Hashtags, words we use to label and search social media, are like keywords. If you are still work only with keywords, then it’s time to understand what is more typical in many social media users hands and that is hashtags.
Most of the major social media platforms use hashtags: Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are a few where the use of hashtags can help you be more findable.
But just like we might analyze the right key words, a similar understanding of hashtags will help increase visitors to your blog or website.
Here is how and where you get to learn from the best analysis of eight selected bloggers who revealed their use of one particularly advanced hashtag tool.
Last month I participated in a blogging contest at https://blog.hashtagify.me/

I can always count on you to point me in the right direction with great tools. I am embarrassed to say hash tags are something I have little to know knowledge of. I will take the time to check out all that you’ve mentioned to help bring myself up to speed. Thank you again my friend. 🙂
I’ll be honest, I forget to use hashtags all the time. Anything that helps to make it even easier and get the right keywords is great.
Hashtags is something we should all try to benefit from. Have to say that, like Debra, I seldom use them. The main reason is that I use two languages. It’s actually easier to find the right hashtags in English than in Swedish. Catch is for my business I need them in Swedish:-)
Patricia- I really haven\’t used Hashtags. I would love to vote for you, but not to sound stupid, I have no idea how to vote for you. I went to the link Even #introverts can profitably use #hashtags Please give me very detailed (rumper room )directions.( remember my age group) and I will anything I can to help you
Arleen — We are on the same boat. I always forget to Hashtag in-fact when I remember to add the Hashtag usually I don’t add it into post. From the starting time I am not much familiar with the Hashtag
I’m using hashtags more and more all the time. I’ve even started a spreadsheet where I can collect ones related to writing. I also follow various ones related to food and travel. I resisted the urge for awhile, but I’ve also started to add one at the end of each blog post title.
