Does twitter really help with Backlinks?

I have seen in a few blogs that twitter is another source of backlinks, on the contrary, when people discuss backlinks, twitter rarely comes up as a viable option, Please somebody help me understand this better.

If it is, dofollow or nofollow??

Thank you

 

Yes, twitter is a good social media website that helps in promotion of your website.

 

Link from twitter doesn't count in backlink as matt cutts mentioned over here https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/news/2325343/matt-cutts-facebook-twitter-social-signals-not-part-of-google-search-ranking-algorithms However twitter can be very valubale in order to bring traffic to you webs

 

Back-links always play a positive role in getting traffic to the website. Whether it is Twitter or Facebook each social media site gets benefit by the back-links. The main thing you need to keep in mind is that the your back-link must be related to your business, product and service for which you are promoting in the social media.

 

Yup it helps a bit, especially with a couple of science articles that I create or some videos as well.

 

Twitter links do count as backlinks but in SERP they add no value to the ranking. Just get Twitter traffic with them.

 

The links are re non follow but it helps in the long run in combination with other factors

 

It doesn't directly help on backlink but can get a lot of traffic that helps to get positive result on your site.

 

I use twitter to get to good relevant content through the links people post. It may not help them in link juice but it brings them my traffic

 

Do you think a site of that magnitude would help anyone with backlinks?
