I have found that brand new websites don't get the same reach as established sites on Pinterest. My new blog's pins are only getting anywhere between 50 - 100 people reached every time... compare that to 1000 - 4000 people reached when I pin from my established site. These are my results when pinning to one of my larger group boards so nothing else has changed. My theory is that Pinterest assigns a quality score for each site which ultimately affects your reach. What are your thoughts?

I don't have any data to support that but it's a good theory. if its happening to you and you can show it on a number of different tests you do then I imagine they could be doing something like that.

I was active their back in 2014-2015
I have a question - Do group boards still have huge traffic?
I was making 1500-1800 Euros monthly from PInterest Group Boards + Adsense. I was pinning everyday, literally everyday and was dominating Fitness niche in like 10-12 group boards (each one had 10K followers). So it was great back in days, but after 20 months of working Adsense blocked my account without any reasons and somehow I gave up.
I still want to get back but saw that on my account (which I have since 2014) that only 4 group boards in fitness niche have been left, maybe other boards have been deleted), so do you think that it's good to buy group boards somewhere? do you know someone who sells invitations in big group boards for a not a huge price?

Some have decent amounts of traffic. Some boards generate more clicks that others and some generate way more impressions. Its all relative but I always play the numbers game so I get a good average overall. Don't take this the wrong way as it's not directed at you but I have to laugh when people say "without any reason" there is ALWAYS a reason, it's just a case of finding out what it is. I would consider trying to find out if you really don't know as there is no point is starting something that could fail the same way.

There are TONS of people here on BHW that will exchange board invites with people. I have seen a bunch of threads with it in. I personally do not do that though as I dont know what these people are doing on these boards and with this being a blackhat site you can bet some are doing things they should not or at the very least taking things way too far with mass postings. So because of that they might get removed from the boards and when that happens you being someone they invited may also get removed depending on which box the admin of the board has ticked when removing them. Also I dont want to be tied to any accounts that might get mine band. I'm squeaky clean on Pinterest, well aside from the fact I break their TOS selling pins and invites lol. I know I have said its way people can do it but it has its drawbacks.

Personally I would try and find some good boards and start it up again once you know where you were going wrrong last time as it sounds lucrative. Good luck with it.

thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

My pleasure, I hope you are able to profit from the info.

Hello,

I applied your advice here. I got added to niche relevant boards that can reach up to 75000 people.

Profile daily impressions from zero to 9k. Profile Average daily viewers is 6k
People I reach 32k monthly viewers and 1.7k monthly engaged,
Activity from my website. Average daily impression is 5.7k with 4.2k average daily viewers.

I am hoping to increase these numbers. I have also seen increase traffic to my website.

Just to share. by the way, I am using a service that auto pins and auto follow and unfollow.

Yes that's one of the biggest niches on Pinterest and of course the demographic of the site is practically all women so the answer is yes. If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask. How can i start growing it is too broad of a question.

Now that they have hidden the repin amounts on pins that info is pretty hard to find. You can still get this info though if you use tailwind. you can see a repin count of your pins on there and possibly other pins from what i have been reading. There are a few sites though like http://repinned.net/ where you can go to do a search for viral content. Good idea by the way, I hope it works for you.

What is your experience with bounce rate in GA when you drive traffic using Pinterest?

 

[raven666]

Then use a different one!

[William702]

What is your experience with bounce rate in GA when you drive traffic using Pinterest?

It's just normal traffic. in fact tits a bit better than usual as these people have followed something they are interested in to get to you so the conversions are all a little higher in my experience.

Hello,

For example I have 10 blog posts and I want to pin them on pin them in one of my boards. Can I Repin them in my other boards? Or that would be considered spam. After I pin them to my board, if I Repin to some group boards will it be considered OK?

How often can you Repin your pins in other boards?
What are the basic rules of repining your pins?

Thank you

 

[legion85]

Does anyone know, how to disable the pesky notifications? Those one: See what X and 100 others found in Y. Or X and 99 others followed Y and 381 more. I hate those, I just want to know how many repins I got.

You can repin them to any of your boards. If you post the same thing over and over it will be the same thing in your pins section that people see so they will think you are spamming. As long as you vary the pins you use you will be fine and it will look like a normal varied feed.

Each group boards may have their own rules so my advice would be look at the description and see if they have any specific rules about pinning but in general keep I try to pin under 100 pins a day per account and to random boards. Basically not the same pin to the same board over and over even if the pins move fast down the boards because there is a load of activity because people will still see the same pin over and over again in your pin feed.

There is a section for it in the settings. best to check out the Pinterest FAQ section for that stuff.

Do you have any quick tips on how to schedule your Tailwind pins? How do you find 100 different pins to schedule each day? I do only a fraction of that and it still takes me a while to set up my schedule.

 

[IanV]

Just to share. My site received 3k unique visitors from Pinterest In the last seven days. 30 percent is US traffic. Hopefully this traffic converts. Haha, I have seen several clicks Native ads.

Here is a good video i watched on Youtube about using it. Its not my video and I don't know this person. The video gave me a better understanding and gave me some ideas for twists so its worth the ten minutes to watch it.

To set up thousands of tweets in minutes I use the extension to load up some images. I add the description, price tags and press save for later. I gather up ten different pins and get them all ready. I then go to the app and select the boards I want them to go out to in one click. I have a group of boards that I set up so that when I select it, it then adds those group boards as boards I want the pins to go out to on each pin. So for example I have a batch of group boards I have selected for ecomm products. 68 of them. i select the 10 listings i added and press the button to add all 68 boards to them. So now i have 10 pins all going out to 68 boards each which = 680 pins. that takes me literally 5 minutes to do so if i want to set up a few thousand it might take 20 minutes to set up 2500. However if i had 500 group boards in my list i could have done 5000 pins in 5 minutes.

That's great news. I hope it converts for you

hello i am new to this, what is best way to get followers for a women clothing store?

 

[Trym]

Hi, i recently started a blog and i joined and created few Pinterest groups. I'm wondering if i upload 10-30 pics per day (Uploaded from my PC) with link to my blog in the description of the pin where i can edit the URL, can i get in trouble doing this for all the pins or i should split? The pictures wont be on my site but i will edit the description as source. I'm asking this cuz i don't want my acc getting banned. Also if you can answer this: is it OK to put < mysiteurl.com > on the actual photo like those quotes pics with urls in the bottom. And if anyone can gimme tip about how this can reflect to G00gle ranks and will i get penalized for to much links or something.......Any info is appreciated, thanks!

 

[cruew]

Thank you for all the information you have provided!
I just have a couple of questions regarding pins and pinning
1. Which is more beneficial? To repost a viral pin as your own onto group boards or repin it onto group boards?
2. When creating a board of your own, do you mix the content? 50% of your own and 50% repins?
3. How much should I expect to pay for a sponsored pin? For someone who has 50-100k followers?

Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you soon
