Introduction:
As Local Guides, it's often amazing which of all of our great photos on Google Maps is the photo having the most views, which I call our star photo, and this post is about such stars. It's an update on the Top 100 Star Photo Leaderboards post of 23 September, 2021 and contains a set of leaderboards that as well as showcasing the star photos of well over 200 Local Guides, presents a very detailed objective analysis of their performance, and you can join in and see why so many Local Guides love participating!
No you don't have to be a "top gun" Level 10 with a mega million views to participate!
The leaderboards have been specifically designed so that Local Guides at any level can participate, and you'll see many do. So whether you are an entry level Local Guide or from a small 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! You'll find all the information you need and more here. You might also be interested in the Top 100 Local Guide Points leaderboards and the very unique Top 100 Photo Views leaderboards. I look forward to seeing you on the leaderboards.
Is this just 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 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, the mission will have been accomplished!
So what can you learn from these Leaderboards?
You can learn a lot by the very detailed and objective analysis of the star photos of the hundreds of participating Local Guides including, for example, what type of places and what type of photos seem to get the most views. It's also interesting to see answers to questions like the following:
- Are the Top 100 all Level 10 Local Guides? Nope! In fact 68% are not Level 10s, and many are Level 5, 6 or 7 Local Guides!
- OK then, was the top star photo taken by a Level 10 Local Guide? Nope! The photo with the highest views was in fact taken by @FlyingTimo, a Level 7 Local Guide!
- Hmmm, well was the star photo with the highest average views per day taken by a Level 10 Local Guide? Nope! The photo with the highest average views per day was in fact taken by @Obaidur_Rahman, a Level 8 Local Guide!
