Does Twitter help SEO?

Will having a twitter account and getting lots of retweets of your site link count as backlinks and ultimately help your SEO?

Not sure about the backlinks from Twitter, but it helps a lot to drive good traffic to your website through retweets.

I don't think it does. Though getting followers and re-tweets could help 🙂

It will probably count as 1 backlink as all the links will be on one site, ie twitter.com. Therefore, I doubt it will help SEO much. However, it does drive traffic to your site if you have a lot of followers or retweets.

Twitter doesn't provide backlinks, but it is another best option for content marketing and it will also drive some traffic to the website.

Twitter has so many outgoing links that their No-Follow backlinks basically don't register (just like posting on Facebook, LinkedIn, or any other popular social media).

But as mentioned above, Twitter is a great way to drive traffic. More traffic means Google will see your site as more relevant, and thus move you up in the search engines.

Yes it does help and as well as traffic.

Twitter is the most talked about social media website when it comes to the second screen. Any time there is a major awards show or sporting events the blue Twitter bird and hashtag symbol are on the TV screen every 15 seconds. It is remarkable how embedded Twitter now is when it comes to watching TV and looking at a smartphone or tablet. Unfortunately, the lifespan of a tweet is about 30 seconds, if that. With a tweet having 30 seconds of fame one would hope it could help a website in terms of search ranking. That is simply not the case. At this point, most tweets are not indexed by Google and the links do not help with SEO.

As Twitter is a social media site.It really helps to bring traffic on your website.But you will have to tweet quality posts with hash tags on this.

Twitter I think only have you drive traffic to your site. Not much for help you rank

Twitter doesn't provide backlinks, all are no-follow links, so those links not helpfull for direct ranking in search engine, but maybe it's positive effecting in ranking.. I am not sure but social single may helpful for ranking..
