Have you joined the Pinterest craze?
It seems everywhere you look somebody new is talking about Pinterest, and there is good reason why. Not only was Pinterest named one of the Top 50 Websites by Time Magazine, but in a recent study done by Shareaholic, Pinterest beat out well known social sharing sites, like YouTube, Google+, LinkedIn and MySpace for percentage of total referral traffic in January 2012. In fact, in a study done by Experian, Pinterest now ranks as one of the top ten social networking sites on the web.
Not only is Pinterest getting rave reviews from major tech players and social media gurus, but small business owners, mom bloggers and even job seekers have been able to cash in on this new social media craze.

Thanks MariLee – you’re so sweet! Glad you enjoyed the list!
You have the most comprehensive informative site I have come across in a long time! Well done! There is so much I need to look at and more I want to ask you. I am using Pinterest, Google+, Facebook and Twitter with a little LinkedIn thrown in as my SN’s for my business. Engagement is great on twitter and pinterest but poor elsewhere. I can’t see where I am going wrong on my site either? Lots of postive feedback but still high bounce rate? What am I missing? Need more photos yes! but other areas?

Another aspect that favors pinterest from other social site is because of images. Ideally, people would rather look and click on images than read written content. If you ask me Pinterest is the next big thing on the web. Watch this space

Business blogs and personal blogs generally exist for one reason: generating income. Keeping this concept in mind, it is not difficult to write for a business blog. Just be sure to follow these steps and you will be on your way to making money, too. Determine if you need to mention the name of the web site or specific products in the article.
