Google said before if your site is linked with the significant and relevant sites, it is a fabulous method of increasing your traffic and even your ranking will eventually increase in the search engines. The question is what about new social bookmark platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Well here is a video with Matt Cutts, a well-known Googler, revealing his opinions about this topic. At present, Google takes into consideration the links regardless of the source of the links. Google studies the reputation of the website where the links were received and not anymore the policy of the number of sites that are linked to your site.

But in the case of linking with Facebook, Google will have a hard time to check the Facebook links as most of the Facebook profiles are private.
