(METHOD) Ranking Pins on Pinterest

[William702]

If I have my own brand account, how would you pin 36 products? Same description per product on each pin and pin those items to the same board or different boards?

well for starters if I had 36 different products I would not use the same description for all of them. I would write one for each using relevant hashtags for that particular product. It all depends on the product I guess. with this method in particular I was pinning things in large numbers to different group boards.

William, does it still works?

Yes and no.

I have clients that are over the moon with the traffic and results and then others say they didn't really notice any traffic or anything. the clients I have that get great results every time have etsy shops. I dont know what it is but Pinterest must give Etsy listing more juice. So if you are promoting etsy listings yes its working just fine but if you have a stand alone website not so much.

Awesome, and how many times can I pin that product with that same description?

Have you been able to add rich pins on woocommerce products, as far as I have seen to add them it has to be done manually on each product adding code on the head of that product

Great, I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Hey William.

Sorry if the question sounds stupid. Will my pinterest boards automatically grow if I just keep pinning relevant content into each one? Then its just a patience game I am assuming?

 

[YujinTan]

so basically is use hash tag ?

Hi @William702
1. You say that you lift the pins straight from the Etsy shop listings. So are your pins always horizontal? Not vertical like Pinterest advises? This has no impact at all on pin performance?
2. Also, many group boards don't want Etsy items. Does that make it harder to find boards?
3. Do you also post on Etsy items-only group boards? Can they work well?
Thanks

I have literally pinned the same pin with the exact same description thousands of times.

I have not promoted anything from Woocommerce I'm afraid.

Yeah pretty much. if you are consistent with posting, consistent with posting good content tagged well your account will grow.

1) Pins being pinned from Etsy make up the majority of everything pinned to Pinterest in any given day, so I think they must have some algorithm that takes those factors into account. I have not personally witnessed any issue with it.
2) True, but many group boards will not allow anything but etsy listings and with it being such a large part of Pinterest there are tons of boards out there for it so I'm sure it averages out.
3) Yes I post a lot of boards like that.

Well it depends what you are trying to achieve. I was just trying to go the easy route and put them in pins that I pinned in large volumes and it seemed to work and they showed up at the top. But things change and sites make updates so not sure how effective it is now. I think it's a combination of the things that the person you are referring to is doing that is making the difference. not having them in there wont make any sort of a difference so in my mind it's always better to put them in, but dont cram it full of them, just add 2 or 3

Actually I just check again my pin interest got lots of impression can say quite easy to get as long you pin a lot . BUT clicks only a few . I doubt is my content , my content is suit for the girls , as we all Female rate is higher in Pinterest. One thing I not sure , pin in board or sub ? that time I just create a board than another is call what I not sure , aka means I got one board and another one , so I pin can choose the board or the another sub , I forget the name for it . That time i just follow what pinterest suggest create board first . Hope you know what I mean here.

Nice share. Taking in the knowledge as Pinterest will most likely be my main focus for my blog.

 

[YujinTan]

so guys who managed to get traffic , can do a short summary how you all do it?

I only just pin but problem is better pin on board or ?

 

[GenesisOne]

I see the power of your system and would like to add it to my SM traffic sources, but I am complete ignorant about this platform.
So I would ask you if it's allowed to put a link in each and every pin you post (I guess so, just confirming).
Do you cloak or use naked url's?
What would you say about using Jarvee to perform the tasks instead of Tailwind?
Is it better to start with brand new accounts or buy aged?

So far your journey is pretty inspiring. Thanks

Just look what social traffic monsters are doing, like buzzfeed.
They get ab. 3 mln clicks from pinterest monthly.

Sadly I don't know what you mean, can you explain it again?

Good luck with your blog

This thread is the summary

I only just pin but problem is better pin on board or ?

All pins are pinned to boards, do you mean better to pin to a personal board or a group one?

I dont put a link in the description. wherever i set the pin up from is where it links back to. I dont use cloaks or proxies so I am the wrong person to ask about that. I have never used Jarvee and I don't know what it does, I have only used tailwind, mainly because most of my accounts were free and are grandfathered in. I personally will never use an account purchased from someone else due to the liability it causes. I dont want people seeing my methods when i am promoting so I make all my own ones

Good Tips.Thanks for the sharing.

Thank you, my pleasure

My pleasure, yes in this particular method that was the idea. It can also be used for various methods to get exposure such as promoting something you want in front of people all day without them necessarily having to click on it. If you are promoting a new event or something political to get a message in front of people.

@William702 - THANK YOU! What a truly epic post, share and knowledge infusion.

I'm late to the Pinterest party as a marketer (and even later to find this thread) but what you have displayed here encompasses what many an early Net pioneer envisioned it could always be. And that is a place of freely flowing information, knowledge and community.

I hereby nominate you for my newly conceived award...the "Hatty" (like a Grammy or Emmy only better

Mods, take note please!
