Employing Pinterest for SEO gain.
-
Hi I wanted to see if the SEO team have had any feedback from members who have started to use Pinterest. I've had it for a month or so now and I've been adding pins every day since - (quite addictive actually).
What is interesting is the gender element to the people who are following and repinning my pins and boards i.e. female. It would be interesting to understand why this the case, why is it so popular with female users.
Ultimately I'm tyring to guage the benefits of employing Pinterest for SEO purposes and whether its worth keeping it in my arsenal of social tools.
Any insights welcome.

Many thanks Chanan much appreciated. I've had a look myself to see how my boards are ranking for keywords and phrases and currently they are not ranking in Google images. However I am ranking 10th for a specifc phrase and the phrase needs to reflect the name of the board. Which is fine and I am now changing the board name to reflect a better keyword phrase and see how this develops over the coming weeks.
So in summary Pinterest is showing promise I think as a tool to employ in your SEO arsenal.

One of the companies I am helping is in the DIY wedding industry. I am finding that some of my boards are ranking in the top 5 for their highly searched specific key term. I would recommend making specific boards with your keywords and add to them daily. The only issue that I am having is that i am unable/unsure how to control the description of my ranking boards, since I have multiple items pinned within it.

Best regards

I would be interested to see how it works for you in the ecommerce field. My marketing company primarily runs ecommerce sites so getting backlinks can be trickier if they were, say, information resource sites. We have active forum communities on most of our sites so we need to use the community side to grow the sites I feel.

In regards to SEO, i have not seen any type of ranking increases or benefits. In regards to sales, yes I have.
I have a client who sells dog collars and she started using pinterest to post pics of new collars, community images (of dogs wearing her collars) and just random images she is interested in.
We have seen a 30% ++ increase in revenue due to pinterest. Most probably because the majority of her clients are female.
I just picked up a lingerie store (ecommerce) and will do my best to remember and come back here with some data or results.

Facebook and SEO
Hello, recently we've noticed my companies Facebook page (www.facebook.com/dishcostsless) is not being crawled by Google. When you type in DISH Costs Less Facebook it does not show up, even when you type in the exact URL there are no search results. We used screaming frog to check out the back end of the page and there are no meta tags like there are on most FB pages. Also we noticed there were two re-directs; one from the http page to the https page, and the other directed the https page to the http page creating one giant cycle. We think this has something to do with the problem but not sure. Is there anyone who has had a similar issue, and how did you fix it? We'd love to be assured that the search engines are tracking our interactions on Facebook for SEO purposes.

Does Twitter and Facebook feeds help SEO
For a new site, I want to feed in Twitter updates and Facebook posts onto the page. I regularly update these feeds. I'm using PHP to directly integrate with the two sites API and grab the data. Is this a good idea? Will it help SEO as its fresh content? Is it a good or bad idea to have a social media feed page on the site that grabs content from these sites?

Are there any proven SEO benefits of presence and popularity on Facebook, just as there is supposedly benefit from Google+?
How much does visibility on Facebook (or for that matter, Twitter) impact search engine results? I did see a post recently on SEOMoz recently related to that--- but do others have similar experience/ have data to show strong correlation between FB shares/ Likes and search engine results (on Google)? The second, FB-related question is: what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of Facebook for a B2B audience, particularly in a rather niche sector - let's say industrial products? Look forward to your views and answers! Thanks.
