Twitter and Facebook Back-link Aquisition procedure?

[Boodreaux]

This is another novice question that I hope is easy to answer for someone out there.

How do you get a backlink from twitter or facebook?

Either Open Site Explorer is not recognizing my accounts or twitter and facebook are not reporting it for some reason.   I have looked at other competitors and they have twitter and facebook that show up as linking to them.  Do you have to do something special to get a link?

You can get backl-inks from profile and kind of stuff. But the real value is traffic not the backlinks, How many users share or tweet your post or tweet.

I don't have any links yet so a link from twitter or facebook would be great I thought. For some reason though neither one are showing up as a link on Open Site explorer.

I do have some folks that are sharing a bunch of my tweets. I have to add landing pages to my tweets to track it better.  Right now I am using a third party landing page and getting okay results even though they have a lot of there stuff on the page.

Links friom facebook and twitter are no-follow, they have no SEO value. they provide a bit of traffic, but i doubt it.
