Hashtag # All About It

#hashtag is a meta data tag with a pound sign that when added to a keyword or phrase becomes a category or a topic. This leads to accumulation of data on particular social media on that particular tag. For example if you create hashtag #SEO and add it to content on say facebook it will be assimilated along all posts that are hashtagged #SEO.   

Whenever someone clicks on the #SEO has take he or she will be forwarded to a page with lot of contents, pages or links leading to that particular topic. These tags can be created on any topic especially those that are trending. For example #cricketworldcup19 a click on this tag will lead you to all information page associated with the event on FaceBook. 

In order to apply a hashtag just type a keyword and add # before it. Take care there should be no gap in between the word or phrase as  have shown on the example above. #cricketworldcup19 . 

Some of the social media on which these tags are active and searchable are Twitter, FB, Youtube and LinkedIn.  Social Media professionals must make use of this attribute but take care to use it wisely and in limitation usually one of two. Some media platforms have limited the use of this attribute to maximum thirty  or maximum 400 characters I believe.      

Webmasters use this tag in their #optimization strategy for increasing the exposure of their content but this should be strictly limited in order to avoid being labeled as spam. The attribute helps you to get assimilated in a similar category or topic. It can thus reach a target audience and hence increase exposure.
