    Social media marketing "advises" that simply don't work - Hashtags

    We've all heard them and seen them all over the place, social media marketing "tips" that are regurgitated time after time on blogs and in tutorials.

    So I'm going to share a list of "tricks" that actually DON'T work, because your time is precious and you should focus on things that actually increase your website's value.

    1. Hashtags - Are totally ineffective on Facebook and Google+. Of course, they may add some value on twitter but overusing them is a big mistake. The more hashtags you have, the fewer interactions you get.

    The above stats makes me wonder if you actually get MORE interaction with no hashtags whatsoever.

    Do you think hashtags benefit anyone? Do you get more interactions when having more hashtags or do you simply drop them altogether?

    This is an interesting topic Cristian. I use hashtags for my social media marketing. I don't go wild with it like I've seen a lot of people do.
    And I dont use hash tags in every post. I find that they are very effective for Twitter marketing but when I use them on FAcebook I find hashtags to be a pain. In fact I am sure using hashtags on FAcebook has occasionally had a negative impact instead of a positive one.

    I think hashtags are for Twitter as you said and it still surprises me why many users of facebook try to use it. I mean it is only when people are much interested in finding a post that you hashtagged is when they will look out for it. Aside from that, hashtag does not work on facebook that much.

    Hashtags help your content to be grouped into certain categories. hashtags improve the visibility of your contents, however, using too many hashtags look spammy and people may never check the content that uses too many hashtags. You should understand hashtags as keywords that best describe your content, you should use hashtags as you use meta tags, Therefore 2-3 hashtags will do justice.

    I first heard the term hashtag sometime in 2013 but I didn’t mind it because for all I know, it is only used in Twitter. Am I right on this? But later on, I have been seeing posts on Facebook that included hashtag at the end of the caption. Most of the hashtags are about the feelings or emotion like #tired or #vibrant. Until now, I am still seeing many posts with hashtags that I assume are posts in Twitter with an echo in Facebook. But to be honest, I am quite confused about those hashtags. Thank you for clearing the matter to me. Now I know that hashtags are mere symbols in Facebook and has no other effect.
