I can’t stand Klout. Anyone who discusses social media with me usually has to sit through one (or more) of my diatribes about how ridiculous Klout is, why it doesn’t measure social media influence, and why relying on the score is one of the most annoying noob habits of social media. Okay…I’ll confess.

Klout is a site that measures your influence on the web, using social media sites. Essentially, the more influential you are on social media websites, the higher your Klout score is. The score goes from 1 to 100, and I would say that it’s pretty easy to get a Klout score of 30 or higher. Let me explain.

The August 21 #MeasurePR chat was a fun and lively discussion about a few topics of interest to measurement geeks—including the notorious topic we love to pick apart: Klout. Here are some highlights: Klout has recently made changes to its algorithm, many of which appear to be in response to (heavy) criticism of the “influence” tool.

Klout, the site that gave us our social media Klout scores, is shutting down on May 25, 2018. At the height of Klout’s reign in social media, social media influencers, with a high enough Klout score, could get rewarded by advertisers. Klout Perks was shut down in 2015.

The recent addition of LinkedIn to the mix of social media considered when calculating a Klout score has left many wondering about Klout, how to raise your score, and whether it matters after all. Have you heard of Klout ? What is Klout? Klout’s algorithm strives to measure a user’s online influence.

A few weeks ago I noticed that Klout had added the WordPress button to the available channels to connect to which was encouraging. Quite frankly I think those that write successful blogs carry more influence then just about anyone in the social media sphere, so a welcome addition. How 1 Blog Post Increased My Klout Score.

So I went on a blog hiatus for a few weeks, and it certainly made a significant impact on my Klout score. On one hand I get that one’s “influence” can fluctuate based on the contributions they make to the digital world, but the real question is, should it that much over a short period?

Klout is the social media measurement tool that measures influence – how many followers, how much interaction and the style of interaction that a person has in their personal or business social network. E.g. Klout updates an influencers score but you see it on Salesforce or in a Reuters newspaper article.

Klout bills itself as a social media influence metric, but until now it was largely limited in how it measured influence. Recently – like, within the last month – they’ve expanded how to measure influence to include Wikipedia entries, LinkedIn titles, and +K. I actually rather like this idea. Stay tuned.

So, given the growing importance of social media, it makes sense that companies are now measuring the relative importance, or influence, of the people using the networks. Klout and PeerIndex, the two major players in measuring social influence, have only been around for a few years but have already made a mark on digital engagement.
