Set Up Rich Pins On Pinterest<\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve been noticing a lot more bloggers use Pinterest lately, and that\u2019s a beautiful thing! I revamped my profile recently (and set up rich pins), deleted a TON of boards and pins, hid a lot of boards, incorporated a lot of different people\u2019s pins on my boards, and saw my traffic soar from the Pinterest referral source.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to get an idea of how my Pinterest profile and boards are structured, check it out here.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said before, Pinterest can be an incredibly effective way to increase your blog readership quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Pinterest community is all about inspiration, learning, and action. Being active with useful resources and inspiring images helps your profile stand out, but your boards and pins won\u2019t be found and noticed unless you take some marketing steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of these steps is to make sure you\u2019re set up technically. Rich pins are one of those technical aspects that you should have activated on your profile. <\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Rich Pins?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rich pins show data in a formatted way in addition to your pin description and image. So, if you\u2019re pinning an article, the header information will be boldly displayed on top, and the author info (you) will be prominently shown underneath. You can see what rich pins look like\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set Up Rich Pins<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Step One<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re using WordPress, this is incredibly easy because Yoast SEO Plugin takes care of the meta tags you need to have on your site. I\u2019ve mentioned Yoast as an essential plugin that I use in a previous post<\/a>. It performs a LOT of functions, so if you\u2019re not using it yet, make sure to have it integrated on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have Yoast installed, head over to the \u201cSocial\u201d section. Since Facebook and Pinterest use the same OpenGraph metadata settings, you need to head to the Facebook tab and ensure you’ve enabled Open Graph metadata on top.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Set
Make sure Open Graph meta data is Enabled in Yoast SEO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step Two<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Pick ANY link on your site. It doesn\u2019t matter which one. Copy the URL and head over HERE<\/a>. This page is the Rich Pin Validator. Paste your link in and click Validate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once validated, click \u201cApply Now\u201d to submit your rich pin application. You\u2019re now ready to go! Your pins will convert\u00a0to rich pins in a few days, and you\u2019ll now have your own \u201cArticle\u201d type pin if you\u2019re pinning articles from your blog. You\u2019ll also now have your favicon display below your images.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Three: Celebration<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

We can now all participate in a celebratory happy dance and pin rich pins together! I regularly pin cool new resources from across the web to help your blogging business out and keep you inspired, so follow me along here. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to Pin with me and share blogging tips and advice, I have a group board HERE<\/a>. Would love to see your pins there. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
