If you are trying to find out popular hashtags, you can use a tool like Rite Tag. There is a Chrome extension for Rite Tag that will let you check specific text and images to get hashtag suggestions.

There is a free version of Hashtagify to get data on popular hashtags and find out who is using particular hashtags, the geographic reach and the languages reach. They have a paid version for more features.

Tweet Archivist provides real-time data for Day-Of searches. They also have a free version that will provide you with a report of the top URLs and words from your search. If you want to download the data, then you will need the paid version. Keyhole will also let you search in real-time.

Trendsmap will show you local hashtags that are trending. This is a great tool for local businesses since you can find out what the most popular topics are in your local area. The free tool lets you search for real-time data, but if you want to research historical data with a lot more capabilities, you will need their paid version.

To Success!

Listen in to my Radio Interview on the Jim Blasingame Small Business Advocate Radio Show where we talk about the issues Linkedin is facing with fake accounts:

Requests from strangers on Linkedin have not generally been an issue in the past, but with a recent onslaught of hackers using Linkedin to get your personal information/connections/email address, etc.; they are having an easier time getting people to click on an email that contains malware, all because they have established themselves as a personal connection on Linkedin with a fake account.

Linkedin is urging it’s users to be careful who you connect with and investigate before you click “Accept”. The compromised Linkedin accounts are used to send phishing links via a private message and via InMail.

Linkedin has a team dedicated to getting rid of fake accounts and asks you to report fake accounts to them – you can do that here:

As always, be careful what you click on!

According to Google, they will move websites over to the Mobile First Index as they see that the websites are ready.

Listen to my show with Jim Blasingame on the Small Business Advocate Radio as we discuss the impact on Small Business:

This means that you still have time to get your website Mobile-Ready or in a Responsive Design. Google will be serving up search results with the Mobile Index first, thus it is especially important for small businesses to be sure to update their sites.

What happens if you don’t update your website to Mobile-Ready? Chances are you won’t come up in Search.
