Quuu Promote

I see others have been fooled by Quuu and I was too, at first. The Quuu Dashboard says you have so many "Shares" and so many "Clicks" but this is misleading. Those "Shares" are only Quuu internal postings to Quuu members and the "Clicks" are when Quuu members look at the internal postings. None of those measure shares of or clicks to your promoted content.

For example: I promoted four articles on my Web site on Quuu. Quuu's Dashboard says I got 248 "Shares" and 61 "Clicks." But this is only to internal Quuu members. The whole point of promotion is getting people to view your content. The actual real-world shares of my promoted content amounted to 14 Tweets of my articles and only 6 visits to them. I know this because one thing that Quuu does do correctly is tag Tweets and visits with "quuu" as a referrer. So I can see that 4 Quuu members actually visited my articles from the Quuu internal listing and 2 visitors followed links posted on Twitter by Quuu members. So Quuu netted me a total of 6 visits to 4 articles. Google Search alone (which is free) netted me 23 visits to those same 4 articles in that same period. The Quuu ROI is pretty awful.

Oh, and worth mentioning is that of the 14 Twitter accounts that Tweeted the Quuu content linked to my site, 12 of them had fewer than 200 Followers and 6 of them had under 50 Followers. All but three of those accounts Tweet nothing but Quuu content.

So when you see these reviews saying how many "Shares" and "Clicks" they got from Quuu, understand they have been mislead. If you feel getting a few posts from some spammers with almost no Followers is worth paying for, go for it. But my opinion is your promotional budget is better spent elsewhere.
