Introduction:
As Local Guides, it's often amazing which of all of our many photos we each contribute to Google Maps has the most views. We've come to call this our star photo and this post is all about such stars. It includes a set of leaderboards that, as well as showcasing the star photos of hundreds of Local Guides from all over the world, presents a very detailed analysis of their performance. We all have a star photo, so you can join in to showcase yours and it's simple to do. Just hit this link and register or if you want some help then add a comment in this post and someone will jump in to help you.
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 all over the world, 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 are a pretty good indication on how helpful your photos are to Maps users.
The Cover Image:
As the cover image of this post, this month we see @Mo-TravelleerX's star photo of the Great Mosque of Xi'an which he describes as being a remarkable architectural masterpiece combining traditional Chinese and Islamic styles. Built during the Tang Dynasty in the 8th century, it has a rich history that spans over a thousand years. The mosque is a place of worship for the local Muslim community and a popular tourist attraction.
Mohamed Ahmed is a level 9 Local Guide from Egypt but currently studying a Master's Degree in Computer Science, in China. While in China he has been doing that Local Guide thing and sharing with us all, some of his great experiences there including his visits to tourist/historic places such as the Huaqing Palace in Xi'an and the Daming Palace National Heritage Park, Xi'an City as well as his great culinary stories such as his Savoring Harmony: A Tale of Chinese Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables in Xi'an post.
I have to say that if you haven't already done so, check out his posts with some amazing photos of China.
