A question about links with twitter and stumbleupon.com

This maybe a stupid question, but every time you book mark a page with stumble upon ( like a blog post) is this considered a backlink?

Also, everytime you do a tweet with a link back to your page, is this also a backlink?

If it's coming from a site like twitter or stumble upon is it a backlink from a site which is more then PR0?

Thanks

    Nope all these sites use nofollow so no use of these links. Most of the social media sites have become nofollow now.

        They are backlinks and do not go unnoticed, imho.
        A site that would follow Google's terms does not try to manipulate their placements in this manner... so certainly a G ranking algorithm would take into consideration the amount of dofollow bl's to the amount of nofollows, looking for abnormalities. And as mentioned, there is the potential for traffic from the link itself.

      I think it is as important as any other backlinks,sometimes links from a social media site bring a huge traffic.

    They may be nofollow but a backlink is a backlink. Sometimes these backlinks can bring you traffic and that's the goal isn't it?

    Whether a link is dofollow or no follow, it hardly matters to me... What more important is, the traffic is pulling it to your site.

    Social bookmarking websites is a great channel for driving traffic to the website. Also, social bookmarking websites helps in improving social media reputation.

    You should have do follow and no follow links to your site to create a "natural" and diverse link profile.

    Twitter is no follow and in stumble only putting link is not enough , make your own community there and share your link. once your followers like and share that you won't only get strong back link but also a very good amount of traffic as well.
    Thanks.

    Maybe these nofollow backlinks are not too important to pure rank porpuoses, but them help to index pages and coluld bring traffic. In addition, G is starting to consider social mentions as a relevance sign.

    So I think its important to have backlinks from social networks

    If you do it right Stumbleupon can bring in a lot of traffic. Twitter takes a lot more community building to get anything from. Other than that there is no measurement of how well the backlink from these sites helps you rank however if you are posting blog posts you can automate the posting to Twitter so why stop?
