How Hashtags can be used in SEO? Google Launching Hashtag Search, do you think it would impact SEO?

Answer-

If you search for a keyword on Google with or without the pound character, there are both differences and a lot of overlap; the differences mean that trying to specifically target the hashtag could help you rank when people look for that.

The real question, imho, is how often will people search for the hashtag (with the pound), instead of just searching for the keyword. Targeting hashtags will become important in SEO if many people will start searching for keywords-with-the-pound.
