A hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by a hash or pound sign (#) and used to identify messages on a specific topic. They are used on social media such as twitter and Instagram but have extended to other social media platforms.

On twitter the hashtag turns any word or group of words that directly follow it into a searchable link.

This allows you to organize content and track discussion topics based on those keywords. So, if you wanted to post about Wealthy Affiliate, you would include #wealthyaffiliate in your tweet to join the conversation. Click on a hashtag to see all the posts that mention the subject in real time.

Quick question, maybe I missed this. Do we use #hashtags in our blog post?

Now I know a little more about hashtags. They have been confusing for me and I tend to stay away from them. This has helped. Thank you. :)
