#Hashtags

Hashtags are words or phrases preceded by the hash sign that social networks turn into searchable, clickable labels. They group posts on the same subject so people can discover content beyond the accounts they already follow. Their importance differs a lot between networks: some rely on them heavily for discovery, while others now lean more on keywords and recommendation systems. For blogs and businesses, hashtags are mainly a way to help shared articles reach people interested in a specific topic. Articles under this tag cover how to choose, format and limit hashtags when distributing blog content on social media.
