How to get a backlink from Pinterest?
Step 1: Create a Pinterest Account
Visit pinterest.com/login and create your account.
Step 2: Pick a method
Method 1: Add website to profile
- Add your webpage to your Pinterest profile.
- Navigate to your profile settings and enter your website URL in the designated field to display it on your profile.
Optional: Claim your website - verify ownership of your website by adding an HTML tag, uploading an HTML file, or adding a DNS TXT record to your website’s code. This process links your website to your Pinterest account.
Method 2: Create a Pin
- Click the ”+” icon and select “Create Pin.”
- Upload an image related to your project, add a title and description, and enter your project’s URL in the “Add a destination link” field.
- Choose or create a board to save your Pin to, then click “Publish.” Your Pin now contains a backlink to your project.
Tip: If your project is still young, then a Pinterest nofollow backlink will benefit you because it has a high chance of showing up below your own project in Search Engine Results Pages. This could potentially drown out some competitor sites and keep visitors in your sphere of influence.
