It was quite some time back (in 2007) that the concept of hashtags was introduced. This explosion of usage on social media sites has tapered off in the last few years to form into something that we no longer view as new, but instead more as something that just is. The hashtag has the power to group messages together while spreading new information to aid people in their search for you.

With this boosted spread of information, hashtags inevitably increase your marketing efforts overall exposure. The trouble many marketers run into is that they either don’t use hashtags in posts that they could fit well into or that the hashtags they use aren’t completely relevant because of poor research.

Additionally, hashtags can easily be monitored and placed into a visual representation of their popularity for use by marketers. Below are a few websites and extensions that allow you to get information on how to use the hashtag and how they can fit into your social media marketing strategy.
