Twitter has been around for a while now and its use in seo is fast rising too. It has become a social networking seo tool for marketing. Even though it redirects link with no follow, when you post links to great stuff or product most of your followers share them. Some will blog about them, retweet them and that way their own followers get to see your links and that's how you market on there.
Twitter is useful in SEO. If you really want to make an impression, tweet every once in a while about something that has nothing to do with your business. Tweet some life lessons or post a clean joke for people to read when they are bored. But don't overdo it because you don't want to bore people. When you do this your followers will see that you want to entertain them and aren't only there to get their business. They'll like you more and you'll get more followers that way. When you start adding followers, you start adding good targeted leads that could lead to sales and profits for you. You will find that if you give away some of your time you will be rewarded for doing so in the long run.
I won't comment on Importance of Twitter in SEO but certainly it will help for getting better traffic which is vital for online growth ! If you are thinking in term of baclinks from tiwtter then forget it they are NOFOLLOW
Do-Follow links are not the only element to improve your SERP. Traffic is also a factor. Twitter is helping us such a way.
Makes sense. Traffic is important for SERPs. My question though is this - does it carry more weight if others post your links or if they come from your own account with the same link in your profile?
when do you know twitter account is working well. when your followers are many or when you are following many guys. am also a newbie whta the best way to build my account.
When you have plenty of followers, just because you are following lots doesn't mean you are doing well with twitter - though you can't follow more than 2000 without having 2000 followers.
Twitter is definitely a huge tool that can help out, especially if you can get a good amount of followers. Like most things in life, it is all about networking.
Thanks for your input. I also use Twitter as well as YouTube for linking to my website. Even though they posess no-follow links I believe that you are still potentially attracting new users.

I think twitter is too automated and robotized.Everyone uses it for free traffic to websites.I personally do this and I don't like it very much.Facebook is better for communication between people.
