Using Pinterest to Drive Traffic to Your Website

This webinar is part of the Vernon Area Public Libary Business Lunch Series.  In this 50-minute webinar I covered:

- What is Pinterest and how are companies are using it?
- Who should be using Pinterest and how much time to spend there
- How to set up Pinterest, create boards, and start pinning strategically
- The ins and outs of Pinterests terms and conditions
- How to use Pinterest to drive traffic to your website the right way

And even had some time for Q&A at the end!

In this webinar I talked about using the www.pinterest.com/source/yourwebsite.com site to find out who is pinning your website.

I also mentioned the www.Woobox.com App to add a Pinterest Tab to your Facebook Page.

I have a giant blog post you can reference for lots more information on Pinterest:

    I have used pinterest on my website and the result was great, it jumped from page 9 to #3 in around 2 weeks time.

    The key is we must got our website pinned and repinned by many people, which is the hardest part. Most of pinterest users won’t doing repin when they aren’t like what we pinned.

    I do simple thing to outsource it on fiverr and got my site pinned by 75 people, I don’t know how can he did it just search by typing pinterest on fiverr and you will find it on the TOP. Many other seller offer pinterest service on fiverr but in my experience they can’t make my website increase in SEO. I don’t know why.

    Reasons why pinterest is good for SEO: 
    1. You need to ping the links of your pins to the to get your website increase in SEO.
    2. Even not support anchor text (except the url link), it’s still perfect for placing our keywords in description. Google will read it!!
    3. Once our website pinned it has 3 backlinks counts.

    Pinterest really seems to be up and coming. I just read a post about pinterest (on AMEX Open forum) being the most trusted site among women as far as trusting product recommendations. Definitely a fact to keep in mind.
