Anyone have experience using Quuu Promote

[RicardoSalcedo]

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://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/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

Thank you CleverPhD. This is the kind of answer I expected and it's exactly what I needed.

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.
