Just a quick question. If you have people consistantly link to your website from their tweets does that help your SEO efforts?

[MarcinSarasota]

It's great for traffic but I am not sure it helps you rank any better. Unless there is something in the algorithm that monitors websites that get direct traffic and gives it a little weight. Good question - obviously I don't know the answer.

All tweets are nofollow links so the SEO benefit is minimal, but I agree with Marc in the fact that if you've got a good following on Twitter, it could generate good referral traffic.

[Scott.Hack]

Some of the plugins that allow you to post your tweets onto pages in Wordpress might be followed and indexed.

There are also a lot of Twitter/tweet based sites that rehash the tweets. Sometimes they'll be dofollow and or pick up your link in your profile. An example is a site like. Tweetmeme.com

I have never gotten the idea of Twitter. I would like to know more about the linking strategies associated with it, cause I see my competitor spam links to his websites with it.

Lisa - don't worry about your competitor. You already know what he's doing - spamming ;-) Don't go over to the dark side ;-)

Lisa if your competitor is spamming on twitter it is obvious they don't know how to effectively use twitter, I wouldn't worry about it too much and as Joel says don't follow this bad example.

Twitter is a good source to look for people who are on the same niche. Tweets really help in driving traffic more people who follow your tweets more your website gets visibility.

I don't like tweeter and this kind of websites. It doesn't help for SEO anyway.
