Pinterest domain verification / how to not get suspended

wiaderny01 · May 6, 2019

Hello,
I had my domain verified on my first Pinterest account. Then it got banned due to spam, no idea why. I was doing the same stuff every day for 2 months and they just decided to ban it. I've spammed them with appeal e-mails but they never replied.
Now, when I try to confirm the same domain on my second account, I'm getting "Domain failed to be verified. Try again!" error.

so my question is: I can't verify my domain for the second time because it was linked to the suspended account, right?
What are the pros/cons of claiming my domain?

How to not get suspended? On my 1st account, I was just adding pictures directly from Pinterest and linking them to my website. I didn't even use the follow/unfollow method. Just pinning. The first thing that comes to my mind is that I used to pin the same link but with a different picture. 2 pictures for 1 blog post. I heard that it's better to repin other people stuff, but I checked the "big guys" accounts (i.e BuzzFeed) and they're just adding pins from their website, no repins at all.

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what are you wanting from us to tell you?

You were "adding pictures directly from Pinterest" and your account got banned, and you are wondering why they have banned you for the spam.
So, you were borrowing/stealing other people pictures and were pointing those pins to your website? Am I right here?

Someone reported you, probably several times, and your account got banned.

Only pros for claiming domain is Pinterest analytics.

Buzzfeed is creating their own pins and they don't care that much about Pinterest. Facebook is their main source of traffic if I'm not mistaken.

No dude. I was making my own pictures, but I didn't pin them directly from my website, just uploaded them to Pinterest. That's what I mean.

if you want to verify this domain all you need to do is add another domain to your Pinterest profile and submit it, after claim your website add the old website and you will get the meta tags and HTML file to confirm your website

How is this exactly to be done?
Claimed another domain first and after that claim the old website? Then will get the meta tags and HTML file for the old website? Can't really understand the exact steps here. Can you shed some light?

I will try with my poor english..

Like Josef wrote, just claim a different domain first if you are getting the "we can't verify your domain, try later" message. But this only works if your domain is not blocked on Pinterest.

If so, do this:

1. add another domain and click "verify". If you have a .com domain for example, just delete one letter and make it .co
2. you should get the html tag
3. if so, add your original and click on verify again
4. you should get now a new html tag for your .com domain
5. verify and save

Nope.Tried this, doesn't work. When you add back the original domain just get "Domain failed to be verified. Try again!" error again.

When i don't know what to do, sorry. It worked for me just a few hours ago. I had the same error message before.
