Ask Me Anything About Pinterest (Pinterest AMA)

Well I doubt that. I think it is just Pinterest algorithm to block if an action is repeated x times. Wait it out. Try again in 24hours

That's what I'm hoping. However I didn't do anything with those accounts apart from making 6 boards with about 10-15 pins in each, and then the next day... impossible to accept even 1 invite! wtf?

 

[William702]

Hi @William702 I got a bunch of 10 months old accounts and I need to invite them to the 150 or so Etsy group boards I have on my mains.
Do you think they're old enough to accept 100 invites in a day? Or should I do it over a week?
Btw, I had created a brand new account just to act as a board "repository" -to keep the mains presentable- and after accepting about 10 invites the account was suspended. I thought I might risk an action block, but not a suspension... Anyway the good news is that I asked for a review and they gave me back that new account...

No I would not try and do it in a day. I would not try to send nor accept 100 in a single day. but you should do some tests, if you have a bunch of accounts do some tests and find out what is optimal. now that you have had the account back i find that all the limits are higher as they may think because its been reviewed that it's all good...who knows.

whats the usual rate for getting views of Pinterest to your website

if you have 100k monthly view in Pinterest what rate of them you will get in your website?

It is different for everyone and everything, there is no set amount.

How can i found repin user? Anyone help me please?

Not sure what question you are asking.

Hello, I have encouraged a weird thing,when I click on all my pins going to my website I get the link that the site is maybe suspicious and ask the visitor to visit or leave. Basically is like a "spam" filter? How can you fix something like that, should I contact the support team and ask them why my site is suspicious?

I have seen that but don't know how to fix it. I just play the numbers game.

Is it best to put a link directly to my Fiverr gigs or to my blog which leads to Fiverr gigs? I feel like directly to Fiverr gigs is better because less chance for drop off, but thought I'd ask.

Also, I know you've said before that you found Pinterest doesn't convert well for Fiverr. Could you give me a rough conversion rate just to know if it's still worth it for me? If I can't get at least a 5% conversion rate, it doesn't seem worth it to me.

If Pinterest isn't good for conversions, what social media platforms would you recommend for Fiverr. I find Twitter & Facebook are good, not sure if IG is good or not. I'm just starting up a blog now as everyone says that's the best source once you get up and running.

Thanks

I would do both, do split tests and see which gives you the best conversions. As for conversion rates no one can tell you, that's something you can only find out with testing. Personally I would reccomend Facebook for getting conversions to Fiverr.

Bro I did what you and other top pinterest guys have suggested and so far not seeing anything much different. I changed to business account. Scraped a bunch of good keywords from suggestions and also tags and use those for titles and tags in description of my pins. I started pinning more yesterday, set bot to pin every 10-20 minutes but today I see hardly any views on all pins. Does it take time for them to 'mature'?

How many views and click throughs should I expect after how long? I want to know if I am on the right track and just need to wait or whether I still have things missing which need doing.

That's most peoples problems when it comes to Pinterest, they think one day will change the world. Pinterest is SLOW going and needs time to build up. You wont see anything after just a day! No one can tell you how much traffic to expect, anything would be a pure guess and speculation.

Hello ! Do you know any tool to mass delete pins on Pinterest? I've reached the max limit on pinterest and i have to bulk delete a lot of pins

I made a macro to do it for me, i dont know of any bots that do it.

A lot of info here!

I'm glad you are finding some good info here.

Should you change the clock on your pc to match the time of your proxies area?
Yahoo asked me to confirm my location because of that. Couldn't that be a red flag for Pinterest or other SNs?

No I don't expect the world in a day plus I did it for several days and still nothing. Not even one hit. The couple of hits I thought I was getting are from old tumblr posts. I should see at least something if it was working. Also I looked at my pins and some have even like 170 views but no link clicks but most have 0 or only 1 or two. How do I get link clicks? Maybe it is different for you since you promote etsy product I was told; I am posting travel pics. So how can I make them click thru? I tried 'come and visit my website for more' earlier on but didn't notice any action.

Hi @William702 , great thread.

Can I ask a question please? We are a UK ecommerce biz and started to post to pinterest recently. We are getting about 25k monthly views on our pins etc, but hardly no clocks to the site and no sales. How can I increase my store traffic and website sales eith the views we are getting? We do have rich pond enabled.

As you can tell, pinterest isn't my strongest point

I have never used proxies before so I have no idea.

I tried 'come and visit my website for more' earlier on but didn't notice any action.

If someone clicks on a travel pic or even pins it do you expect that each one will actually click through to the site, most people just want to see the picture and don't give two shits about where it goes to. I basically try and play the numbers game so my advice is always keep posting and post more.

I believe it does. Any interactions with a pin is a positive thing.

Just start a board and invite people to pin on it, that will make it a group board.

I don't think there is a feature like that on Pinterest.

@William702 How many accounts do you have and how you manage them, what software. How do you avoid account suspension if you have many accounts? Thanks!

I have answered these questions many times in this thread and others I have started for Pinterest.

Thank you. I would suggest trying some engagement groups or tribes to have people share and repin your pins. This could generate some more interest and help you get seen by a bigger audience. use group boards to post on and try and automate the pinning so that you can concentrate on other avenues of traffic.

around 3 months ago, pinterest banned my account for reason also, pinterest is very often down in asian countries.
do you know the reason?

 

[YujinTan]

One thing sometimes " really depend on luck ?? " your pin is good, rich pin too , got repin a lot but irony no much click on it .

How you go about this? Is kinda also useless got hundred K impression yet the Clicks on it just less than 100

Could you recommend some better starter niches that encourage click throughs? I have already done work in this one and have accounts but if I am getting no traffic maybe it is better to pivot . I could just start other boards on one of the accounts I haven't used much.

It would be useful to test a different niche or two to find out whether the travel niche was the problem of my lack of click throughs.

If you are running MASS accounts you need Device Fingerprint Spoofing....or you are leaving breadcrumbs that allow P to easily discover and ban your accounts. Your account losses will dramatically drop if you do it correctly.

Do me a favor and don't post in my threads. You clearly spammed the fuck out of the place yesterday and posted 100+ posts. now you are back down to 50 something and have the audacity to post this too "I have completed 100 posts and 60 days but, I am still unable to see the button on the upgrade page", so you were clearly just posting to get Jr VIP even though when I called you on it in another thread you denied it. There are rules for a reason and they are to keep the members of this forum safe. So I wont be answering any of your questions so please refrain from posting in threads I started.

What you have to do is quantify what it took to get the clicks, if its not worth it for you then fine, there are other ways of generating traffic. I would not base it on how many clicks you are getting but rather how much effort are you putting in to get that traffic, is it something you can now set and forget.

Could you recommend some better starter niches that encourage click throughs? I have already done work in this one and have accounts but if I am getting no traffic maybe it is better to pivot . I could just start other boards on one of the accounts I haven't used much.

It would be useful to test a different niche or two to find out whether the travel niche was the problem of my lack of click throughs.

When it comes to selecting a niche I would go with what you know. something you are passionate about. if you know the subject you will be better at promoting it and selling it's benefits. I would not just go for any old niche I know nothing about. Think of some high traffic ones and see which ones fit you best or fit the resources or strategies you use to promote it.

If you are running MASS accounts you need Device Fingerprint Spoofing....or you are leaving breadcrumbs that allow P to easily discover and ban your accounts. Your account losses will dramatically drop if you do it correctly.

Thank you for answering that. I know NOTHING about that sort of stuff and have never done things on a scale where I needed them. I hope to learn more about proxies soon though.

I appreciate Ur efforts @William702 good share

Thank you, I'm glad it's helping out.

Have you noticed any postive impact on SEO creqting many pins on the same link?

 

[William702]

Have you noticed any postive impact on SEO creqting many pins on the same link?

Good question, yes I have, many clients have shown me reports and analytics but who knows what other activities they were preforming at the same time. I know it sounds odd but I gave up trying to quantify stuff a long time ago, as long as it is something I can set up in an hour that will run for a month or two I will do it. Just for the exposure alone by being at the top of many large group boards it's worth it for me and for some of my clients. That said there is a noticeable difference over time.

I have noticed very good results with Etsy listings and URL's specifically, more so than anything else. It could be the accounts I'm pinning with, it could be the relevant locations I am pinning to, but for sure I see good SEO results for Etsy listings. Check out this thread too if you are looking to increase rankings. https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/method-ranking-pins-on-pinterest.1011251/

Good luck.
