Twitter why hashtag

Hashtags have long been an important tool on Twitter for helping users organize and sort their tweets. Just last week, though, Twitter released a new study claiming that using hashtags in your tweets can actually kill your click-through rate. Not in my experience, anyway.

For example, my top tweet for the month so far is this one, which uses the ConvRoadTrip hashtag. Despite earning just 5 retweets, this one tweet had over 28, impressions!

None of those retweets were from ridiculously influential people, yet it had 5x more impressions than my tweets usually get. The secret? Now, you do have an advantage here if you have worked on building your Twitter following and are considered somewhat influential. Recently I made this fairly unremarkable tweet about a Mobilegeddon blog post. And if you select a hashtag, you'll see other posts that have used it.

This is an easy way to see what's happening on Twitter and follow along with popular topics. If you want to use multiple words in a hashtag, do not include any spaces. For example, if you wrote beach sunrise , only beach would be counted as a hashtag. Get all the data you need in easy-to-read dashboards and charts.
