Should You Use Hashtags on Twitter?
As you probably expect, there is no yes or no answer to this question, and the real answer is that it depends! And what does it depend on, you may ask? In short, it mostly depend on whether you can use hashtags in the right way or not, but we will talk more about later in this article.
So what does a Twitter hashtag do and what is it? A Twitter hashtag ties the conversations of different users into one stream, which you can find by searching the hashtag in Twitter Search or by using a third-party monitoring tool.
Hashtags have long been an important tool on Twitter for helping users organize and sort their tweets. Using hashtags is a great way to make people who are truly interested in your Tweets find them, and since the content you put out should be somehow relevant to the tags you are using, they often generate good results.

Think about:
1. Relevant hashtags
What you want to do is to use hashtags that are relevant to your Tweets. Once you decide on a keyword or a phrase to use, search for it on Twitter search. Simply visit Search.Twitter.com and type in the hashtag you were thinking about using in the search box. There you can see how popular it is and if it is associated with the type of content you plan on sharing. If it is – you’re good to go!
2.Your own hashtag
3.Top pages
Top pages is a place where you want to end up. Top Tweets are Tweets that lots of people are interacting with and sharing via Retweets, replies, and more. If Tweets you love aren’t showing up as top Tweets, it means those Tweets may not be part of the widespread conversation. Posts on Top pages appear in the Top Tweets that has been shared with that particular hashtag.
Shortly summarized, Top posts are Tweets ending up on Top pages. These Tweets end up there because they have been widely shared, liked and commented on. The Tweets that end up on top pages are there until more popular content comes along.
If there aren’t a lot of tweets getting interactions, the ones from more influential accounts rise to the top. If you haven´t figured it out yet, ending up on top pages is extremely good thanks to all the exposure you will get.
Think about if you post a Tweet with a hashtag that has been used 5M+ times!
4.Trending hashtags
Trending topics are those topics being discussed more than others. As Twitter explains trending topics, “Twitter Trends are automatically generated by an algorithm that attempts to identify topics that are being talked about more right now than they were previously. If you can join the chat and use the trending hashtag, then there´s a big chance that you will get more exposure than you normally do.
