    There are two types of traffic
    #One which follows a link, just because someone forwarded to them or they happened to see it
    #The other which types a particular interest in the search box and reaches your website

    Which of the two is more prone to clicking to ads or buying stuff from you, of course someone who has specifically searched for your stuff and not the one came through clicking the link

    All social bookmarking and twitter like sites bring in traffic without doubt, but does the traffic convert - a BIG NO

    Twitter does not help you directly in regards to seo since every link is nofollowed - however adding something to twitter will probably increase your traffic, thus earning you more natural links over time.

    Twitter is a great way to direct people towards your main site, it requires much less time with the maximum characters per posting is 140. Twitter allows you to easily inform your customers about any new products or offers that you may be wanting to promote. The benefits of twitters are:
    - More popularity
    - More viral stories
    - More fun
    - More socialization

    Twitter is very helpful in giving your site good traffic(aside from social bookmaking site).
    Common thing we do is just post, without thinking what would it make readers think when they read it...
    Twitter is one of the task that would greatly help your site, if done right and with some luck you'll get tons of unique visits everyday... :)

    Oh! btw, thanks Loco.M in posting this thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1219295 :D

    No. Twitter is not profitable for SEO, it;s profitable for promotion and instant traffic it's not valuable for SEO. As per my knowledge any social networking site doesnot have SEO valu it will give you instant traffic so it will not give you any kind of backlink

    Great promotional tool, twitter. Try to use it once a day at least. If you have something interesting to say, people will cotton on, follow you, and it'll well build up interest/traffic/reputation and sales!

    I agree with you to a certain extent, but I think a big variability is in the quality of the site you are sending the traffic to. If it is a small one page site or parked page I think the people hit their back button faster than they even read half of it, but if the site you are sending traffic to has some worthy content and catches their interest, you may find the retention, bookmarking, and conversion to be a little better.

    Twitter is good for traffic I don't think will have any SEO value.

    No SEO value in social networks but promotion and visits ... and plenty of time to work on them.

    I dont know much about using Twitter as an seo tool, but the advertising potential is endless. All you gotta do is get alot of followers and submit a tweet about whatever you're trying to promote. By doing this you should see atleast a hundred clicks.

    Hi,

    I use the search function in Twitter to find out what others are looking for. From there, I will reply to their tweets and provide some links hoping that they will visit the websites.
