Do links from twitter count in SEOMoz's Toolbar link count?

[davhad]

I am using the Chrome extension and looking at a SERP, when a page is said to have 2000 incoming links, does that include tweets with a link back to this page?

• What about retweets. Are those counted separately or as one?

• And what about independent tweets that have exactly the same content (tweet text + link)

Hi David,

To answer your first question, in a couple of our back link profiles for our projects I don't see any links referring from Twitter.com. I would guess that the tweets are shown within the toolbar under social.

Hope this helps a bit!

This is correct, Social Media metrics and links are not included in that number you are seeing in the SERP overlay.
