Want More Retweets? Use 'Quotes' And Hashtags On Twitter [STUDY]

Tweets that contain hashtags are 55 percent more likely be retweeted than tweets that did not, while those that included a quotation were 30 percent more likely to be retweeted, reveals new data from Hubspot’s Dan Zarrella.

Zarrella tracked more than 1.2 million messages on Twitter and discovered that using one or more hashtags in tweets was an effective way to generate retweets – certainly more so than using no hashtags at all.

Additionally, tweets that included quotation marks also faired better than those that did not, although the difference was below that of hashtags.

No word on the impact of tweets that contain both hashtags and quotes, but it must be mind-blowing.
