561Shares

#Hashtags are the best way to track how impactful your marketing campaign was. You, as a business owner or an agency running a campaign on social media, need a Hashtag tracker and analytic tool to correctly measure the reach and engagement of your campaign. If you are an agency, you also need a tool to create a report for you, which you can further share with your client.

In the market, there are many Twitter hashtag trackers and analytics tools that you can find these days. However, picking the best which offers all modern features and does not put a hole in your pocket is another challenge. In this resource post, I have shared some of the best Twitter hashtag trackers which provide analytics and reporting services, and their prices are affordable.

These tools are ideal for Agencies, freelancers, influencers, and brands.

The first use of the term “hash tag” was in a blog post by Stowe Boyd, “Hash Tags = Twitter Groupings,” on 26 August 2007, according to lexicographer Ben Zimmer, chair of the American Dialect Society’s New Words Committee.

Hashtags are not much different from the ‘keywords for finding information. The way that hashtags make communications filterable and organized could be put to great use for getting feedback and suggestions. All that can be said is that hashtags are way beyond powerful, and to manage them, you need tools. Tools are power in your hands, and there are many powerful tools to manage hashtags effectively and make the most of them.

Below are 5 of the best Twitter hashtag tracking and analytics tools that will help you to get the most out of Twitter.

    Hi Srikanth, that was a great read!
    A bit of a biased opinion as I work for the company but if I could recommend one tool, that would be https://brand24.com. Whenever a hashtag gets mentioned anywhere online, a user receives a real-time notification and can take a necessary action. With its mobile app, you can also easily keep track of all the buzz while on the go.
    Worth mentioning is the fact it’s more than just a hashtag tracking tool. With the built-in internal search bar, it only takes seconds to reach the top-priority mentions and exclude not so relevant ones. A range of additional filters allows for sorting the results according to different criteria. On top of that, the collected data is also analyzed in terms of a number of mentions, reach, influence, sentiment etc.

    Nice set of tools for Twitter. I was using Tagboard for tracking Tweets by hashtags until I ran into this site called Qweboo. Wow this site blew my mind. It turns your Twitter Timeline into manageable interest networks using Hashtag community pages.

    It’s a good collection.I was searching for it since some days. Can we use Twitter hashtags for increasing the Twitter traffic or twitter followers ?

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      @Chamal
      Indeed you can. If you jump into a related conversation which is trending and have something unique and meaningful to offer, you can drive immense amount of traffic + genuine backlinks using hashtags appropriately.
