    gyuz,
    submitting a link on my facebook account in my status will help getting a backlink or not?
    As all of you know facebook PR is 9 and getting a backlink from it will be helpful. so posting a link in my personal account will help or nor?
    even if nobody clicks it will it get some backlinks?

    It will get you traffic but doubt it does anything for SERP's.

    Well, it will not help much with SERP's, but having nofollow links to your website makes your website look natural and it does count in a very small way.
    I think facebook is a very strong marketing tool if you use it the right way.

    Face book is good for marketing.if you develop relation ship with people then you would get daily traffic but face book back link is not much helpful for seo point.Create fan pages at face book and join different groups.

    If you are trying to create backlinks to your website, Facebook cannot help you. If you wisely use you generate some traffic from Facebook but not for backlinks .

    It means creating fan pages will not help either for SERPs

    The PR of Facebook is 10 and it can be used only for traffic purpose. You can't get backlinks from the profile page or the fan page.

    Facebook helps to increase the traffic in your website but not for backlinks. Even it is applicable for all the social networking sites.

    FB is a marketing tool which lets you market your products for your users who need it. You can get some traffic, but a back link from facebook will really help you.

    Today more focus is done on Social sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and many more. So, besides SEO part on your website, Social marketing is good to do. Facebook is great marketing tool that will definitely help you grab traffic and popularize your website. You can create Pages inside Facebook account that will grab traffic as people can like that pages. Also making friends nad fans via facebook according to your website interest will also make a good traffic source. Updating your new updates, links regularly will let your fans friends know more about your website and automatically rab traffic. If talking about backlinks, it depends upon your friends and links but you can't get back links directly.So Facebook is very good marketing tool for traffic source.

    Facebook is a good social networking website. It's my personal experience to generate traffic from facebook. Like facebook, twitter also help to drag potential traffic to website. Facebook is used to gain popularity not getting backlink. So Facebook is popular marketing tool having PR 10.

    Facebook is a Social networking site and it has Nofollow tag. you cant get quality backlink from it but you can get really good traffic as this site has millions of users everyday.

    Facebook gives traffic to your website, but it will not give a backlink.

    Also, I have one question that suppose I started facebook compaign for my pharmaceutical site then can I get traffic or not.

    Facebook links don't give off value because they are nofollow. There's no point in getting them. It's not going to help your rankings. However, you could use it to get traffic from real people. Twitter links don't help either, but there are many marketers using it to get sales.

    Face book can be used for online marketing. As face book has lots of users, you can get huge traffic from it but due to its 'no follow' tag, you cant get back links for your website.
