Proper placement of keywords

You can generate more traffic for your blog and/or Pinterest with the use of a keyword bank.

However, focusing purely on Pinterest (by using images), the proper placement of keywords for Pinterest SEO is a process of putting keywords in:

The description on Pinterest (156 or 500 characters)
The title of the Pinterest Pin (xx characters)
The image on the website (with Alt + Text)

The first item is highlighted for a specific reason. Up to now, it was conceivable that the description input into an image on the website was carried over into the description on Pinterest. Let me assure you that’s not necessarily the case as I’ll illustrate with the use of a before and after pin.

For some odd reason, the description entered into an image is not automatically being updated in Pinterest and doesn’t make the description work in your favor for a powerful Pinterest SEO.

It comes down to that Pinterest and the website are not interrelated. Although Pinterest is a smart program and has a lot of artificial intelligence working behind the scenes. For the best Pinterest SEO you need to ensure that you take one extra step on your Pinterest pins.

Don’t pin your newly created pins from the website. You’re cutting yourself short. Especially for the pins where you want to bring the most traffic to your blog. As eluded to earlier, one of the most important elements of boosting your Pinterest SEO is by using the description of your pin.

Creating a pin in Pinterest

Here’s the template for when you create a pin in Pinterest:

Select your file from the drag and drop or click to upload button with an up arrow.
Don’t save it from the site because then your destination link might not work (save that for a latter step).
After the file is uploaded, add your title (you have 80 characters and the first 40 characters will be in the feed, the remainder people need to select see more).
You have up to and not exceeding 500 characters for the description. If you go to far you’ll be prompted and you’ll have to make some minor revisions to your description.
Add the destination link of your pin (preferably to your blog).
Lastly, select which board you want to save the pin and then if it’s all done, press the Save button.

Creating a board in Pinterest

To create a Pinterest board, it’s basically the same step as above; however, in the drop-down box in the upper right-hand corner in Step 6, there will be a slight change.

Instead of placing the pin into an existing board, where it says: “Name your new board here <<“ is where you’d type in the new name of your board, ensure all of the other steps 1 – 5 are done, and then click on Create board (the + Create board) at the bottom as depicted in the picture.
