Trick The Medium Algorithm To Get More Views — Make Mistakes on Purpose
Yes, I’m not even kidding, it’s possible!
It’s an algorithm nothing more. You can trick it to get more views. The only thing you need to know is how to do it.
Guess what, you just landed on the right article for that.
Here is how you do it!
Make mistakes
Just like we’ve learned to get an education and a great job, we’ve also learned to make no grammatical mistakes in our articles on Medium.
But not making mistakes is a mistake
What will happen if you make mistakes?
You’ll experience gramma warriors who will point your mistakes out in the comment section.
That’s actually good. Allow me to explain.
The algorithm doesn’t know the difference between positive feedback and comments from gramma worriers.
So the algorithm will interpret the negative comments about your mistakes as normal engagement, thus it will display your article to more readers.
Final thoughts
- No, you should not make spelling mistakes in every single article, only once in a while
- It’s not only spelling mistakes that will drive high engagement, but also thought-provoking topics
- I don’t make mistakes on purpose, but I don’t do a thorough spelling analysis after each article I write — So mistakes will occur, I’m sorry.
