I do think social media is important for SEO, but more so with customer retention and word of mouth marketing.

For SEO purposes your Twitter account gains significant PR over time (mine is a PR 5 after 6 months) and your FB company fan page does the same.

SM is very helpful in SEO. It is a crucial part in it. The main focus of social media optimization is to drive traffic from sources other than search engines.However, improved search ranking is also a benefit of successful SMO.

You can generate publicity through social media, online communities and community websites,adding RSS feeds, adding a "Digg This" button, blogging and incorporating third party community functionalities.

Social media sites provides nofollow and indirect links. so from search engine point of view there is no link juice. But you can get lots of visitors. SM is the best place to build your brand/product/service image.

There are some social media websites that are good for SEO also, but the majority of them are only good to promote a product/service/website.
