A typical post picks up 711 interactions against 293K followers, an engagement rate of 0.242%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 75% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 37K times each, and 1.90% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 12.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.47 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 44% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 103x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Jeff Darlington's engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 61% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.242%, Jeff Darlington sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,676 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.679%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,676 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,897 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 22:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

  • 44% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 203 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    As you watch Aaron Rai in the PGA Championship, you might notice he uses iron covers for his clubs and wears two gloves — two habits often viewed as golf faux pas. But both are actually inspiring. Rai grew up in a working-class family in England, where his father sacrificed heavily to support his golf career. When Aaron got an expensive set of irons as a kid, his dad would clean every groove with a pin and baby oil after practice because the clubs meant that much to them. The iron covers became a reminder to appreciate what you have. And the two gloves? Rai started wearing them as a kid during cold-weather golf in England and eventually became so comfortable with the feel that he never stopped. Not gimmicks. Just gratitude… and comfort.

    My 36-year run at the Sun-Sentinel is over. Laid off for the first time since I lost my job as an ice-rink skate guard at 17. Cost-cutting move then, they said, too. I'm a month from 65, so please keep any sympathy for my newspaper friends who didn’t make it to the finish line like I have. I’m looking forward to doing some things I want to do so before the hall narrows and the light dims so you might not be completely done with me yet. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun run.

    Travis Kelce now has more yards after the catch than anyone in NFL history, and when you strip away all of the fame, all of the personality, all of the accolades, that might be the record that truly personifies Kelce’s football career. That’s a number that stands on its own.

    I know this is obviously a very, very bad day for Drake Maye, but don’t let it cause you to miss the other reality of this game: The Jaguars are one of the NFL’s best teams. They’re built the right way. Tough on defense, more and more consistent on offense every week.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 711 interactions against 293K followers, an engagement rate of 0.242%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 75% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 37K times each, and 1.90% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 12.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.47 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 44% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 103x its own typical post.

What is Jeff Darlington's engagement rate on X?
Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) has an engagement rate of 0.242%, based on the median interactions across 9 original posts from the last 30 days against 292,957 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.242%, Jeff Darlington sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,676 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @JeffDarlington have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @JeffDarlington post?
Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.47 posts per day across the measured window.
