questions from a newbie to Pinterest

lislaw said:

make an account for each site, so 4 Pinterest accounts. populate the accounts with relevant boards and fill the boards with pins. after a few days and several pins on every board, convert the accounts into business account (free). and claim each website on the specific account. i.e website A claimed on account A. start pinning your website posts/pages.

that's what I do. I don't get much traffic from Pinterest though...

pinning is the only way to do it as far as i know,
also, you can rank these pins into google with some cheap links

Ok. Do I still need to do "on page" SEO for the pins to rank them for the keywords I want, or will they rank for the terms that google decides?

Also, I saw earlier someone mentioned something about hashtags. Any idea how to use these? (they seemed important, and a new addition to Pinterest)

For example, I have 4 websites in 4 totally different niches (not even remotely related to each other) and I would obviously want to promote all 4 of them through the same Pinterest account. So, how do I do this? I mean, I have a faint idea that creating one board for each niche / website might help, but then what? How do I actually drive the traffic to my websites? Do I just post some images and then wait? Or what?

Any tip, small or big, is greatly appreciated, so please share! Also, if you know of a good beginner's guide to Pinterest that is up-to-date please share with mere mortals like me and God will see your good deed and reward you greatly

I can have more accounts at the same time??? I mean, from the same IP? I thought this was not allowed, cause if it is... hell yeah I'm gonna do it xD

Also, by "populate with relevant boards" do you mean that I should make more than one board for each site?? What's the point in having more boards with the name weight loss 1, weight loss 2, weight loss 3, etc?

lislaw said:

I have many accounts, but I have dynamic IP addresses. I use my home connection when making the accounts, but later I use VPN after they are a bit older.
Board is like 'category' in your blog, if you only have 1 category, maybe you don't need multiple boards.

I do not really think that having 1 account per 1 niche website would make any difference in terms of traffic. On the contrary, running multiple accounts will sooner or later backfire when they update their algorithm once again. As I see it, there is no problem in having 1 account for all of your websites with separate boards for each of them. Besides, Pinterest have a feature called 'Linked accounts" that you can legitimately use if you have multiple websites. What really matters though is pinning ORIGINAL content. The captions, hashtags, titles can all be the same, but the picture must be fresh and unique. BTW what are your niches?

I am concerned about safety more than about traffic.

My niches... um... am I allowed to tell??

Nana Dada said:

You can have multiple linked accounts and switch between them without logging out, i.e. there's no need to have all that hassle with VPNs, proxies, etc. And you can have one personal and no more than 4 linked business accounts too (which is exactly what you need):

Well, just asking out of curioisity, you can keep this to yourself or share with us, no questions asked really

tazarbm said:

can I link more than 4 accounts, or 4 is the maximum

tazarbm said:

One niche is general, while the other 3 are.... 1) self improvement, 2) arts / crafts / hobbies, 3) pregnancy

Hi,

I just got my first Pinterest account and I want to start promoting my websites to make money with the traffic from Pinterest, but I don't know how to approach this.

For example, I have 4 websites in 4 totally different niches (not even remotely related to each other) and I would obviously want to promote all 4 of them through the same Pinterest account. So, how do I do this? I mean, I have a faint idea that creating one board for each niche / website might help, but then what? How do I actually drive the traffic to my websites? Do I just post some images and then wait? Or what?

I already spent a couple of hours on this sub-forum and, while I did learn a few things about using Pinterest, most of them are outdated as I understood that Pinterest have changed their algorythm in October??

thanks for tips... Question: if I claim a website and my Pinterest account gets banned will I be able to claim the same website with a different pinterest account that I'll create afterwards, or is the website banned too? I always wondered this
