Strategies for Navigating the Changes on Pinterest

There have been some changes recently to Pinterest’s feed and on Pinterest mobile. While many bloggers are worried about the new algorithm and the changes on Pinterest mobile, in the below video I am sharing some positive things that I see in these feed adjustments and some strategies you can use to increase engagement on your pins. I am also sharing tips for reinvigorating your personal boards if you have neglected them in favor of group boards in the past.

Strategies Bloggers can use to deal with the Changes on Pinterest.  Tips for increasing engagement on pins and reviving your personal boards.

At the bottom of this post are two screen shares. The first one walks you through how to find top performing boards using Tailwind and the second one walks you through how to loop a board using the looping feature on BoardBooster.

How to Find Pins with High Click-Through Rate in Pinterest Analytics:

To find your pins that people are clicking on the most, go to Pinterest Analytics .

To the right of “Your Pinterest Profile”, click “More”, then click on “Clicks”. You will see your top 5 most clicked on pins. If you click the “show more” button you will see many other top performing pins.

If you don’t have very many pins that lead back to your posts in your top clicked pins, then hover over the “Analytics” button in the top left corner, scroll down and click on “Website”, then click on “Clicks”. You will see the top 5 most clicked on pins from other pinners. If you click the “show more” button you will see many other top performing pins from your website.

Choose a few of these top performing pins, to manually repin to your top performing boards a couple times a day.

How to Find Top Performing Boards Using Tailwind:

While many bloggers use Tailwind to schedule pins, it has other great tools including Board Insights. In the below screen share, I walk you through the process of using this feature to analyze board performance. If you don’t have a Tailwind account, you can try it for free here (referral link).

How to Set Up Looping on BoardBooster:

The looping function on BoardBooster allows you to repin older pins from a Pinterest board back to the top of the same board. Looping Boards is a great way to reinvigorate dead boards. I use it for boards that I don’t pin to very frequently or to get a seasonal board moving again after neglecting it for most of the year. If you do not have a BoardBooster account, you can try it for free here (referral link).
