I have posted many links to my sites in my twitter status.
And as i can see i can also see those status indexed in Google.
But i don't see any back links from twitter in my Google web masters account!
Why is it? twitter links are in nofollow.. Yes, all of the Twitter links are no-follow. Forget them as they are not going to get you help in backlinking. Still Tweets are very helpful. Please let me know how did you see that google indexed your twitter links?

Because Google doesn't count the nofollow link as your backlinks but the benefits you can have is the generate more traffic for your website. Sorry to say but Twiiter links are no-follow and they are not considered as backlinks. But i have heard somewhere about joining some community or something and Twitter links will become we-follow. Don't know exactly about it. Quote: Originally Posted by topseo123

we-follow!
Whats that! Just looked,
Out of 7 sites I monitor via Webmaster Tools that are on Twitter, 5 are showing links from their Twitter profile page (or a list page they created) in the links section.
All of them have pretty good PR too.
Only one site has done self promotion tweets. Those aren't showing up in the links section but that might because of the url shortening that Twitter and Twitter clients use. Quote: Twitter links counted as backlinks? evidently ya! They are nofollow so do not count as backlinks officially, but Google sees them and actually does follow them. So it helps pages get found and indexed. Twitter is NO FOLLOW so there is no point in trying to get backlinks off it, the only good thing about it is that it gives you a great way to make customers and generate some natural traffic. twitter is a micro blogging site so don't go there for Link Back . Twitter is a no follow, You cannot do back-linking from twitter. No, they are not counted. Twitter is no follow. You can't get any backlinks from them. It will just help you marketing and getting traffic to your site. Backlinking are not. Twitter is nofollow but still some juice us passed to google. Twitter is about exposure, it won't help like link-building directly but webmasters may link your post they found on twitter and then link to it, which provides links indirectly... Right click the link on Twitter and you will find it No-Follow. So, obviously Twitter doesn't give backlinks.
