Hi readers!
If you are a keen blogger, you should know how to create the best interest images for your blog, which is definitely a great way to enhance the blog's quality. Pinterest is one such application that will help you create top traffic for all your blogs. Isn't it pretty cool? This guide will help you get the perfect ideas for images and how to optimize them effectively.
Quick Note: Name all your Pinterest images for SEO.
If you really want your images to be searchable on google, bing and yahoo make sure to name them correctly so that they could be ranked according to the keywords, basically the work of SEO. Now, all set, let's look at the interesting stuff.
Three main points you need to note down before creating an image.
Once you create an image using the above-mentioned points, optimize it, which keeps your blog loading speedily. The two best applications to optimize your images is TinyPNG and JPEGmini. If you are using WordPress then they provide you with plugins that could be used, although never tried that.
How does Pinterest work with keywords is what I'll tell you, the first 140 characters are only searchable on Pinterest that is the search result description also termed meta description. Not going into technical details, make sure you use the right keywords which are understood by Google and Pinterest. This will make the search easier.
The most important thing is to enable rich pins.
Rich pins are very useful and allow you to know the extra data mentioned under the pins. Rich pins are for apps, movies, recipes, articles, blogs, products. Easy peasy way to enable rich pins is to have the Yoast SEO plugin installed (there may be more plugins you could use) You could click below on the link and type in your URL.
Avoid using images of large size, they make your page load slowly. Sometimes it is required but it unnecessarily takes up bandwidth and space.
Time to get it pinned:
The very important step is to make sure you pin your posts. Pin them on all the essential boards and of course your blog. If you are a part of any group board make sure you pin it there. Don't just pin your own images, but appreciate others too. Nobody really follows someone who just keeps sharing their own stuff.
