Pinterest journey - Growing Accounts

Thing is I don't want to water down the brand board with other crap. We post our own content and for what it is, very targetted and focused I think it does well with only 224 pins we get 30,800 unique views, 1200 or so people engaged and about 214 clicks from UK users (more from the US but thats of little use to us) our account sat with nothing on it and then we paid a VA to pin for us and we saw improvement, my point is and not to high jack this thread that if your a business posting your own content I don't think is spam as that's the purpose of it.
I would test it ofc on different acc :)
 
Agree with some of the other comments about the purpose can you clarify? I don't thinking pinning your own stuff is spam or treated as such our business board does 30k unique views and it's all our own products/blog posts?

That said, your gardening board if you plan to try and make money from that board in the the future I might be interested in getting a few things pinned ;)

Ok, i will clarify! the end game is to pin my stuff.

But till then i want to populate my boards with other pins because i have a lot of niche boards.
For example: On one account i have over 40 in which i pin, randomly between 0 and 3 images/day. Number of pins in my board increases slowly, if i would start pining my website i had the chance to pin between 0 or 1 pin from my website and 0-3 from other websites. At this moment i have 100-200 pins/board so it's to early to pin just my stuff continuously.

Another reason for not pining my stuff on other accounts, beside the gardening one, is because i'm waiting my boards to get in top in searches and then i will pin my website. For example on my gardening account i'm in the first row when you search for "Fruit Gardening".

Regarding the crap content, i'm planing to add a filter to the bot for some bad domains i will start with detecting the domain redirection, that's the big spammer do. But i need to analize a lot of pins scrapped to find a solution for how will detect and handle my bot this pins.

PS: maybe adding a referral code changer for amazon and other big website

My Beauty/health niche account got suspended. Why !?
We decided not to reactivate your account because most of your Pins go against our spam policy. You won't be able to access your Pins or messages, or sign up for a new account.
It's a hard niche with a lot of bad/spammed links to automate. At least now i know that my pining method it's ok.

Sorry to hear, but that happens sometimes. I got my account banned yesterday. I did not post, repin, comment or follow/unfollow on this acc for atleast one month. And the acc was atleast 4-5 months old.

You logged in and then your account got suspended?
 
nice plan cannot wait for the results. What sources/ blogs do you read for pinterest information?
 
yep, I was using the same private proxy as before... And many other accounts are running on the same type of proxies without any issues...
it's possible because you didn't had activity on account and you accepted some board invites. been there done that :))

i scrape other board, that's the most time consuming part

I did not accept anything. My account was banned before I have logged in. ( I have found that via the time of email from them that the acc was suspended.)
 
UPDATE*
I did not focused on growing accounts but instead i focused on upgrading my bot. So here is what i did to it:
  • rebuild it from scratch
  • added a redirect filter ( no more pins with short urls, probably in this way i won't pin so much spam links )
  • added a filter for redirects, if the domain changes but the path after the domain is the same the bot will pin with the new url
  • added whitelist blacklist for domains
  • added function to pin from my website the first 4-5 pin and after that from other websites
  • extracting statistics of account
  • multi thread ( this way the time between pins will be different for every account)
I'm thinking to add 2 new function, to modify the image before pining it and a human behavior ( ex: clicking on pins, visit 1-2 websites from pin, going to profile page, checking notifications, "trying pins", randomly once a day)
What do you think it will help me this 2 new functions?

The second one will do a difference.
First one will not, no matter what somebody tells you.

Plus, if you manage to give "an order" to your slave accounts to click on pins from your main account and on % of those pins to click the link and visit a website then you are golden.
And then just let us know when you start selling your bot :)
