Having trouble getting results (my fault though). Ive been repinning/liking and following other users. The problem is that I am getting like 2-3 new followers a day. Theres people that are managing to get hundreds of followers a day. Im not really sure how. If there was a way to follow someone and repin one of their pins simultaneously it would be good.
Im going to try following people from a category and then repinning from that category, hopefully that would work. Ill post results.
I am also suspicious of people claiming hundreds of new followers/day unless it's spread out over a LOT of accounts and using more than one copy of Pinblaster. I've been on Pinterest since before it blew up/long before the dailydot spammer publicity, etc. If you do relatively rapid following, Pinterest stops you at around 300/day. You can go beyond that, but you REALLY have to go slow/mix it up with other natural/real behavior.
With a tool like Pinblaster, which makes you manage accounts serially, at best you can get in about 400 follows, with two accounts/day (limited by time, not by Pinterest limits) . If you're super targeted, you're probably only going to get 20-40 followbacks/day off of that (and that's with a profile that you actually put work into, that has boards that are cohesive, etc, don't all look like uniform amazon white background product pics, etc).
I am NOT questioning the efficacy of Pinterest (i use it/leverage it in white hat ways i am very satisfied with). I'm also not questioning the value of PinBlaster. It's great and fairly priced.
But I am questioning anybody who says they're getting hundreds of new followers/day with one copy of Pinblaster.
(also- following people is not the only way to get followers, i know that. you can also Like/comment/repin. Same time limits/Pinterest rate limits apply. you're basically limited to around 1600 "behavioral events"/day in my experience using any serial tool like Pinblaster and moderate delays.)
