Hi all,
I don't know how many of you are familiar with Googles local guides so I will just do a quick overview. Guides is a community project that is designed to get users (us) out and about documenting places, businesses, attractions and so forth so Google can build a massive back catalogue of data which helps with search and in return you earn points. The more points you get the more prominence your reviews and photos get and if you get to level 10 then you get invited to san fran for conferences and so forth. I love doing it, it is a like a little game. We went to Busch Garden in May and saw the elephants and I took this photo...
As you can see, nothing special. Just an elephant taken on my phone. However I got this message...
That was sent to me on the 5th. My new view count is 4,348,311 and the image itself...
Now I posted that say on the first of June and this is now the 6th of November. Based on simple math this would net nearly 6mil views in a year. I am not quite sure what to do as this is obviously giving them quite a lot of publicity but I am not getting anything from it directly. What would you do?
