      Hashtags on Pinterest help your pins get seen by more people. I recommend using them in each of your pins, but if you use too many hashtags, people will struggle to read your pins’ descriptions.

    Great insights Marc! My bonus tip would be if you have a website that the image is hosted on, consider including a link to it within the post description. Especially if that picture contains awesome images like infographics! 🙂

    Pinterest is often frequently visited by Google crawlers, and as you know Google loves fresh content! Leaving a couple breadcumbs to lead the way back to your site is valuable, and it cites the source of the image!

    Your strategy definitely is a great one. Having the actual keywords in the description of the pinned image that relate to it will help users find your content above others more easily in searches.

    I absolutely agree. It amazes me how many people don’t bother to type a description for their pins.

    Great recipe for the perfect pin. I agree on all points and I think, if you want to have your pins found, that description, which so many people skip, is vitally important.

      I could not agree more. Descriptions allow the followers to get a backstory behind your picture or more information about where clicking that picture will take them.

      Thanks for coming by Brenda. I am glad you enjoyed reading the blog post.
