Most people will know that you type the following URL to see your posts that are pinned on Pinterest...
http://pinterest.com/source/your-blog-address/
Now you can see exactly how many times a post has been pinned, for a particular address. Pinterest has released a plugin that will show how many times a page or blog post has been pinned.
Blogger, however, has rolled out Country Redirect to blogs that don't have their own domain and so each post has multiple addresses, depending on where it is opened. The screen shot above shows how many times my Denim Fabric Baskets post has been pinned at this address:
http://threadingmyway.blogspot.com/2012/06/denim-fabric-baskets-tutorial.html
The following are all addresses for the same post and if I cared to look up the Internet Country Codes (here or here), there would be more.

So, if I really wanted to know the exact pin count for the Denim Fabric Baskets post, I would have to type in every possible address and add them up. Hmmm... Maybe if I had more hours in the day.
The Pin Count plugin, is a handy little tool to have, to keep track of your posts on Pinterest.
In June, last year, I wrote my thoughts on Pinterest and still have much the same opinion. For me, it's a positive thing.
If however, you don't like Pinterest, or you just want some control over your photos, you can prevent the pinning of photos from your site. Jessi, from Practically Functional will show you how. She added the link to the Blog Tips link party, here on Threading My Way and I use her code every week when I do feature posts, as I would prefer people to pin from the original source.
This post is part of the How Does Your Blog Look series, here on Threading My Way and will be added to the Blog Tips collection.

Thanks for this - I am new to Pinterest (a week) so am learning all I can!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, very interesting and useful. I will definitely be adding that sentence to my blog. In think those of use with good intentions can be a little 'green' about what these great, fun, online sharing things can do. At present I don't have anything that I think I wouldn't want pinned as I've only just started blogging, but knowing how to do this should I later on is great. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information Pam. I'm nuts about Pinterest and spend way too much time on there but it's such a good source of inspiration. I used to google a lot in the past to find things I wanted but that has been replaced by Pinterest. I don't put personal photos or anything I wouldn't want anyone else to see on my blog so re-pinning isn't a problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam - this is a really useful tool. I could get a bit obsessive over it, however...!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the plugin...thanks for sharing! I enjoy using pinterest. Having a picture makes it easier to find things there vs. bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about this Pam! Thanks for sharing another useful tip!
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to let you know that I featured your library bag tutorial on my round tuit post this week!

ReplyDeleteThanks! This is so helpful!
ReplyDeleteCryptocurrency prices have suddenly surged. People ask if now is the best time to invest? before jumping into conclusion i think you should take a look at things first. BTC price is gearing for a massive move upwards, even though the crypto market has been recording many downturns this 2023, the instrument seems to hold its ground. Investors who bought early are still in profit despite the recent price crash and they also earn by trading. There has been a lot of interest in BTC trading, many investors and newbies are actively engaging in the trade on platforms where they can accumulate more profit. We should follow the way of earning more regardless of the current market (bulls or bears), which is trading. Buy the dip now and trade, I have made $10,000-$20,000 profits not just by buying the dip but implementing trades with signals supplied by my broker Mr Bernie Doran, his trading signals and strategies are 100% accurate .
