Pinterest for business – see how much traffic your page gets


If you have a website and think that Pinterest can help your business, you can now have a business account and analyze the traffic to your page.  The information below is what I got from an email they sent me.  You have to embed a code in your home page to make this work.  It’s pretty easy, good luck!

Pinterest for business

Today we’re excited to announce Pinterest Web Analytics. Now you can see how many people have pinned content from your site, what content is most popular with pinners, and more.

To get started:

1. Get early access to Pinterest’s new look.

2. Make sure you have a verified website. If you have a website listed on your profile with a check mark next to it, you’re verified. If not, follow these steps to verify.

3. Once your website is verified, go to the top right menu and click on Analytics.

4. Start exploring! Select time frames to analyze, see where pins are being posted, and more. Check out everything you can do in this video tour.

Today’s announcement builds on the set of tools we’re providing for website owners including business accounts, Pin It buttons, and our revampedbusiness site, and we’re looking forward to providing even more helpful stuff in the future.

Happy analyzing!

Photoshop Elements 11 has some adjustment layer features.  Not as powerful as Photoshop, it can still be a time saver if you need to touch up a batch of photos.  This is especially useful with older photos that need color correction.  This video will show you how.
