Great method.Thanks for sharing
I have some questions:

I am from Germany and here in Germany you cant use Pics from other persons without their permission.
I road on a website that you have to pay thousands of euros if the owner see that you use his pic.

How it is in the states?
you have to pay money too if you use pics from other ?

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH KNOWLEDGE

Your English is fine.

I know Germany has very strict copyright laws but I'm not familiar enough with their laws to even begin to give you useful advice for your country.

And I'm not a lawyer so take what I'm about to say with a brick of salt. If the image owner is really persistent they can get your host to shut down your site or get your adsense account banned. If you're banking hard they could try to sue you (not going to happen with this type of site though).

I've never had a complaint and I think a lot of it comes down to how your site presents the images. Sites like imgur and reddit get away with using other's images all day long. Also one thing I do when downloading images is to flip them horizontally so they can't be found with a reverse image lookup. If you're bulk downloading images with a script there's a library called ImageMagick (available for PHP, Python, and Ruby) that makes flipping and other image manipulation very easy to do as you download.

By the way if anyone's looking for another way to monetize besides adsense check out offervault. There are quite a few offers on there that I think would work very well in this niche.

Hey guys


I'm sharing this easy method to give back to BHW as a way of saying thanks for everything I've learned since joining. This is a simple Pinterest method that doesn't involve getting followers or doing anything blackhat. I've tried this method and know it works if you just take action.


First install the Mozilla addon "Pinterest Right-Click" or Chrome equivalent to make pinning easier when you're pinning from a site other than Pinterest. Then open up an account on Pinterest. Something like 80% of Pinterest users are women so use a woman as your fake alias. Your profile needs to look legit so upload a pic of a woman and fill out all the information in the profile. You'll also need at least 10 nice looking boards to make your account look legit. The easiest way to do this is by finding some of the top pinners on

Code:

repinly.com/popular_pinners.aspx

and copying their boards.


You should have a complete profile and at least 10 pin boards now. Your account should look 100% legit.


The niche we're going to be working in is recipes. Why recipes? It's one of the most popular niches on pinterest and more importantly, people will CLICK on your pin and VISIT your website so they can find the recipe. In other niches like animals or landscapes or whatever, users may like your pin and repin it but they have ZERO incentive to click your pin and visit your website.


Now what you need to do is visit the "Popular" section of pinterest and find some popular recipe pins. Click on the pictures to visit the source website. These websites will be our targets where we'll copy recipes to use on our website.


Next create a simple website, copy the recipes from the sites you found earlier and post them to your site. Your site should be designed to maximize adsense CTR. Use a high CTR adsense theme (Thesis or Heatmap are good. Or search the forum for more suggestions), and put 3 adsense blocks above-the-fold on your website. If you don't have an adsense account just apply for one. I've gotten adsense approved using websites with 100% duplicate content so it shouldn't be a problem.


Now we need to pin recipes from our website in locations where they'll receive a lot of targeted views. To do this we need to become contributors of community boards. For those unfamiliar with community boards, these boards are large public boards with thousands or tens of thousands of followers where anyone that's a contributor can post pins. Usually these boards will have instructions on how to join as a contributor. If they don't then follow the board and comment ?[AT SIGN]board creator name? and ask politely to join. This is why you need a legit looking profile. If you come off as spammy you won't be accepted. As long as you look legit it's very, very easy to join these boards.


Some boards to get you started in the recipe niche:

Code:

pinterest.com/naglemarie/delicious-desserts/

pinterest.com/doorite579/my-pinterest-cookbook/

pinterest.com/doorite579/liquid-refreshments/

pinterest.com/patesmichael/food/

Now just pin images from your website to the boards. In the description write something along the lines of ?Food Name Recipe? or ?Food Name. Click For Recipe? You will get lots of repins and traffic to your site. Pinterest users are made up of bored, older women who aren't very smart and will click ads at a higher rate than younger more computer savvy users.

DON'T SPAM. DON'T BE DUMB and you'll make money.


Twist #1: Take RSS feeds from the original recipe sites and run it through yahoo pipes so it outputs the full recipe+image. If you don't know how to do this search this forum or google. There are tutorials that explain it better than I can. Then take that full rss feed and turn your website into an autoblog using wp-o-matic or another autoblog plugin.

Twist #2: Only use high CPC keyword recipes on your website such as Diabetic Recipes or Weight Loss Recipes for more $$ each click.

Twist #3: Think of other niches where users have a strong incentive to click your pin and visit your website then pin those images onto relevant community boards.

Hope this helps :beerchug:

He didn't say CTR adsense theme, he said "use a high CTR adsense theme". Besides, I was asking if he knew any particular good lookimg theme suited for this.

Thanks for your effort to point out though. And, when I see something intersting, my ADHD goes out the window.

Hey Guys,

This is a great thread! Full credit to the OP for this method.

So I decided to give it a go and I set up a nice little blog (put some real effort into it to make it look legit). I've been at it now for about a week and have only managed to get 3 ad clicks, making a massive $1.85 hahaha.

I have attached a screen shot image of my blog and ad placements and was wondering if I could grab some feedback on how I could improve my blog to get more click conversions.

According to my Google Analytics I've had just under 300 unique visitors on my page.

I'm using Thesis as my wordpress theme!

Cheers guys
