(Newswire.net — October 6, 2015) — Newswire.net announces the addition of Twitter® hashtag support to its bag of search optimization tools available to its users. Hashtags have been recognized as a great source of traffic for press release articles. https://youtu.be/d3Kc7PZKFC4. To support that finding, Newswire.net has added user controls for its member/writers https://youtu.be/6wlsT1UuZQg .
According to Ivan Budimir, Chief Technical Officer at Newswire “The addition of hashtags to the already robust set of tools available to Newswire.net users means that as readers Tweet, and re-Tweet user generated stories, those stories will be categorized by Twitter under the tags that the writer deems relevant to their stories”.
Budimir continues, “Even a relatively small number of Tweets, so long as they contain the proper hashtags has the effect of pinning a press release to the top of Twitter hashtag searches.”.
Newswire has long supported Google News Keywords, Schema micro-data, Twitter Cards, as well as Facebook Open Graph protocols, but, according to Budimir the addition of hashtags can often double or even triple the views that an article receives on Newswire.
Bring Massive Twitter Traffic to your Press Release
If you happen to be writing about a topic that is trending on Twitter, the sky can truly be the limit to where your article can go with twitter. Budimir points to a recent post that was able to incorporate both the hashtags #Clinton and # Snowden. http://newswire.net/newsroom/news/00090207-snowden-accused-clinton-for-jeopardize-national-security.html This article received over 50,000 views and nearly 30,000 tweets in just one day.
The new hashtag feature on Newswire.net is hardly noticed by the readers of Newswire articles. When a reader chooses to Tweet an article that they like on Newswire, they need only click on the sharing button located at the top of each article. The difference is that the Tweet they now send will include not only the URL of the article, but the title of the article and the hashtags designated by the writer.
PressRoom Plugin
The new hashtag feature follows closely on the heels of another Newswire innovation, a PressRoom plugin that can be incorporated into any website. A press room is a special place on a website that is designed around the needs of bloggers and journalists. The PressRoom page contains all of the information that a writer needs to write about your company, in the downloadable form that they need it. This plugin is free for all at https://wordpress.org/plugins/pressroom-by-newswire/. More information can also be found at the plugin site http://www.instantpressroom.com/
