As you should know by now from the awesome online training here at Wealthy Affiliate, there are a few different kind of TAGS in regards to website content creation. Each of these tags have different functions but all have a common purpose, to help get our content to be seen and ranked in search engines.

TAG – YOU’RE IT

But when it comes to the posting of our website links and other content on social media, there is another kind of tag that needs to be used. This tag is called a HASHTAG and it is used mainly when posting to social media. But what is a hashtag and why are they important? Let me give you the simple answer below.

What keywords are to our website content creation, hashtags are to social media posts. In essence they are like keywords and categories for what we post on social media, to make it easier for people to find. The only difference in their use is that unlike keywords, where low competition is required for best results, a hashtag that is more popular gets better results.
