Who's pinning your photos?


You may already know this Pinterest "trick", but if you're like me and just now finding out, this is pretty much gold. You get notifications when there’s an activity with your pins, but not when your content on your blog is pinned.

Anyways, to see what's being pinned from your site, just add this URL into your address bar: http://www.pinterest.com/source/YOUR WEBSITE ADDRESS (without www.)

For instance, if I wanted to see who pins my pictures, I would enter http://www.pinterest.com/source/love-and-whimsy.blogspot.com

This is a simple way to see how your photos are being pinned and track what you're contributing to the Pinterest community. Pinterest has been a big source of traffic to my blog, and I'm sure that's true for you too. So knowing this can help you boost traffic to your blog, increase engagement and show you what people like so you can keep doing it.

If you check the URL often, you can see how many times your photos are being repinned, which photos are popular and what categories you are falling into. A lot of times, I would comment, like or follow my promoters (those who are pinning from my blog) to thank them and encourage them to come back.

Just sharing a little tip for your Thursday.

  3. I do this all the time -- and I love it! It gives me insight into what people are liking, what they are not, and who is reading my blog that 'stats' just does not give.
