So a lot of people (myself included!) are/were saying that Pinterest is good for backlinks as well.
Each (re)pin is a n0follow AND a d0follow link to your site, right?
So getting a few pins with 200+ repins should give you tons of nice links, right?
Google is paying attention to 'social signals', so that should be good as well, right?

well.... I am yet to see any backlink from Pinterest being picked up by google. MajesticSEO and Ahrefs are both not showing anything either.
So I did something I should have done first thing when talking about this; disabling javascript and checking Pinterest.... -> no pins.
So it seems google isn't seeing any of those fancy d0follow links you are creating... Yet I see all kinds of Pinterest stuff/tools/services advertised as being good for SEO.
Seems plain wrong.

Any (counter) ideas? maybe someone who IS seeing backlinks from Pinterest being picked up by google?
 
I was seeing them up until about a month ago when they just started to disappear from my Google webmaster stats. I dont know what changed but since then I haven't detected a single one.
 
hmmm I checked another site of mine and I actually see links in webmastertools for that one.
Wondering how google is seeing those though...
any ideas?
other people seeing or not seeing their links?
