@korni indon't think deleting bad/old pins will affect the impressions..

Got some "dead" pins for more than 6 months be revived for no reason, I think the new updates will give some new juice to the old pins..

Logically, we can't get 100% of pins performing well, so, there will always some "bad" performing pins

I can't see myself going throw all the pins..

Maybe deleting some ugly canvas

This is one of the most honest and interesting threads I've seen. Big respect for not giving up after all the Google hits. Going all-in on Pinterest is a smart move, especially with the right niche. Wishing you all the best. I'll be following your journey.

After the update, unfortunately, my most active account started losing visitors, there is a 50% loss compared to last week.
Also, the profile link seems to have been removed from my content pinned by others.

It could be a shuffle and not necessarily a shadowban. Pinterest could be pushing summer content and hiding evergreen stuff.

I doubt a sane person would go through thousands of pins manually, lol. B2P has a feature that does it automatically for all your pins, and you can add an impressions threshold for the past 90/180 days.

Yeah, what you've mentioned is true. The 80/20 rule makes total sense here - 80% of our clicks usually come from 20% of our pins. There will always be bad-performing pins no matter what. In theory, deleting more of these underperforming pins could improve the accounts' overall quality score and thus unlock more reach for them.

That being said, I'd only recommend deleting pins as a last resort if your account is completely shadowbanned and you've tried everything else to revive it.
 
Just joined journey few days ago. The rpm/earnings is terrible so far.
last two days sessions rpm was just 5$ while in ezoic iwas getting 10$ around empv and sometimes 15$
Ill give it a few weeks before switching back to ezoic.
Unfortunately the impressions also been lower than usual. Just 4k around.

What is empv? Today, my second site was rejected by ezoic due to ai content. If I manually edit the content I receive from visitors and convert it to human-written text, will I be accepted? Has anyone experienced this before?

I think this one is link-shadowbanned even if it gets some impressions on pins without URLs. I'll try to post some inexpensive articles to see if it gets any traction on pins with URLs, but I don't have high hopes for it.

Acc #7 escaped the initial sandbox successfully, unlike acc #6, which is my biggest failure so far.

I'm testing a different strategy for this account to get more clicks, which seems to be working for the past couple of days.

This one got cooked again. I didn't expect this because I thought the account was showing a great trajectory and was growing nicely for about 3 months. All of my best-performing text overlay pins dropped to 0 in one day. It could be a shuffle and not a shadowban, but damn, it's so demotivating to see something like this... I might just try spamming collages again and say fuck it.

Wow this is very inspiring.
 
hi @korni
If you do this manually, what interval would you have for each pin? Is a 30-40 minute interval between pins on the same account safe?

Is it any better now? It usually takes around a week to settle down. Also, more traffic = higher RPM for the most part.

EPMV is Ezoic's measurement, and it means earnings per thousand visitors. Sucks that you got rejected. I haven't been rejected for AI content before.

I guess 30-40 minutes is okay. I doubt the time between pins is that important. The real thing to watch out for is spacing URLs as far apart as possible (depending on the number of unique URLs you have and daily pins).
 

I did it - 10m+ impressions and 100k+ clicks in the last 30 days!​

I’ve finally crossed 10m+ impressions on 1 of my Pinterest accounts over the last 30 days - the main goal I set for myself when I started this thread.

It took a lot of trial and error. There were plenty of ups and downs, and I came close to quitting more than once, but I stuck with it and made it through.

Now that the original goal is reached, it's time to close this chapter.

Thanks to everyone who followed along. Appreciate the support - and goodbye!
