Using Pinterest to create traffic
AHH!! DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE!!!
NEVER pin from your homepage.
You will capture all the images on the page and they would all link back to your homepage (not to your specific post)!
If you update your page and your blog post moves off the main page, people following your pin will not be able to find your specific content!
Looking at your blog toolbar
Thank You!

Happy blogging!
