    Hello members,
    Can you give some good idea on Using Twitter for generating more back links to my site.
    My site has 300+ visits only and I would like to increase this using social networking.

    Also please suggest what kind of users/services I will have to follow on twitter for best results?

    :cool:

    Twitter gets you backlinks from other domains importing your feed, get as many people to follow you as possible and post away.

    If you want to use Twitter for backlinking don't use a service like biy.ly to shorten the link for your tweets. You will have to include the full URL.

    Of course you can get a backlink from twitter... have a look into your profile ;-) but that´s the only one... you won´t get a backlink from tweeting your URL.
    Twitter is nofollow, but as most people don´t know: nofollow is not useless at all (consider bing and yahoo!).

    Very good advice from sasanchez - if your feed is picked up by other sites you can pick up a fair amount of links but it wil only benefit you if you use your full url and avoid the shorteners.

    So many websites other than twitter actually show all your updates that are done twitter in their websites creating a profile with your twitter id. Those will be dofollow ones. That is how you get back links.

    Twitter does gives you backlink from the profile page and also some of the peoples profile page have High PR if anyone have noticed it. So, you get a High PR backlink from Twitter's profile page.

    I am not sure but I never heard twitter provide backlinks to your site, yes only link option you get is in your profile page may be that can count as a backlink, and yes, do not use shorten URL's, such type will do no good to your site..... Thou, twitter can be a good source for traffic...

    Twitter itself is nofollow, but some sites aggregate tweets and they aren't always nofollow.

    Unless you're tweeting fairly frequently I think the effect would be minimal, though.

    Tweet often, but not too frequently. Once per hour should be good. Make sure your tweets are optimized as well for hashtags and/or keywords. This will allow people searching for those topics on SE's to find your tweets, or even people that search Twitter itself. As far as backlinks, they might not count as much today but as SE algorithms change the social media links will become more relevant.
