Question About Using Twitter Hash Tags

by trentonlaura
6 replies
When I'm using hash tags to label two or more word phrases like "affiliate marketing", should it be kept all as one: #affiliatemarketing, or should it be: #affiliate marketing.

By disconnecting the two words, only "affiliate" turns up with the hash tag, but I guess if someone searches in twitter for "#affiliate marketing" then I'll obviously turn up.

I'm a bit unclear on this because it seems to me that the hashtag adds nothing special to the search, it's just something which the user themselves gave power to so that they could differentiate something which was specifically meant to be searched for.

I'd love some clarity here, thanks!

    Laura when hashtagging two or more words, you don't 'disconnect' words. So for your above example, you would just put #affiliatemarketing.

    If you put it in a #affliliatemarketing, it'll come up under that hashtag. Most people savvy enough to do a search for a hashtag will search for the term without the break in the words.

    If you don't use a hashtag, then if someone searches for "affiliate marketing," they will find it with just the words.

    You can use both:

    "Want to learn more about affiliate marketing? Check out my blog. #affiliatemarketing #marketing #business" (Just as an example)

    If you want it to show up as a linked hashtag it needs to be together as in #affiliatemarketing. However, as you mention you can just say the word affiliate marketing in your tweet and it will show up whenever someone searches affiliate marketing or affiliate or marketing.

    Usually I use #affiliatemarketing or #affiliate_marketing. But before that I go to Twitter search engine and test both to see which one has more posts or would reach more readers. Then I use the winner
