Title: Cant understand the hashtag thing
Post by: Viking11 on October 29, 2014, 10:31:17 AM
I get the original idea of hashtags on twitter to link to a company's web pages or what have you.  But I don't get the point of people, mostly females, posting hashtags which aren't links to anything... Why do they do this?

They were originally essentially search terms. Now they are mostly sarcasm or advertising programs.

Sometimes the hashtags are legit and will take you to sites that have something in common with what you posted on Instagram...

I've literally no idea what 'instagram' is. Twitter I know of vaguely,  just another place for attention whores to puke their mindless ramblings

It can be a great marketing tool if properly used. Lets say you have a BB tank top you want to market. You can send a tweet to a potential customer and have it seen by hundreds, maybe thousands.

Example:   Hey John take a look at our new designs on our web site http://mywebsite #bodybuilding.com #flexmagazine #ironmanmagazine #musculardevelopment. The web site will show as pink or blue and a click will get you on your web page. The #hashtags will land your tweet ALSO into the twitter account of everyone who ever used that word or those words in a search or message. Hundreds...thousands. It takes a bit of initial management but can take off.

I am marketing a book and have had people visit my site from 15 countries incl. Russia in the past 4 days. Being a rank amateur on web marketing I recommend goggling to learn more.

Title: Re: Cant understand the hashtag thing
Post by: Viking11 on October 29, 2014, 10:32:33 PM
I get that part. The original point was that the marketing makes sense.  But on social media, a whole lot of peopel in the fitness industy, mostly women do this "Had an awesome workout!  #totalfitnessmotivation #gome #fitnessbabeforever #glutessore..." That will be the who post, and none of it links to anything...   Is it to be cute, because they can't write sentences, or just a stupid meaningless trend.??

Like an attention magnet, but only to those who give a shit.

Like an attention magnet, but only to those who give a shit.

Does it link to something, though? Does it just become a long thread? Say I gave a shit, do I just retweet with the same hashtag? Totally lost here.

Doesn't seem too effective if it doesn't link, it would seem.

A short explanation,

Using hashtags to categorize Tweets by keyword:

    People use the hashtag symbol # before a relevant keyword or phrase (no spaces) in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets and help them show more easily in Twitter Search.
    Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets marked with that keyword.
    Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet – at the beginning, middle, or end.
    Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.

Example: In the Tweet below, @eddie included the hashtag #FF. Users created this as shorthand for "Follow Friday," a weekly tradition where users recommend people that others should follow on Twitter. You'll see this on Fridays.

Using hashtags correctly:

    If you Tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your Tweet
    Don't #spam #with #hashtags. Don't over-tag a single Tweet. (Best practices recommend using no more than 2 hashtags per Tweet.)
    Use hashtags only on Tweets relevant to the topic.
