Pinterest is a social media platform that allows users to pin images and videos to their boards for later viewing. Users can also follow other users’ pins and share their pins with their followers.
Pinterest has been described as “a visual bookmarking service for people who love to shop” and “the social network for creative minds.”.
According to a study by the eMarketer research firm, Pinterest will generate $1.35 billion in global revenue in 2016.
This makes it the sixth most popular social media platform behind Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Instagram, and YouTube.
While Pinterest has been known to generate traffic for bloggers and web designers, there is not much research on how effective Pinterest is for blog traffic generation. Some bloggers believe that Pinterest can be an effective way to connect with potential customers and generate leads.
However, it is important to note that not all pins are successful in generating traffic, so it is important to test out different pins and see which ones generate the most interest from your followers.
