Why you shouldn't add links to your social posts
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.

Customer Reviews
Ridiculous Value
This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. It's like a masterclass in social media. So good that I've gone into their Libsyn account to get the early episodes that aren't in RSS and have uploaded them to my Overcast premium account so I can listen to the whole thing right through. Thank you so much to Buffer for putting this out there.
Full of value!
The buffer podcast is absolutely phenomenal! It overdelivers in value every time! And i think that dave and heather are doinga great job taking on the responsibility for the podcast. 💪🏼
Weekly insights into the latest trends and tips for social media
The Buffer podcast is one of my weekly must listens. Less than 15 minutes long this is a great way to keep up-to-date with the ever changing social media landscape. As the title ‘The Science of Social Media’ suggests, this is very much evidence-based, so very few theories or best practice tips are mentioned without them having been tested and proved by the Buffer team. If you’re struggling to keep up with the impact of the latest algorithmic changes this is the quickest and most effective way to stay informed.
