So do you think pinning is vital for bloggers?
Niche blogging is huge. In fact, it’s a super-niche! Bloggers rely heavily on generating traffic for content. Then monetize that traffic with services, products, or both. Organic search traffic is their main source of traffic, if they are not aware of how powerful social media can be.
Most bloggers have a basic understanding of how SEO works. On page, off page and the importance of back links. With new Google updates like Panda and Hummingbird; What was taught in the SEO world just 1 year ago is completely outdated.
Let me tell you my story. Before the latest Google update, I was losing 90% of all my traffic. Which mainly came from Google search. As my traffic disappeared, my revenue immediately dropped!
My income has decreased because I depend on traffic like any other business. Once this traffic is monetized, I use little known psychology to convert my traffic into leads or potential customers.
Next, I have a series of automated sales. So, due to the disappearance of traffic, I had to adapt. So I started marketing my business on “Pinterest” and other social bookmark networks to serve as a top-level site. I will explain more about the levels later to create Google safe back links without penalty marks.
For now I want you to understand that in Google’s eyes Pinterest is golden. Do you want my formula for instant search engine ranking?
