Lots of pages, lots of keywords gets lots of views.Also, most people follow back. Follow a lot of people and get a lot of followers.But, are a lot of random followers what you want, or do you want a smaller number of real followers that are I treated in what you pin?

@richardmclaughlin neat…thats the real spirit of pinterest…imho..
.. what i love about pinterest and facebook and my wifi card on my camera is how much easier it has made the tekk world for me and all the others like me who arent very tekkie.., who grew up in a whole different world….even without remote controls or time shifting on tv…. our first mailing list to our database was done on the kitchen table……..

I don’t usually follow back. I do use it occasionally to pin a photo from my blog and that helps with traffic. I have one photo I pinned that has had over 8000 likes and many repins! @annfurnivall

I love Pinterest. I have a personal board and just started building out a business page and have got a lot of repins and follows/likes. I doubt you can have too many photos, its all about optimization.
I checked out your board last week and went crazy clicking away. (In a good way.)
One thing I noticed was it was difficult to discern which items were yours and which came from other boards. You have to click through to the website to find out. Adding a link to your website in the photo description could help with that.

@iamconsulting oh im glad you looked.. whats yours under? .most of the pictures arent mine…. .. i have put the website on almost all the actual greenoak product and in store pictures….. my garden and the people pictures i havent so much….
whats kind of happening in my world is the businesses are watermarking their pictures…i think its a little too commercial for me…but what happens is when a picture with a link on it gets repinned , eventually the pin falls off or is removed….im seeing some of my pictures that had my url on them , floating around out there without my url link…
i really enjoy it too….

Another suggestion is to include hashtags in the description so that it will pop up when searching. Also you can see who is checking out your website by putting in http://www.pinterest.com/source/“yourwebsite”
