Introduction
Pinterest isn’t just a platform for DIY lovers and recipe hunters anymore—it's a goldmine for bloggers aiming to drive massive traffic to their websites. With over 450 million active users globally, Pinterest functions like a visual search engine. If used strategically, it can generate consistent and targeted blog traffic. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get traffic from Pinterest to your blogging site step by step in 2025.
Before you can drive traffic, switch to a Pinterest Business Account. It gives you access to Pinterest Analytics, Ad tools, and the ability to claim your website.
Steps:
Visit Pinterest Business
Create a business account or convert your personal account
Claim your blog URL
Add your profile picture, description, and website link
SEO Tip: Use your blog niche keywords (e.g., “Auto News Blogger” or “Tech Review Writer”) in your bio for better visibility.
Just like Google, Pinterest runs on keywords. Optimize your profile, boards, and pins using keywords your audience is searching.
How to Find Keywords on Pinterest:
Use the Pinterest search bar
Look at auto-suggestions
Check trends.pinterest.com for popular topics
Analyze competitors' top-performing pins
Use these keywords in:
Pin titles and descriptions
Board titles and descriptions
Alt text (while uploading images on your blog)
Organize your content into niche-specific boards.
Example for a Tech Blog:
“Smartphone Reviews 2025”
“Gadget Comparison Charts”
“Tech News Updates India”
Pro Tip: Write keyword-rich board descriptions and choose relevant categories.
High-quality, vertical pins (1000 x 1500 px) perform best.
Pin Design Tips:
Use bold fonts and readable text
Add your blog post title clearly
Use bright, high-contrast colors
Add your blog URL or logo for branding
Best Tools: Canva, Adobe Express, or Figma
Every pin should encourage a user to click and visit your blog.
Sample Pin Title:
“Top 5 Safest Cars in India 2025 – Crash Test Ratings Inside!”
Pin Description Template:
“Looking for the safest cars in India in 2025? 🚗 This list includes crash test ratings, features, and expert reviews. Click to read the full blog post!”
Keywords to include: “safest cars India 2025”, “Bharat NCAP”, “car safety guide”
Rich Pins sync metadata from your blog post to your Pinterest pin. This makes your pins more informative and SEO-friendly.
Types for Bloggers:
Article Rich Pins (best for blog posts)
Recipe Rich Pins (for food bloggers)
Product Rich Pins (for affiliate marketers)
To enable:
Add meta tags to your blog
Validate your blog via Rich Pin Validator
Consistency is key on Pinterest. Don’t pin 50 times in one day and then go silent.
Best Practices:
Pin 5–10 times a day
Use a mix of your own and others' content
Schedule pins using tools like Tailwind
Group boards allow multiple contributors to pin content, giving you access to a larger audience.
How to Find Group Boards:
Use Pingroupie
Search "[Your Niche] + group board"
Connect with creators and request to join
Every pin should lead back to a relevant blog post—not your homepage.
Best Practices:
Use SEO-friendly URLs
Create pins for each blog post
Include a strong call-to-action (e.g., “Read Full Guide Here”)
Track which pins are bringing traffic using:
Pinterest Analytics
Google Analytics > Acquisition > Social > Pinterest
Focus more on:
Pins with higher click-through rates (CTR)
Content types (guides, reviews, lists) that perform better
Pinterest isn’t just a passive platform—it’s a powerful visual search engine that can bring thousands of visitors to your blog. By following the strategies above—keyword optimization, stunning pin design, consistent posting, and smart linking—you can turn Pinterest into your top blog traffic source in 2025.
