Twitter and Facebook helps growing backlinks and you can also get traffic there. So they help SEO.SEO is one of the most effective way to get your web site optimized in such a way that the search engines will reward you by basically sending traffic your way. SEO is not really that simple, but the bottom line is, if your page is optimized both on page and off, you generally get higher natural search engine rankings, which leads to traffic for you.

Yeah social media like Twitter or Facebook helps to boost SEO. It is because here people have not to try to search anything. Already direct product or news reach to the target audience. In SN sites there is already a lot of networks among the people.

Indeed, the backlinks to social media sites do help with SEO. Plus, you're marketing your website which is a plus in itself in such that you can reach out to more people through such sites and this brings more unique traffic and eventually higher ranking.

Yes friend, Twitter and Facebook are the 2 great way to get maximum traffic for your website nowadays. Sometimes, profiles are searched and we can get ranking in search engines too. In some cases we have strong back-link too for the website/blog. So, try to maximize activities in these 2 social media websites.

Hi Poonam,

Yes, they help. They both give you authority. Though like some people here have stated, they give you backlinks, they are not classified the same way by the search engines. When your website is mentioned on a social network, they consider it a "mention". The more mentions you have, the more buzz they assume you are generating. This lends you more credibilty and gives you better rankings. So, in short, try to get OTHERS to mentioned your website on the search engine.
