The Science of Social Media

Why you shouldn't add links to your social posts


Listen Later

Here’s a question that puzzles most social media users …

Why do some of my posts get more views than others?

It’s a difficult question to answer. Each social network has a different algorithm. Each algorithm promotes and demotes posts in their own unique way. We’ve spent months analyzing reach and have attempted to determine why some posts (with links) get less views than others. Tune in to hear why.

I hope you enjoy the episode! We’re testing the waters to see if we can get this show back up and running, so make sure you give us a shout on social media if you want to hear more episodes.  As always we'd really appreciate a review and five stars on Apple Podcasts, Spotify (or wherever you listen to the show).
