3 Benefits to using Hashtags

Gain Followers  - You can gain thousands of followers in a few days when you have great hashtags. The thing you must remember is to properly manage conversations to provide relevant information to keep discussion on topic.  I created a hashtag (#secontentnetwork) on Twitter for my site I started. Since you are reading this post then I recommend that you check out Syndication Express since it is a blog syndication community for bloggers and article writers.


Improve Reputation - Trending topics encourages others to follow your future conversations and it will help you to build your reputation with your followers.



Get Information - You can find related conversations and gain more interested followers when you have good hashtags. Also you can monitor the impact and use of your hashtag. I believe this is a very good thing especially if there is activity such as retweets and conversations. This is a social signal which Google uses for indexing and ranking your links.


When you are ready to create a hashtag for Twitter or any other social site. I have a few tips to share with you. A hashtag is only effective if people want to use it.

Make Hashtags Concise

Your hashtag must not be too long.  If it's too long it won't get used.

Make Hashtags Conversational

If it's too common your post will disappear.

Make Hashtags Unique

This is most important of all and I don't have to elaborate on this one. BE ORIGINAL AND MAKE SURE IT BRANDS YOU!

Performance Indicators

Reposts/Shares - You can see how many people have retweeted/shared your post.

Replies - People who are following the conversation and adding to it. This is a social signal as well.

Link Visits - If there is a link in your post, you can see how many people have followed your link.

Hashtag Volume -  How many times does the hashtag occur. You can see the hashtag feed
(put into the Twitter search engine) of people who are using the hashtags that
will give you exposure in your niche, plus online branding and they will most
likely follow you. Your network of followers will grow daily when you follow
what I am sharing with you.

Tracking Methods

Hashtags Apps - Allows you to track hashtags use within social media sites and some even breaks down the demographics.

Social Analytics Tool - They allow you to graph overall performance for a period of time.

Actual Responses - You can follow the conversation to see what people are saying or participate to direct the conversation to show good will. You can reply or retweet it and Twitter will send them a notification. This is a social signal too for the search engines. Many times I have gained new followers by doing this.

Search Engines - Some social media sites let you search by hashtag to see if you have positive results. You can type into Google the hashtag I created for my site Syndication Express (#secontentnetwork) and see the results that are indexed in Google plus other search engines. Also you can use the Twitter search engine and see the blog content that's coming from my site. This means exposure and traffic for people that are using the hashtag I created for my site for bloggers and article writers.

Finally I will close now by extending an invitation to join Syndication Express and I hope that you understand how powerful and beneficial it is to use Twitter hashtags to brand your business and increase your exposure online.

It works and the simple fact is, YOU HAVE 11 WAYS TO GET TRAFFIC HERE.

On March 15, 2014 I had a campaign that ran for 16 hours and 47 minutes. I got 70,000 views of my ad.
I received 50+ clicks, 3 signups to my list and expecting more to come this week. This is because of using LETTER ADS on Tezak Traffic Power. It's just one of the ways I drive traffic to my website using Tezak Traffic Power traffic exchange.

Twitter - Marketing Your Business Using Hashtags

Are YOU on Twitter? If not then you must get an account after reading this post. The information I'm about to share will help you to get massive exposure and traffic using Twitter.

Today I will be talking about the Twitter hashtag. Those who are not familiar with it, I am going to tell you what it is.

The hashtag is power and was first used on Twitter. Now other social media sites are beginning to use it. It will allow you to search for a targeted market or group of people in real time. Keep reading and learn more about it.

The hashtag is more commonly known as the pound sign, it was also short for the word number. It serves two purposes  in Twitter. First it signifies a group of people who have come together on the same subject and second, its used to use the Twitter search engine to find topics of more specific interest.

An example of how I use it for my content syndication network for bloggers and article writers. I created a hashtag so that site members can use Twitter search by typing the hashtag I created in the search engine and they can see all the blog post that members have made on the site.  They can click the link and read the post from the site, leave comment/reply and retweet it to their followers. This is a great way to give that post more exposure, social signal and traffic as well.

Since our community is a group of bloggers and article writers, we all take time to read, comment and share blog post to the various social and bookmarking sites for SEO purposes.

Now let's say you want to search for people who are bloggers, so you would type in
(#bloggers or #blog) and your search results will give you people who have used this keyword in their tweet in real time. This is a way to meet other bloggers and interact with them. You can follow them or retweet their tweet. They will get an email that you retweeted their tweet, now they will follow you back. You can now send them an email to communicate and get to know them, this is relationship building and it is critical to do this especially if you are marketing a product or service using your blog. 

Where should you place your hashtag? Using it at the start of the message can allow the message to update a whole group of people in real time. You can put it in the middle or the end of the message and you should never use no more than three hashtags in a message because it will be seen as spam. I have been noticing that some people are using hashtags in the description of their profile, it serves no purpose because it shows people that you don't know how to use the hashtag.

In closing I will share one more thing you should know about hashtags and this is very important. Your content should be characterized meaning that it should be used before a keyword or phrase on Twitter. An example is (#networkmarketing or #network #marketing) your message might look like this "How to generate #networkmarketing leads!" or your message might say "#network #marketing lead generation training."  You can categorize specific tweets and they are easy to find in Twitter search. Your tweeted message will be in the category of network marketing and for the hashtag or keyword in real time. A warning you should know about, hashtags will not be found in private search.

If you have found my post informative then please comment below and share on your favorite social site so more people will know about the hashtag on Twitter and it's use.

Thank you for reading and I wish you much success in all you do.
