What is Klout? Klout, also known as “Klout Score,” measures your influence based on your ability to drive action using data from social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Every time you create content posted to social networks to influence others you can increase your score. It measures true reach, amplification, and network impact.

How do I increase my Klout Score? Your score is not determined by the number of followers necessarily. It is based more on the reaction you get from your followers. If you were to start tweeting more just to increase your Klout Score, it won’t just go up. If you start receiving a higher response to your tweets, it can go up. Or, if your fans start interacting more on your facebook page or ‘liking’ your posts more, it can go up.
