Google PR of Twitter 'Profiles' - Is it helpful?

    Hey guys,

    I don't know whether this is a stupid/outdated/useless question. But I found this today only. I have seen many times before also that twitter profile page is showing some green on the PR toolbar but I thought its just like that we can see here on our usercp ( PR 2).

    But today I have checked the PR with many many profiles and saw that they are all different.

    For example these profiles are having (excuse me I dont know them)


    PR 5 - http://twitter.com/happyboy4u (It's my profile)
    PR 7 - http://twitter.com/britneyspears
    No PR - http://twitter.com/Web_DesignMark
    PR 0 - http://twitter.com/RomeoMillz


    Do you think that this can benefit for the links we tweet or the links we placed as homepage any way?

    Twitter uses Nofollow so it doesn't really matter. Only time this would matter would be when another site that is "Dofollow" mirrors your Twitter page.

    Links from Twitter pages cannot help your website to rank well.

    I doubt that. Because different search engines treat 'nofollow feature' differently

    There are sites that copy and paste "tweets" from Twitter onto their site.

    Yes you are right. But most of our works are for major SEs like google,yahoo and Bing. Traffic from other search engines are very low or even negligible. That is why I said like that.

    They may take that into consideration when deciding which pages to copy and paste.

    Social Media websites are very good when it comes to traffic IF they are used well. Also being high ranked websites they are used in linkbuilding strategies to index one's page faster than it would be indexed naturally.

    It can help you only for traffic but not PR because links from twitter are nofollow...

    Yeah. But as a friend had stated above in some cases, popular twitter users get extra mileage via other websites. That may really help the sites grow.

    Right, I only use twitter for traffic purposes. And, of course, it does general backlinks for your domain or homepage. IMO. This would also help your sites in SERP, especially you have your targeted keywords within your domains. :)

    Have a nice day,

    Twitter PR at profile is useless for backlink. It use nofollow rule

    I'm still heart-broken that Facebook changed FBML links to nofollow.
