    I know that if you use # enough for a keyword you will come up under #keyword. But as far as ranking I think they will rank social networks first then normal keyword rankings if you know what I mean.

        First you ask about hashtags in a url...

        Then get a bunch of slushy answers about social....

        Either you are talking about hashtags in a url, or you are
        talking hashtags on twitter, FB.

        They are not the same.

        Hashtags in social have squat to do with SEO.

        Targeting a specific part of a page can have some effects.

        So, which are you talking about?

        Don't matter. I answered them both.

        If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

          I was mainly asking about hashtags on a page. I'll be honest, though, hashtags in general are kind of confusing to me. I get it why social media hashtags would/should/do not have anything to do with seo, but then why would/could they influence on-page seo? Is it because search engines are seeing, say "#cat"and "cat" as 2 totally different keywords because of number of characters or something?
