@geomink @Nikolaos To scale without using redirects I recommend using free 3rd party/parasite sites where you can drop a link to your moneysite/page(s). Of course that means the Pinterest user needs to click twice; once on the Pins target URL, and then again on a link on that page to get to...

Pinterest do not like redirects. They mention in it in their T&C's in several places. So, avoiding redirects if you can is the better strategy. You can still do redirects, but the chances of your account being suspended, even with quality images being posted, goes up. I've never used cloudflare...

Yes, there is a way to know whether you've been shadowbanned. What everyone else here said is true i.e. your stats will suddenly drop...but that still isn't a sure fire indication. There is a specific flag in the response to a certain Pinterest http request that you can look for. A "false" in...

Yes it is still very much profitable. It's not as easy as it was 2+ years ago. P's algorithm has changed quite a bit and getting traffic is harder...but with a little persistance and a lot of trial and error it is still profitable.

Pinterest don't particularly like direct links to Amazon products. If you do it rarely, then you'll be ok. But of you do it a lot...like every pin...then yes, they'll suspend your account. When you use your own domain, claiming you website won't protect you from being identified as spam at...

IFTTT isn't an option for Pinterest anymore. It seems they had a falling out some time back, and Pinterest dumped IFTTT. So you cannot connect or post to Pinterest using IFTTT. You can always submit your website RSS feed directly to Pinterest. You'll need to claim your website on your Pinterest...

You won't be able to use IFTTT with Pinterest anymore. It seems they had a bit of falling out (I'd guess that Pinterest weren't happy with the quality of accounts using IFTTT). I'm unsure whether zapier is useable...so maybe looking into at least. I would recommend another tool, but as I'm the...

@Univa Slightly off-topic from the original post, but re: copyright. It's not a straight forward subject. But general rule of thumb is: IF a website has share buttons (Pinterest, facebook etc) then they are happy for you to share their content to those platforms. BUT...their expectation is...

Pinterest bots follow redirects (e.g. 301/302 etc), so yes they can identify the final destination URL. Although their T&C's state no redirects, it seems in practice that it depends on where your 301 end up. Sometimes you can get away with it...but more often you won't. If you want to redirect...

Yes. It's not the same level of traffic as it was 2+ years ago...but yes, it's still there.

There's no definitive answer to that question. But in general, I consider an account aged at 1 year +. The older the better of course. What's probably more important though is the previous activity, and whether Pinterest still consider the account "in good standing"...which of course they don't...

I did try spoofing product rich pin data i.e. it wasn't really a product, but I provided the schema as if it was. I didn't notice any difference, higher or lower, in impressions and clicks to non rich pins. But then, as I was spoofing it in the first place, maybe that didn't help. I haven't...

Yeah, I get loads of them across all my accounts. They're other users messaging you. Some of them will be legitimate contact requests, but many will be spam.

Every image you post can have a target link attached to it. Anyone that clicks that image/link will go to your site, or wherever your link leads them to. So, it's all about the images you post, the titles/descriptions you use (which should be relevant to the image) and of course the domain/link...

Hi OhSEO, When you say "Pinterest shares", I'm guessing you mean that you want people to share the images you have on your travel website to Pinterest. Is that correct? If so, then the first thing you should do is create a Pinterest account of your own, if you haven't already. Then follw the...
