Pinterest and cloud hosting
-
Hi
We have our images hosted on amazon cloud to speed up the site but we are having problems with pinning our images on pinterest. We can only pin them from the cloud host url which looks really bad and also doesnot send any traffic to our site.
Any suggestions?

You could consider using a different CDN set up. You could use something like MaxCDN and host them locally and in the cloud. That way you would have direct access to the images on your server as well for pinning and other social media purposes.

Does Pinterest's javascript removes rel="nofollow" ?
It's late and I might be seeing things disappear...but I noticed something strange with a Pin It button we added in our website: I added a rel="nofollow" to the <a href="">for Pinterest, however when I use the html inspector in IE or Firefox, and inspect the attributes of the link, 'rel=nofollow' is nowhere to be found.</a> <a href="">Did anyone notice this?

Does Pinterest's javascript remove the 'rel' attribute? (looks like it's the case)
How does google treats this? Do they interpret the .js and ignore the 'rel=nofollow'? I hope it's a technical error on my end, otherwise thousands of website owners are being tricked into believing that they added a rel=nofollow, when in fact it's just being removed behind the scene.</a>0 -
Is Pinterest's Embed a Pin good for SEO?
I was curious if by having Pinterest embed pins on my site will add SEO value... This would be used mainly on product pages for alternative images, closeup detail, any type of image to answer a customers question. I would accompany the pin with more text as another way of adding content to the page. Example on my site: Wicker Sofa product page with Pinterest Embed live. Also attached the screenshot of the code that is used by Pinterest pin embed widget. Hoping that extra unique content + social activity repins or follows, would help my store's SEO. Thank you for your answers in advance... 3uqUz57.png

What advantages does Wisita (video hosting) give over using YouTube?
I am currently undertaking a review of how we use video on our website and I am wondering what advantages Wistia provides over using YouTube? My current stance is that we would use Wisita for our high-production value videos, and YouTube for videos embedded within our content pages so we can make use of the playlist functionality. If anyone can provide insight into this, I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance, Chris

PINTEREST?!!!!!! What is up?! Help, please
I've read, over and over that Pinterest creates no follow links and so is good for virality, traffic and social media but does NOT help with SEO. Is this true? I had an "SEO" tell me recently that this does actually create backlinks. I don't believe them...

Is there any SEO benefit to hosting your Facebook photos on your own site?
I will often post photos that I have taken to my Facebook page (either personal or my fan page). Sometimes these can get lots of likes. I got thinking that perhaps I host these photos on my site (i.e. www.example.com/images/photo1.jpg) and then share that "page" on Facebook. That way any of the likes would be counted towards my site. What do you guys think?

How do I get searchable image hosting in the cloud?
My company currently uses Picasa to host our images and links to them on our website. However, we'd really love to have our images start showing up in searches. Is there a way to get maintain our Picasa (or use another, similar site) and get the images searched by webcrawlers to say we are the source? Or do we simply need to start hosting all of the images on our own servers? Thanks!
