around the same time as you, have roughly the same # of photos, but just passed the 10.2 million views mark. I met a bigwig Guide in Toronto recently who'd had over 100 million views.
What I have been noticing is when there is a highly populated area and a store that does not recieve many reviews, your one review maybe more valuable than you think.
For example, if you were to go to a mall and you notice a McDonalds in the basement of the mall. There is a very high chance that most people don't go to the mall to review Mc Donald's and post photos.
But, on the flip side. How many people do you think are searching for a local McDonalds to get there morning cup of coffee. Your review/ photo than becomes more noticed. (Ties in a lot with localized SEO tactics)
I noticed this trick while wondering through malls and little shops out in the middle of now where. I'm recieving 1000+ views a day from some because my photos are the only ones being posted on these franchise stores and local businesses.
