Last year, Facebook introduced the feature of "hashtags" just like Twitter. Actually now a days there is a buzz of the feature not used properly. 

 

In Twitter, as there is limited characters that are allowed to post, the use of hashtags is must to inform people searching for a particular keyword. That keyword is added with a hashtag as a prefix. Each hashtag has its own URL and when a user clicks on that hashtag, the information related to that word is displayed on the list of tweets. 

In Facebook, use of hashtags can be done to start a particular topic in a group or a fan page or a regular wall post. 

For business fan pages, follow the steps to use hashtags. 

• First make a list of 15 - 20 keywords that are related to your business 
• Then pick up the most attractive or alluring words that can bring visitors to your fan page
