Pinterest is a picture driven social networking community. People online are immediately engaged to streaming video and pictures. Have you ever noticed your website traffic increase when you include a link in your YouTube video description back to a specific page on your blog or website? It''s because the human eye wants to see video and photos, while immediately enticed to give in to the temptation of following a link to know more about what's on your site. The same rule applies to uploading photos and including a link back to your site on your Pinterest profile.

User Generated Content
Want to know the reason why Pinterest will always be successful? They don't create any of their content. It''s a user generated content social networking community as previously mentioned. They'll always be successful because of the energy of others pinning to their pin boards.
Drewry News Network predicts Pinterest will become a triple threat to Twitter.com, Facebook.com and other social networks, due to creative features on Pinterest.com that quietly inspire encourage people to use the site more. For example, every time a user uploads a photo as a new pin, people have the option of clicking the like button on every new pin posted to their account. Search engines quietly take notice of this and potentially ranks a site higher in search engine results pages.
Another reason why Pinterest will always be successful is because they receive user generated content from across the world 24 hours a day. Like Facebook, Pinterest allows you to auto post your newly uploaded pins using their proprietary technology to your twitter account. When you auto share your newly uploaded pins to twitter, you're actually inviting your Twitter followers to be nosy in what you're pinning to your pinboards, which can potentially increase online sales and affiliate commissions, if you have advertisements on your blog or website from affiliated merchants. Additionally, using generated content will increase on Pinterest in years ahead which may potentially put themselves ahead of Facebook.com and Twitter.com.
'SEO Benefits'
One thing people and businesses of all sizes are not doing when uploading new pins to their Pinterest accounts is taking the time to write a unique description for their pins. As a result, search engines allegedly label people who automatically pin without writing a unique description as "duplicate content." The reason? Every time you upload a new pin with a description to your Pinterest account, search engine crawlers who scour the web 24 hours a day looking for new and fresh content make quiet comparisons and cross check the entire web to see if that content has been published anywhere else. And if so, while pins that don't have unique descriptions may potentially be indexed by search engines, it will possibly be ranked lower in search engine results pages in Bing.com, Google.com, and YaHoO.com. You may not understand all of this lingo for now. You'll understand in due time from experience in online marketing.

- Upload an interesting meme, infographic, photo or video that is deemed attractive to the eye
- Take time to write a unique description by way of typing on your computer keyboard or using a speech recognition program to type your description without physically typing on your keyboard. Voice recognition programs help unique content creators put out content faster versus traditionally typing on the keyboard.
- Use relevant hashtags in every new Pinterest pin. By using hash tags, you help yourself not only get ranked higher on Pinterest, but it also gets indexed by search engines which can potentially give you the upper hand in possibly getting a better position in search engine results pages in Bing, Dogpile, Google and YaHoO!
- Don't forget to include a link back to specific blog pages or web pages to your site when uploading new pins to your account. When doing so, search engine spiders will notice this and potentially rank your newly uploaded Pinterest pins higher in search engines for specific search terms.
- Don't pin the same content on your blog post or webpage to your pin board. You will quietly get duped for duplicate content by search engines.
- Pin everyday. Not only will search engines reward you, but people will repin your pins everyday without asking them to.
