If done right it certainly helps traffic

Having a FB, Twitter, Blog or Youtube account can boost your website in Off Page SEO when you link back to your site from those properties. The same goes for any property really. Just built some properties with some content and a link back to your site and it will most definitely provide some backlink juice or power.

Yes, it is a best way to promote your site or product and also increase your sites traffic.

Yes, these all things are group together and can help a website to get good rank for its keyword over search engine to deploy its services.

facebook, twitter, youtube are all nofollow. Although tweets can
appear in google searches, all three of those have little to do with
SEO. But what they can do is get you target visitors, regardless of
search engines. And that's what everyone should be concentrating
on anyway. Blogging can help with both. In fact, blogging with
twitter is a powerful combination for website traffic.

Yes!
In fact it's almost a necessity these days with regards to SEO.
Social metrics are incorporated into the Google algorithm, so creating a Facebook fan page, getting your site "liked" and "shared" across Facebook, using twitter, and last but not least, blogging will help with SERP rank. In most cases these links will be nofollow, but your site will gain traffic from them. And if your content is unique and well written, other sites will link to it.
Its a win win situation.

Actually, Facebook 'reviews' have started to pop up under Google Places pages as a review site, so don't be so quick to discount the nofollow links, because other Facebook content IS being shared through Google.

I would imagine in the not so distant future that twitter stuff will start to appear for Google Places in some form under "discussions about this place" or something similar.

I realize this applies to local, but having a strong local profile can also increase organic ranking, so it's something to think about going forward.

Hi,
Yes,they Create social impact as well as helps in Google ranking because Google officially announced that. It is true that having a Facebook Fan page, tweeting and blogging all help with SEO.

They help in generating traffic because they are social networking sites, you can generate traffic from them as long as you use them right.

[Promet Analyst]

Aside from the traffic you get on your site with Facebook fanpage, tweeting and blogging, though facebook is nofollow, facebook accounts and profiles appear on the first result page of Google so it's pretty much helpful.

Twitter may help SERP by using a url shortener and customizing the url to include your keyword. If the link is picked up or re-tweeted on another site, you will earn a backlink.

You can try bityly to customize you url's.

You people are mixing apples and oranges.

Getting traffic via other means is not SEO. It's getting
traffic via other means. I buy a billboard with my website
on it. That's not SEO.

Helping your domain in SERPs is what SEO is all about.
Getting exposure is getting exposure. It does nothing
by itself to help with SERPs.

What you are talking about is funneling traffic, not SEO.
You know, "search engine" optimization...
