Anyone have experience using Quuu Promote
-
Hi All,
Do any of you have thoughts on this new content amplification platform? I saw it come through the App Sumo feed. I'm mainly wondering if anyone has any experience regarding link building with this service.
Edited: Aug 25.
After watching the video on how to use the Q&A (https://moz.com/help/guides/qa-overview/asking-question-qa) I thought I would make clear that I don't work for Quuuu. I work for a non-profit magazine publisher. I'm simply curious. Seeing that there have been no responses makes me think that perhaps I should pass on this platform.
Thanks!

Hi!
I don't recommend them at all.
I found Quuu Promote the beginning of this year and I opted-in so they charged my credit card $49 every single month. Then I realized after that if you don't use your credit, they will take it away after 60 days.
So what I did is promote a number of our blog posts but then they were REJECTING them. The sent one email and because they use an automated platform, Gmail puts them in Spam and you don't even realize it.
So in short, they took my credits anyway regardless if they see I tried to redeem it. Also, their platform is very bad, they don't tell you where the credits were used or had been taken away. See the attached screenshot.
I canceled the service but they still had my CC on file so they kept charging it and 10 months later, i saw I had a $400 charge from them. OH GEEZ!
Also, the results were not amazing. One of my posts went through a while back before I opted in on a monthly service.
In my own experience

Several ways to go about this. Here is my take.
Buying links - "For only $50 you can get 10,000 links on sites with a PR of 3 or more". People were setting up junk sites and generating a lot of low quality links. It worked for a while, but then Google figured it out and penalized folks for it. Now the reverse has happened, people are having to pay to get links removed or for someone to help them with a disavow, also people have used negative link techniques to build bad links to competitors to hurt them (this has happened to one of my sites).
Buying followers - Similar on twitter, pay to get followers! People setup fake accounts and then sell them so that people can say they have a big number of followers.
Buying likes and shares - I have no idea who Quuu is. No idea who these people are that they use to promote/share something. For the sake of conversation, let's assume that every single person who shares content for Quuuu is legit and that I can pay to have 30,000 shares - will they buy from me? are they really relevant to my niche? On the Quuu website they list that they have followers categorized by topic, but again, unless you are a large company with a wide appeal 99% of the people that they reach will not be relevant IMHO. Why else do you get a reach of 10k people for $10? You are going to only touch a very small percentage of that 10k who will be interested and buy from you. You can probably curate those people just as easily through your standard social media work etc.
For all the examples above, relevancy is just flushed down the toilet. Sure I have 10,000 links or followers or shares - but if none of those people are interested in buying my product, I have gained nothing but a failed ranking strategy or exposure to people who do not care about my company and my product.

Should UK websites expect any benefit from using Google+?
In several places, Google+ is talked about as something that should be used to help improve the SEO of websites and to engage better with audiences. The problem I am having with this is that these sources are usually from America, and that people I've spoken to in the UK don't even know Google+ exists. So what I'd like to know, does Google+ give any sort of benefit to UK businesses in terms of SEO, even though it seems it's a platform used mostly in the USA?

Why isn't SEOMoz using Wistia's social sharing feautes?
I noticed that SEOMoz does not make use of Wistia's social sharing buttons such as a Facebook Like button. Is there any disadvantage to using the like button via Wistia rather than copy/pasting it in static HTML?

Does promoting a new page on twitter/facebook help it get indexed faster?
I know this probably won't matter much to people who get crawled on a regular basis, but for those of us who don't, does promoting a new page on social media help it get indexed faster with google? My site rarely gets crawled, but I've recently been adding new content. When I add new content I started to promote it on facebook/twitter and I do get minimal traffic from it. I noticed that a couple of the pages seem to be indexing quicker than pages normally do for me, although I'm not sure if it's because I recently migrated to WP or what..? I know T/FB are no follow sites, but is there a chance that promoting a page may contribute to the pages getting indexed? Thanks for any insight you can shed on the matter. It's more for curiosities sake than anything else. Pete S.

Using ReTweets for Outreach
Does anyone know of a tool that export a list of people that Retweeted a piece of content with the url they list on their profile? I'm trying to mine the individuals that RT'd an outreach piece we did to try to gain more opportunities but can't find a tool that will mine the data from peoples twitter profiles. I know of Retweet follow (their export is no where to be found) and Topsy but wanted to avoid doing a bunch of manual thanks tweet@'s. I also have a list of all the twitter handles/urls that I'm looking to find what their site is to do more personalized outreach for.
