Facebook pages are "no-follow" meaning no juice is passed directly to the site. However, the different signals and navigation of the viewers has an indirect organic affect. If your traffic is increased with a "no-follow" then it is affecting your "organic results" indirectly. However, the page rank "juice" isn't transferred via page rank, but rather by sending traffic.

While the links are nofollow, Google and Bing have both confirmed that links shared through twitter and facebook do have a direct impact on rankings. this was posted randfish of seomoz back in 2010 and i dont believe this has changed http://www.seomoz.org/blog/google-bing-confirm-twitter-facebook-influence-seo. heres another more recent post by the same author on the subject http://www.seomoz.org/blog/facebook-twitters-influence-google-search-rankings

I think you need to look beyond Page Rank. Make sure you set you FB page to show info rather than timeline/news feed by default for non-fans.
Look to other stats such as visitors from your FB page and then use your FB wall well to influence your SEO in a natural way

doesn't pass PR, but Google picks up on the social signals and takes that into some consideration with their rankings so if you own a site you should at least set up a FB page for that site.
not sure what you mean with the second question and how it relates to FB

Facebook links are nofollow. However, it's a great way to promote content and get other people to link to you. Basically Facebook doesn't give you link juice, but it helps you get it from other people.

Facebook URLs, Anchor Text
I have a client that is considering a facebook url change. For ease of explanation, let's say their currently existing URL is facebook.com/Company123. I've googled their currently existing facebook url and found a dozen or so websites that include the text, "facebook.com/Company123". But, these results don't include websites that have an anchor text of, for example, "Facebook" and a link pointing to facebook.com/Company123. Has anybody had success tracking down any/all websites that point to a specific Facebook url? I've tried Open Site Explorer, OpenLinkprofiler, RankSignals, and SEO SpyGlass to no avail. Thank you!

How many times have you reauthorized your facebook account for Moz analytics?
I have hardly any facebook data, because Moz constantly needs me to reauthorize it. It's extremely annoying, but I wanted to make sure this is a Moz error and not a user error. Is it just me or do other people have to keep doing this as well? Thanks, Ruben

Open Site Explorer: Facebook Shares, Likes, etc.
I don't fully understand what this means in the report for our site: http://screencast.com/t/aG5jbkYWLA here is our site: www.discountqueens.com & we have thousands of fans & facebook likes and all the time on all our posts. For example yesterday we had 73 likes on this post alone: http://www.discountqueens.com/amazon-ultimate-shrinky-dinks-jewelry-designer-1495/ So here's my questions: Is there an error in the reporting? Are we using a social sharing method that isn't giving us valid credit for these links? What should I consider doing differently & why isn't our likes, shares, tweets & Google+ being calculated into our score?

Does PR & DA not apply to Google?
My PR & DA are much higher than my competitors, but I noticed that they outrank me in some searches. What's up with that?

Two PR 5 websites, but little to no link data in OSE. How??
As the title states - We've recently developed two sites for clients - within the last 4 months or so. With the Google PR update, both sites are sitting as PR 5 sites. I've tried to have a look in the OSE for the backlink profile of both websites, but I see nothing. Even Majestic SEO's fresh index doesn't provide much info. The DA of each site is 11-16. I would really love to see what's generating the link juice to these sites. Any ideas? The two sites are: https://bfore.co.za

Does Google have a direct link with facebook and twitter?
Google monitor social media. What I'm wondering is do Google use the same tools we have on Facebook's API, Twitter's API etc to use in their SERPs Or do Facebook grant Google more detailed access to see who has liked links etc. I think it's quite an interesting point as surely I can push up my own count by repeatedly sharing my own links, which wouldn't be genuine. If Google had better access they could then determine what's been faked etc.

How to tell where a competitor's Facebook Shares are coming from?
Is there a way to tell where a competitor's facebook shares and likes are coming from? How to also tell what ads they have running in Facebook and their spend? I am looking at OSE's data and its telling me a competitor has 8.5K Facebook shares and 1K facebook likes. I go to their facebook page and it has about 25 likes. This site should not have anywhere close to the facebook shares/likes its receiving so wondering where they are getting their boosted traffic from.
