To shock all of you YES facebook links count as a backlink.... If you have not checked your webmaster tools lately you will notice that comment links on facebook post now show up in your back-links profile. However this may not be the best quality links they are similar to forum comment posting a very low level/quality of link building.

If they are showing up in your webmaster tools then they are do follow links and are considered back-links.

I would love to hear what everyone think of this logic?
