Apparently I’ve been a little slow to jump on the bandwagon. I hadn’t considered giving Pinterest much of a look, but now you have me reconsidering that. Thanks for the new perspective!

Walter,

Very true! you just need to add it to one of your routines! A bit like commenting, when you read an article, if it interests you comment… same thing… if you see an image pin it!

I am unaware of issues with sharing other peoples pins, i believe the issue is pining people images… but the issue is with pinterest the the website not yourselves… or can someone else comment on this and clarify?

It look likes Pinterest is going to be sticking around, so I’ll be seeing how it can fit into my social media world. The trouble is putting enough effort into each arm of SEO strategy. Not enough hours in the day!

I tried pinterest but the hazy copyright terms and conditions made me wary of sharing other people’s pins. Not sure how things have developed on that front, I guess if you are just uploading your own content then it clearly is something that can work for you.

Adrian,

That’s a really good point, however looking more at pinterest people do happily pin products and “ordinary” pictures. I think its more about educating people to pin things! But of course if you can make the image more viral that it obviously becomes easier!

Nice post Jonny !
I started adding images on pinterest (and currently is the only site apart from my own which can hotlink images)around 2 months ago, and now gives me almost a 1000 links (WMT) !! Its amazing how people can build links for you by sharing your images.

I have no doubt that this will all work fine in terms of SEO but I wonder if and how you have to change your content to attract Pins for your pages especially for a business. I think it is getting harder and harder every week for a business to have people “Like” your webpages on Facebook or tweet about it when it isn’t something funny or cool. People tend to shy away from promoting businesses. Most things I see on Pinterest is still fun stuff or “cool” aka expensive consumer products which in many cases are not even linked (or is it pinned now) to the company’s website but somebody else’s webpage.
