I have a board that has about 800+ pins, and I only pin to it when i release a product or image, i think maybe 5-8 are mine, the rest is cause i want the best board for what my niche is, so i'm repiniing. If you want to make a good board, make sure its defiantly not about you. Make it about your niche, and attract people to the board, where they might click on the odd link that is yours. You can't expect in this day and age, to just create a board jam pack it with 500 pins all to your same ecommerce website or something (where you are dropshipping chinesey nonsense) lol
I don't track how many clicks i get, i haven't converted to a business account, so i don't see analytics.
