New Pinterest Analytics
Did you get the email from Pinterest about the new analytics for Pinners with their own website? It gives interesting info on the pins made from your site, popular pins, number of repins, number of views etc and is well worth taking a look at.
Here is how:
1. Get early access to the new look Pinterest. Go to your drop down box in the top right hand corner and pick Switch to the New Look.
2. Make sure you have a verified website. If you have a website listed on your profile with a check mark next to it, you’re verified. If not, follow these steps from Pinterest help to verify.
3. Once your website is verified, go to the top right menu and click on Analytics.
4. Start exploring your analytics results. Check out everything you can do in this video tour.
Things you can learn:
- What has been pinned most recently – do interact with your Pinners by ‘liking’ their pin or leaving a comment
- What has been re-pinned the most – what are the most pin-worthy pics
- What has been clicked the most to return people to your website – which bring you the most traffic
I think, along with the introduction of business accounts at the end of last year, that this is available now in readiness for the arrival of some form of monetisation of Pinterest for business users. Is this laying the foundation for some kind of ad product arrival, rather like the paid advertising for Facebook pages. Only a tiny faction of your fans will now see your posts in Facebook unless you pay to ‘promote’ them. Will Pinterest for business be going the same way?

I really hope Pinterest doesn’t try to charge like fb. I do love that they’ve added this feature though 🙂

I got the email from pinterest, followed all the steps, but every time I try to check my analytics, it states that they aren’t ready. I’m so bummed. I’ve tried everything, including contacting pinterest, but I’ve yet to hear back.

Have you verified the website Bonny? Is there the check mark next to your website address under your profile when you log in? If yes, then I’m not sure what’s wrong and Pinterest support is the only way to go. Sorry. They aren’t that great – the first reply will be an automated one which appears to be pretty much unrelated to what you asked, from my experience. But you do get the option to reply to that with more info, and then you should get a real reply from a real person. I hope this gets sorted for you soon – do drop in and let us know how it was resolved.

I’m worried that Pinterest will start charging businesses as well… I hate that <5% of my FB fans actually see my posts… Just so frustrating!
April 12, 2013 @ 7:48 pm
It is frustrating – after we all spent so much time and effort on our facebook pages to get all those likes and fans – and now facebook won’t show them our status updates and posts unless we pay them! Its a bad service to the followers as well as those running the pages.

I hope Pinterest doesn’t go the same route as Facebook but if it does at least Pinterest serves a purpose for me other than brand promotion. I love using it and searching around on it. I can’t say the same about Facebook anymore!
April 14, 2013 @ 7:43 am
I didn’t even know FB was charging (I’m way behind on these things) and I JUST started using Pinterest (like I said, way behind), but I hate when you like something and it changes so drastically.
Thank you for the post.
I’m visiting today from the Raising Imperfection hop.
