Editor's Notes
- 1. The Twitter algorithm knows which accounts you engage with the most and shows you those tweets accordingly. Twitter also considers the engagement of your individual posts. According to this, those posts that receive the highest engagement are most likely to get boosted that those which don’t. Furthermore, if your tweet gets even more engaging and popular, the algorithm will prioritize it even more. 2. Twitter has made sure that the chronological part is still highly relevant. Twitter continues to be live and real time. Users can always use the feature “while you were away” to see the newest tweets they might have missed while being away of the platform. 3. Twitter prioritizes media types (photos, videos, etc.) that individual users find most interesting.
- Your bio is the first thing on your profile that users will check on. Engagement, in general, is triple for visual Tweets, so exploit them.
- This intriguing section will give you insights on holidays, events, sports and what kind of audience these events are reaching. You will also know which trends are picking up in which countries, so you can use the right hashtags. You can also promote your mobile apps and track conversion for them.

- Top Tweet: This tells you at a glance which one of your posts gained the broadest exposure for the month—an important record to track over time. Your top tweet is also a good candidate for testing a promoted tweets campaign. Top Mention: The Twitter user who expanded your reach the most is someone you should definitely reach out to. Look for opportunities to connect and work together, possibly through an influencer campaign. Top Follower: While this person has not necessarily shared your content yet, they have the largest potential audience. This is another key stat for finding connections and potential influencers to reach out to. New Followers: Tracking this over time and mapping any changes to your activities on Twitter will show how your various campaigns and posting strategies affect your overall follower count.
