Most bloggers that discussĀ Pinterest marketing talk about the basics of using the platform, such as creating a Business account, using Rich Pins, and optimizing your profile and boards with keywords.
But, as an active and engaged Pinterest user, I see a number of not-so-obvious mistakes that Pinners are making all the time. Many of them can affect how your Pin is shared, and whether it gets clicks back to your website.
In this article, I outline 7 not-so-obvious Pinterest mistakes that are hurting your shares and engagement.
1. Using the wrong code in your Pins
I see many Pinners using their imageās alt text to generate their Pinterest description. But, the primary purpose of alt text is to describe the photo to visually impaired users, so doing this can harm your websiteās usability and search engine optimization (SEO).

Are you having a hard time figuring out Pinterest? You’re not alone. Even as someone whoās been online since 2001, and been a social media marketer since social media emerged, I had a hard time with Pinterest.

Users begin to drop off a site when its response time is longer than 2.5 seconds according to latest reports by Forrester Research, and 80% of users stop watching a video if it buffers.
Users are less likely to stay on your website if they find theyāre having to constantly wait on a page to load. Consumers have endless options when it comes to websites, and another one is only a few taps away.
Since it only takes a couple of seconds to go back and click on another Google result, if your pages donāt load as quickly as they would like, itās highly probable that users will leave and go to another website.

āLikesā on social media are a currency of sort with people and brands alike. Having a huge amount of followers is considered tantamount to success. But is it really?
Is there more to social media than we see on the surface or is it just a game of numbers, customerās whims and constantly changing trends?
Statistics reveal that quality content and customer engagement is more important than numbers of followers because the latter can be gamed by social media users. According to this article:
- Engaged customers frequent their favourite casual dining restaurants 56% more per month than actively disengaged customers.
- Engaged customers are 28% more likely to visit their favourite fast food restaurants every month than actively disengaged customers.
- Engaged hotel guests spend 46% more per year than actively disengaged guests.
Social media has changed the face of advertising.
