Has anyone used Pinterest to promote your site?

Yep, I do, and it's been quite great for my cooking site. I have a more "general" site, too, and have seen little bits of traffic from it, but obviously with such a huge mommy blogger population there, a cooking site is going to be more fitting.

It seems like a lot more people are starting to join, though, and I've been seeing a lot of men there especially lately. It looks like everybody has hopped on the bandwagon as it's gotten bigger, so I think it's only a matter of time before we start seeing even more niches becoming insanely popular there.

Oh, and here's mine: https://pinterest.com/quirkyjessi/

 

I take time at least a few times a week to upload photos to photobucket, post them on my forum and the pin them to my site. Then when people repin them I try to repin something of theirs, like a few and comment. It's easy to do.

 

I see there is a plugin for xenforo, I'm going to try it out on GF one of these days.

 

Let us know how that goes. What I was thinking though - artists come on my community and sell art, what if I posted it on
Pinterest, with a link to my community in the description of the image, would that work?
