A new Twitter Algo with major changes was released a few days ago, in regards to how tweets rank and show on other people's feed.
I figured to share the main take away, for any of you engaging in @acidyo's posh project or doing any other kind of business on twitter.
So, likes and retweets still count but way way less then before. What you really want to concentrate now are the replies you get on your tweets, and especially replies on your replies. I guess what would work great is forming your tweets in the form of question or any other kind of format that induces the user to leave a reply. I'll actually try the question thing when poshing my post 馃槀
In other words, conversation is the new king if you want to conquer twitter. Which only makes sense!
Here's a quick list of the visibility multiplayers:
This is the new ranking of positive signals:
路 75x for reply to reply
路 13.5x for reply
路 12x for click to profile
路 10x for click & user stays >2 mins
路 1x for retweet
路 0.5x for like
Grab your 75x with reply to replies. source
The next best thing apparently is getting people to just click you profile, giving a 12x point.
Another great thing for us poshing our links is that now there is no link penalty 馃帀馃帀馃帀
Tldr; Likes and retweets matter less, replies more. So better just leave a quick reply even if it's just a silly meme! It might do wonder and won't fill your Twitter page with posh links 馃槀
