James SpillanePinterest is a social networking site that is getting a lot of attention from people who are using the Internet. It uses the power of an online clipboard and will allow you to pin and create descriptions of any webpage/link to further enhance the way you describe them. There are a lot of people who are saying that Pinterest will allow you to get better SEO rankings, because it allows you to build links easily. However, there are also some people who are saying that it is not very effective, since it is now considered as one of the sites that are easiest to spam.
If you are going to look at Pinterest, you’ll see that it is a normal social networking site that will make it easier for everyone to share links. You don’t have to spend a lot of time in finding the things that you need, and it will also be very easy for you to share it to people who are within your network. Aside from this, you will also be able to easily build links that are pointing to your site, giving you juice from a related topic that was posted on an authority site. This is the foundation of any SEO campaign, and most SEO experts would agree to it.
However, the problem starts when Pinterest have decided to put “no follow” links and after they’ve been labeled as a site that can easily be spammed. Although Pinterest is doing something about it, the SEO results that you can get from it won’t be as effective as they were before. It is still a good place for people who are doing SEO, but it should just be one of your options and not your focus. I believe that you can still get results from it, if you mix it with some other SEO methods.
Since it is not that hard for one to pin webpages, I can still recommend it. However, if your niche is a bit more competitive, it would be better if you are going to focus all of your efforts on adding other methods that has more impact. This will give you better value for your time and will ensure that you will really get the best results from all your SEO efforts.
Links are still a good foundation of search engine optimization, but you need to make sure that they will be coming from good and authority sites. Quality links will still help you get better rankings, and Pinterest can provide you with that, but not as effective as other methods. I would suggest that you talk to an SEO Service provider to find out more about the things that you can do in order to get better rankings and to minimize the time that you take in order to optimize your website for the web.
