    I wonder that can i use my twitter account to to build backlink to increase my site pr? I just check out my twitter account and found that it has pr 5 and of course, i could put one backlink point to my own site.
    So, could that pr 5 backlink will increase my site rank or not?

    twitter is useful only for generating traffic with your latest updates. You cannot improve your PR with twitter & it will not give backlinks, as it is no follow

    Twitter will give you nofollow link which can't help in PR

    With the help of Twitter you can just promote your web source to other members of Twitter, just make it popular. But you can't build links to your website with the help of Twitter, i think. However, i don't know how it could be done if it is so.

    That's true, it can't help improve pagerank since twitter implements nofollow on all outbound links But it can build a better personal relationship (PR) with other bloggers and webmasters.

    Unfortunately not. Twitter gets bombarded by worthless sp*m enough already so making its links no follow makes perfect sense.

    You can use it to promote your site through tweets though, and it can still help get you indexed quickly, even though it is nofollow.

    twitter profile link is no follow. so yo can't improve your PR or ranking through twitter. But you can attract targetted traffic from twitter.

    twitter is a micro blogging site so you can use it for traffic.

    Site rank does not equal PR. So make sure you know what you are asking first. Twitter's home page might be PR5 but there inner pages are probably 0. One link will usually do nothing. You usually need thousands of high PR links to increase your site's PR.

    twitter home's PR is 9 and my profile account is 5. That's why i ask if i could increase. No matter what happen, it is still nofollow. Zero chance to rank with it :(

    No way all links from Twitter are nofollow, no benefit from pr or backlinks prospective, but can be used for branding and driving traffic to your website

    there's also lots of sites that scrape & republish tweets - a site like that will often republish nofollow'd links as normal. also, twitter is good for the "social graph" rank metric which is likely to become more and more important.

    Twitter is a tool for "micro-blogging" or posting very short updates, comments or thoughts....So it is useful only for generating traffic But cannot improve your website's PR....
