Any
content creator wants their videos to be displayed on the For You Page, as this
is where consumers spend the most time on this network. TikTok has seen a trend
of for you hashtags, which many creators use, and although we cannot guarantee
that this can completely manipulate the decision of the algorithm, it is still
worth trying these tactics used by great content creators. These hashtags are:
#fyp, #foryou, and #foryoupage.

Twitter
Now we come with the blue
bird social media platform, which has been the center of conversation for some
time since Elon Musk decided to buy it. Since the event, we have had too many
doubts about the future of this social media and what changes Musk will bring
to the platform.
Nevertheless, we are not
here to answer these questions but to talk about Twitter's algorithm, and this
one is kinda funny as its working method is a mystery even for its creators.
This is because, like the other social platforms above, Twitter uses
"black box" algorithms, meaning its mechanisms are kept secret from
users. From the top of the iceberg, we only know that this technology uses
machine learning to sort tweets based on our interactions and preferences.
As CNN explains:
"Even
those who can understand the code that goes into an algorithm don't necessarily
understand how it works…. The people who build these systems don't always know
why they reach their conclusions, which is why they're commonly referred to as
'black boxes.'"
Elon Musk has said that he
wants to make Twitter's algorithm open source, asking users on a poll if this
should be the case, getting the approval of 1.1 billion users.
In 2023, Twitter has up to 353.90 million, sending up to 500 million tweets daily. Nevertheless, if you are using Twitter for advertising purposes, this platform has a big red flag, as more than half of Twitter's top 1,000 advertisers, like Coca-Cola or HBO, have pulled their ad dollars out of the app. The main reason behind this is that these companies are not sure of the way Elon Musk wants to take the platform. Besides, Elon has shown that he isn't a great fan of digital marketing. Also, if you want more information on advertisers abandoning Twitter, check out this CNN post for more information.
Nevertheless, consider
Twitter a viable channel for your digital marketing purposes. In that case, you
are more than welcome to keep reading as we will show you how to take advantage
of this to make your business as algorithm friendly as possible.
Let's study Twitter now!
Twitter's Feed.
Within your Twitter, you
can look at content from two different timelines.
·
Home:
·
These are the tweets that the algorithm
deduces you will have more interactions with based on your previous
interactions with accounts. In this section, you could also see tweets from
accounts you don't follow but discuss topics you like.
·
Latest tweets:
·
This is the standard feed for Twitter and
shows you publications from people you follow in a real-time, reverse
chronological timeline.
Another part of your
Twitter feed is the Topics, which lets you follow conversations on any subject
you like, ranging from sports teams, musicians or general discussions without
needing to follow those accounts.
Finally, similar to
Instagram's Explore section, you get a explore tab where you can get tones of
information from:
·
Trending topics
·
News, Sports, Fun, Entertainment
·
The for you section: Contains suggested
Tweets, accounts, topics and other content that the Twitter algorithm has
determined you might be interested in.

Twitter algorithm ranking signals.
We want to focus more on
ranking signals to know where we should aim our focus within any social
platform. According to Twitter, top tweets have more interactions than
other platforms. Nevertheless, in this part, we want to point out what signals
will make our tweets more algorithm approved.
·
Recency
Twitter it's more of a
real-time feed where events, news, and trending topics are at the top of the
meal. This means that this isn't a platform that can rely too much on
nostalgia, throwback on tursday or any irrelevant topic for the time. In this
case, you must be careful of any news or Trend regarding your business field,
so your company can enter into this conversation.
·
Relevance
Twitter evaluates a tweet's
relevance based on your interactions with other accounts, the more you engage
with them and vice versa, the more they will show up on your feed.
Your location is also
crucial for the type of tweets the platform will display, as it will try to
show the most remarkable things about your city or country.
·
Engagement
This signal concerns the
popularity of your tweets within the niche. The platform will evaluate how
popular this topic is and how many users are tweeting or retweeting about
it.
Then those with more
interactions will have a more privileged place within the platform.
In this article of
the Tweet's Hunters Blog, we get an appreciation of how much any
interaction would be worth and which ones are a bad sign for your account, take
a look:
·
Likes: +30
·
Retweets: +20
·
Replies: +1
·
Twitter Blu Verified: +2
·

Rich Media
Twitter organizes posts on
the type of media they show, like GIFs, images, videos or polls. The platform
explicitly says its algorithm won't promote any content that is considered
abusive or spammy.
We will now share practical
tips to upgrade your Twitter strategy.
·
Maintain an active Twitter presence.
Compared to other
platforms, you don't need many resources to write a Tweet. You need to use your
characters, and that's it.
Of course, you can add
videos or images to make it more interesting; nevertheless, the platform
doesn't force you to be so fancy. Making a good opinion or a catchy phrase can
get those retweets you want.
As for how many tweets you
should do per day, Hootsuite, a digital marketing automation tool,
recommends at least 1-2 times per day and a maximum of
3-5 times per day. This amount of tweets is why we remember that you
should be freer with your interactions rather than too much exhausting digital
marketing planning.
A good option could be one
powerful Tweet per day and the others more interactive ones.

Get verified with Twitter Blue.
The blue check was
something only influencers and big brands could obtain. But with Twitter
Blue, you can get this status sign just by paying.
With an $8 monthly
subscription and $11 for IOS users, Twitter Blue will give you instant
verification to improve your chances with the algorithm. The subscription
offers unique benefits like "rocket to the top of replies, mentions and
search," adding that your Tweets will be prioritized. Besides, the service
provides other checkmarks golden checkmarks for businesses and grey ones for
government entities.
Of course, this new feature
has caused some controversy among users since getting verified was a goal
people had to earn to get notorious within the platform. Now, just by paying a
monthly subscription, you get the benefit that many other "old
Tweeters" made with too much effort for the platform.
·
Tweet at the right time
Although the Home Tweets
algorithm can put out tweets after they were first posted, as with many other
platforms, it is still essential to post when your audience is more
active.
According to Social Pilot,
the best posting times for this platform are between 8 to 10 in the morning and
6 to 9 pm. The reason for this hour range may be directly connected to the
user's consuming habits. The reason is that 48% of users turn to Twitter to get
the latest news,
and usually, we check on news in the morning, before going to our jobs, and
after employment, generally after six pm.
Regardless, you can always
visit your analytics to find the best times to post.
