Website Traffic: Use Pinterest & Images to Grow Your Audience

Pinterest has grown into a powerhouse for traffic generation. Many consumers use it to pin ideas they find useful to boards where others can access them and visit the links to the information they’ve shared.

Imagine for a moment you want a new bathroom. You're not quite ready to make a purchase, but you want to put all your ideas and inspiration in one place. You create a bathrooms board on Pinterest. Here you add all the bathtubs, decor and bits and pieces to this board. Images you've 

  • Found in magazines online
  • got from your favourite bathroom designers
  • From blog posts that you like

You put all your bathroom images in one place so that you can share them with your partner, friends and family when you are ready to buy.

But you're not the only person who can see your boards. Unless you make the boards private, other people can see your bathroom board. And if they like some of the things you've pinned, then they'll pin them too.

Pinterest users don't just collect pretty images, they curate useful information and put it into collections. They click the images and visit the websites. 

You want to create eye-catching, vertical pins to put on Pinterest and consider joining groups (also known as Tribes) where people share one another’s pins to help everyone get more exposure.
