Twitter - Trending

[IWYS]

Ok, so i am getting to grips with Twitter now and love it. I would like to know more about trending though. Please could anyone explain this to me?

Also if something it trending #UKBF is it good to include this trend in one of your tweets?

Would really love to get to grips with this.

Thanks

Trending (as you probably know) is the most popular topics on Twitter. For example, yesterday was football transfer deadline day, and obviously it's being talked about a lot on Twitter. So #transferdeadlineday was trending.

Getting involved with trends can increase your followers, as if people click on the trend, all of the tweets that include that trend come up, so that's how they could stumble across your account.

You have probably read this article already, but just in case you haven't, you should look at the Twitter's article on trending topics here.

On my personal Twitter account, I always get involved with the trending topics, sometimes random people Retweet me and obviously all their followers then see my tweet and that's how tweets spread around.

Sorry if I haven't hit the nail on the head here

If you're in a niche that doesn't really make headline news often, it takes much more research and creativity to jump on to trends.

If you like and are getting on well with Twitter you should also consider 'Google+' (personal) and 'Google+ Pages' (business etc) since you can do a lot more with that and you could be helping your website appear better in Google Search albeit there is no guarantee with this.
