Hello Friends!
Today is 3 May 2025.
I just realised it is already 7 years ago when cI have created my Steemit account.
And well, I want to point some ideas about what an Algorithm is, and how it affects a blogger. I am curious to hear some other ideas.
What is an Algorithm?
An algorithm is like a recipe that tells a computer how to process information and make decisions. In the context of blogging and social media, algorithms help determine which posts are shown to users and in what order.
How Algorithms Work for Bloggers
About Content Evaluation:
When you publish a blog post, the algorithm evaluates it based on several factors, such as:
- Quality: Is the content well-written and informative?
- Engagement: How many likes, comments, or shares does it receive?
- Relevance: Does it match the interests of the audience?
About User Behavior:
Algorithms learn from how users interact with content. According to experts for example:
- If a user often likes posts about travel, the algorithm will show them more travel-related content.
- If they engage with your posts, your content may appear more often in their feed.
The aspect of Timeliness:
Newer posts may be prioritized over older ones. This means that posting consistently and at the right times can help your content get noticed.
Why It Matters for Bloggers
Suppose we are learning to Understanding algorithms and it can help us to create content that is more likely to reach a wider audience... So the coming question will be; what tips?
Here are some tips:
- Create Quality Content: Focus on making your posts valuable and engaging.
- Engage with Others: Comment on and share other bloggers' posts to build relationships and increase your visibility.
- Use Appropriate Tags: Tags help categorize blogger's content and make it easier for others to find it.
- Post Regularly: Consistency can help keep your audience engaged and attract new readers.
As kind of Conclusion
We need to Think of algorithms as tools that help connect Blogger content with the right audience.
By understanding how they work and we can optimize posts as well as increase the chances of getting noticed in a crowded blogging space.
An additional question coming to my mind. Why some years ago my post used to get more attention? I passed some years without be able to visualise my posts into my account until one day someone commented about Steempro. And then I see this like reborn again. But my post are very like ignored. I need to learn how to understand the algorithms, I am trying to post regularly even if it is difficult to get engagement and motivation.
