Thread summary and a practical add‑on: several members here (for example and ) are right that Pinterest can drive quick referral traffic — but the real win is combining a value‑first pin strategy with a short technical setup so pins actually point people back and are measurable. The checklist below is what to do if you want results fast (and what to avoid if you were thinking “full automation” like suggested).

A 20‑minute fast‑start checklist (good for or anyone short on time)

  1. Switch to or create a Pinterest Business account, then claim your website so Pins from your site show your profile and give access to insights.
  2. Install the Pinterest Save/browser button so visitors can pin your images from any page.
  3. Add a small UTM to links you pin (example: ?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=summer_launch) so you can see traffic in GA.
  4. If you sell or publish articles, enable Rich Pins (add the required meta tags and validate) so Pins show up with live product/article info.
  5. If running campaigns or shopping, install the Pinterest Tag to track conversions. (help.pinterest.com)

Quick design & content tips that aren’t repeated elsewhere in the thread
Use vertical images that fit Pinterest’s 2:3 visual (a common practical size is 1000×1500 px). Keep key text centered (Pinterest may crop very long images) and use JPG/PNG under web‑friendly sizes so Pins load fast. If you create Product/Article Rich Pins, add the proper Open Graph/Schema markup so Pinterest can sync updates automatically. (buffer.com)

Measurement and a caution about “automation”
Treat Pinterest primarily as a discovery/referral channel — most social links don’t pass traditional PageRank and are best used to drive traffic, not as a direct SEO shortcut. Also avoid botting or “auto‑pin everything” tools: Pinterest’s developer/guidelines explicitly forbid apps that perform actions without explicit user intent; use approved schedulers or Pinterest’s native scheduler instead. Combine the checklist above with UTM tracking and your analytics to see real lift. (tailwindapp.com)

If following , pair these technical steps with genuinely helpful pins (not hard sells) and the traffic you want will arrive — measurable, and sustainable.

Hi, I'm a "pinner" as Pinterest people call themselves (and are called by others), and I can tell you (as an insider) that the worst thing you can do is to go over there and begin to fill boards with things you want to sell. If you're not willing to contribute something of value to the community, you will be shunned! The best way to use Pinterest, is to pin your way to a following that will follow you all the way back to your site, but without being overly "commercial." I have 3 stores online, and people do go to my sites from Pinterest, but they go because they like what I pin and because they want to find out what else I have to offer. So, if you do it like that, you'll succeed, if you only fill boards with stuff you want to cram down people's throats, they will black list you!
If you pin interesting things you find on the web, for example, you'll have followers in no time at all. I was almost taken aback when I joined, when I saw how immediate was the traffic (and the avalance of emails from other pinners!) So pin smartly. Wish you well!

Getting lots of pins from your blog posts can increase engagement and drive traffic.That help boost your performance on search engines because pins to your post are ‘do-follow’ links.

Pinterest is growing nowadays, and most of the internet and affiliate marketers are already taking advantage of this social media platform. It's a wonderful place to pin attractive pictures and generate more followers. A tip to influence other targeted Pinterest members is to pin attractive pictures as many as you can. Once they see it, they're going to follow you for sure. :)
