Twitter and Link Juice

[ClickIt]

Sorry if I am late to the party with this, but I thought Twitter stopped giving sites link juice?

I have been running some sites through Open Site Explorer and there main links are coming from Twitter.  I have other sites who are on Twitter and nothing comes up.

Why is that?  Thanks!

Are you sure they are dofollow links? OSE will show all links (dofollow and nofollow) but the links you are seeing are probably marker with a purple nofollow in parenthesis - meaning they are not passing link juice.

Don't worry about the profile link (if thats what you meant) showing up or not in OSE, they have been nofollow links for quite some time now, so it doesn't really matter anyway (although it does look good course in OSE!).

The same happens to use for some clients, for some of them the Twitter links shows up and for others they don't.

The quick answer is that we could either crawl all of Twitter...or we could crawl some of Twitter, and crawl some of the rest of the web. We just don't have the resources to crawl all of Twitter right now, so not everything there gets picked up in OSE.
