Knowledge Base
2 itemsLinkedIn Algorithm: How Posts Get Distributedframework
Summary of van der Blom's annual LinkedIn Algorithm Research Reports (2022-2024 editions): LinkedIn distributes posts through three phases: (1) Automated quality filter (spam check, policy compliance), (2) Initial distribution to 2-5% of followers to measure engagement velocity, (3) Expanded distribution based on dwell time and early engagement signals. Key finding: comments outweigh likes by approximately 6:1 in the engagement score. Posts with external links in the body are suppressed; links in comments perform better.
Content-to-Conversation Pipeline for B2B LinkedInframework
Van der Blom's published approach to LinkedIn as a B2B sales channel uses content as a warm-up layer before outreach. The pipeline: (1) Post educational or opinionated content that attracts the target ICP, (2) Identify profile visitors and post engagers who match the ICP, (3) Connect with a personalised reference to the content they engaged with, (4) Open DM conversation with value, not a pitch. The content layer raises response rates because the prospect already knows who you are.
