Pinterest for SEO?

I use it for a few sites. I see some traffic from it also

GamblingShares care to share more? I’m curious how this works – haven’t experimented with it

Can you give us a few examples of how it was used and whether Google Analytics has a special tab under social monitoring any traffic coming from it?

Thanks

once I get home I will post a few ways

no idea about GA as I would never use link my sites to it .( you giving Google to much info )

I don’t think its very helpful for SEO as I used it for sometime and did’t see any results. If any one got any positive result then please do share.

here is an easy way for seo… a backlink ? Pin any image to a link on your website or blog . Ideally, the image and URL used should be directly related to the Pinterest content being pinned.

now keep in mind Pinterest up to 500 characters for describing your photo/image. Cram it full of keywords ( ok dont overdo it lol). Google bots can crawl and index Pinterest data

remind me and I will post more ,I was away from a real pc all day ..lots to catch up on !

For direct traffic you’re correct, you won’t get much traffic but for increasing the value of the page your pin is linking to it is very helpful.

I highly recommend using ALL social media sites for SEO boosts.

Yup…but you know what I think is really happening…it is not just the mini-article in the description, that definitely gets assimilated into your ranking on terms. It is the increased ratio of nofollow and dofollow links. I believe (due to the changeover of almost all social media to “nofollow”) that we can now benefit from have a larger nofollow to dofollow link profile than was previously deemed optimal.

Yes. I used Pinterst and traffic from them also.
