HASHTAG POPULARITY AND USAGE

This is a selection of popular hashtags that you’ll find useful when composing your tweets. They’re sectioned into groups and subjects with the highest value hashtags at the top of each group.

Legend:

Hashtag/Popularity/Usage/Details

#YA/63/50/Young Adult

In other words, the hashtag is #YA, it has a popularity is 63, its usage is 50 and YA stands for Young Adult

Usually, an s can be added to the end of a hashtag like #Mom to give you #Moms. I’ve only listed both if they’re both popular.

Popular hashtags go through phases in usage. For example, #NaNoWriMo will be much more popular and used a lot more often around the month of November, when NaNoWriMo is on. So you need two numbers to decide whether or not to use a popular hashtag in your tweets: popularity and usage. Get it wrong and you’ll spam that hashtag, get it right and you’ll experience incredibly powerful marketing.

The following values where taken on 1st November, 2014 from http://hashtagify.me/ I recommend you use them to find more hashtags to suit your book, product or website.
