It looks like Pinterest makes them at least a few times a year. This time, sites across all the niches are being blocked, accounts suspended without any warning. Most of the people who were suspended or blocked got their accounts up and running in a few days.
If you want to know how to act if your account was suspended or your site was blocked, on Pinterest, check out this post. In November , Tailwind team implemented a long-awaited feature that allows you to add a Pin Title to every pin. This feature was especially important for those websites which had issues with Rich pins Pinterest confirmed many times since about the spring of , an ongoing technical issue on their side, with Rich pins on the newly verified websites.
The problem was if you scheduled those pins via Tailwind to other boards, the pins published by Tailwind, would have no pin titles. Luckily, since November this problem is solved. Pin title field in Tailwind also helps with your pins linked to your claimed social accounts Youtube and Instagram.
Pinterest has a hard time getting Rich pin data from these platforms, so with a new field on Tailwind, all your pins, even those linked to Youtube and Instagram posts, will have a chance to rank high on Pinterest since you can add a pin title. In the first part of August , Pinterest made a new major spam clean-up, similar to what happened around the same time in Many sites especially in the money-making niche were blocked for about a week.
Most of the legit bloggers were unblocked, but for some sites, the Pinterest team decided to keep them blocked or unblocked the domains while keeping their Pinterest accounts suspended.
The new design of Pinterest Analytics dashboard looks a lot cleaner than the old dashboard. Not all the accounts get access to new Analytics dashboard at the same time so you might not be seeing it yet. You can find more details about new Analytics and how to use the tool in this post by Tailwind. Also, I have another article if you want to learn more on how to use Pinterest for business this year. One of my blogs not this one that you are reading has been also affected.
Last summer, if you scroll down this post, a similar wave of blocked domains happened but that one was resolved for me in 12 hours, for most of the bloggers within days. This type of penalty on Pinterest is the worst because when your domain is marked as spam, all the pins you already have on the platform, stop bringing you traffic instantly.
They are just recommending to keep emailing to [email protected] and asking Pinterest to remove your site from a blacklist. I will update this post when we have any news about this mass domain blocking.
Meanwhile, if you want to read more about what you should do when your Pinterest account is suspended, or your site is blocked on Pinterest, my detailed post on this topic is here. Videos pins used to be only an option for promoted pins, but in March Pinterest made videos available to the majority of accounts on the platform, to upload them as regular organic pins. Most of the accounts see among the types of files you can upload, videos. All business accounts on Pinterest can now create Carousel Pins — this is a new type of pins which allows up to 5 different images published as a slider under the same pin URL.
These images can be linked to different page URLs on your website, they can also have different titles and descriptions! Pinterest initially introduced Carousel pins as an additional tool for businesses to make their ads more attractive. However, right now you can create Carousel pins without starting an ad campaign. From the drop-down, select Create Carousel. There is a chance that as early adopters of the new pin format, we could gain some additional benefits.
First, at the beginning, not many users will create these Carousel pins they obviously take more time than the regular pins. Plus, Pinterest should probably give an additional initial boost to the new pins so that more content creators get interested in saving these Carousel pins. This day many bloggers and Pinterest marketers woke up to see their domains marked as spam on Pinterest. Each and every pin on affected accounts was not leading users to the websites anymore — they were sending users to a broken page with a ruthless message:.
As far as I was able to follow up the situation in multiple blogging communities on Facebook, the majority of the affected accounts were working fine within 24 hours since the issue was known about. In case you ever get caught by a similar issue in the future, here are a few tips on how you can try to help your domain get unmarked as soon as possible. When you write an email to them, no matter how pissed you are by the situation, make sure you use respectful language because after all, the person reading your message, is just a person.
Tailwind made an announcement about their long-awaited SmartLoop tool. They promised to roll it out on all accounts within weeks. If you are following Pinterest updates and changes closely, you probably noticed that is the year when Pinterest started really opening up a little more info to marketers, bloggers, content creators. Yes, Pinterest even organized the first-ever conference for content creators. They just never spoke so openly about the ways you should promote your content on their platform.
However, a lot of stuff that was discussed during the conferences worked on Pinterest for years this way, and Pinterest just never spoke about it so openly. On this page, I do my best to separate what Pinterest reps claim, what Pinterest Best practices dictate, from what actually works to drive traffic to your website. I spend a lot of time more than I wish I had to! I spend this much time doing it because among the numerous Facebook threads and comments sometimes I can see a pattern and it helps to figure out how Pinterest works for people in different niches, following different strategies.
Also, I do it to save time for my students and to be able to provide the most recent and comprehensive information in my Pinterest SEO Traffic Secrets Course. Now, getting back to BoardBooster. It was one of the two most popular Pinterest schedulers for about 4 years and offered automation tools at an affordable price. This was ok for a few years, but at some point, all big social media platforms crash upon unapproved apps or tools.
Unfortunately, there was no way Pinterest would allow BoardBooster become an approved partner and the tool was closed for good. If you want to start using it efficiently and save yourself the time from learning it by trial and error, you could make a jump start with my very affordable video course dedicated to Tailwind. This one is quite a fundamental statement made by two Pinterest reps in an interview for Pinterest scheduler Buffer check the video below, start from However, it seems like from now on, Pinterest will be working on reducing the distribution of pins saved to group boards.
Why Pinterest decided to do that? They said group boards became over time something different from what they were created for. Have you seen group boards with thousands of contributors?
I bet you have because they are usually the ones that are too easy to be accepted to. Spam eventually takes over these boards and the board is losing the focus on one topic. As a consequence, even legit pinners on those boards get low engagement scores for their pins and a confusing keyword context based on all the spam saved to the board previously. For me, it means that group boards have to be as focused on one topic or keyword, as standard boards are.
Since Pinterest takes distribution away from the big group boards, I can tell that you naturally will redirect the majority of your efforts to building your own boards. You might not even realize that, but a lot of established bloggers see their Pinterest traffic tanking for a while. Their accounts are packed with group boards they joined while their own boards are the minority.
If this is your case, time for a change has come. Did you notice that in their Best practices, Pinterest recommends creating at least 5 boards for each topic we cover in the blog or website? By doing this, you can target several keyword variations on each board. To help your new pin succeed on Pinterest, you have to pin it to a relevant board first. Or several relevant boards. And they should be boards on your account. By saving the pin to a relevant board, you give this new image the right keyword context.
By saving first to your own board, you help Pinterest boost your pin, because they claim to give priority to the pins saved by content creators. Some marketing sites received a great traffic influx from Pinterest in those times. Currently, Pinterest is cutting off the long pins at Several Pinterest reps talked a lot about the freshness of pins. Why would they touch on this subject? Apparently, too many bloggers were repinning their own exactly the same pins too many times to multiple boards.
If you even upload the same exact image from the same exact post URL, Pinterest will recognize the image as an existent pin and in the majority of cases will immediately show you the summed up stats for that pin.
The conclusion is — you need to create a lot more new pins — new image, new text overlay, new colors — anything at all has been different on the image to be considered a new pin. They started saying content creators should save new pins weekly, but I lately hear voices saying we should do it daily. Who promised Pinterest marketing is going to get easier? All platforms get more complicated algorithms over time as the competition between content creators promoting on these platforms grows.
The longer you wait, the harder it gets for a beginner. This mean, all your new pins from the same page are targeting exactly the same keywords. Pinterest recommends you to create new pins and change keywords to give another perspective on your image and attract an additional audience. Changing pin description when you save a new pin does its positive job in this sense, but your SEO title and keywords in it remain the same.
Instead, go to Pinterest Homepage and click on Create Pin in the right top corner:. Then you can upload the new image or if you saved it on the page, you can also retrieve the image from your site insert the link to your page under the image upload. The SEO description remains the same, but you can and should also use new keywords in the pin description see the screenshot below :. Pinterest reps confirmed what was added to their Best Practices page — you can and you should create multiple pins per post to target different keywords or audiences in each pin version.
Pinterest used to have a hour delay in stats shown for each specific pin. Lately, they show analytics on a pin basis almost in real time. Pinterest claims they have a 2-hour delay in reporting the data. A side note here. The stats you are seeing on a pin basis are summed up counts for all repins, impressions and saves of all versions of this pin.
Imagine a user B repinned your original pin to a bigger board and that repin got a lot more impressions and clicks. This means, your own pin will be showing a summed up stats from your pin and the repin of user B Stats.
