How to Get Our Pinterest Board or Pin Index by Google in Ultra Fast

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:39:00 +0000

How to Get Our Pinterest Board or Pin Index by Google in Ultra Fast? I'm asking this question as I find it very difficult to get an answer just by searching the internet. In fact I could not find one that cover this issue.

I have created many boards and pin using Pinterest. But somehow I found out that the boards or pin created are not indexed by Google..yet. But the problems is, it has been a few months since I created it.

There must be a faster way or techniques for our Pinterest board and pin to get indexed. Or it is just mine that getting extra hard to get indexed by google.

What I have tried to get it indexed by Google:

1. Back link my board using article and link directory.
2. Stumbleupon.
3. Pingomatic

Note: Some of my board got indexed by Google but many don't, using the above method.

Do share your experiences if you have successfully make your pinterest and pin get indexed by Google faster.

I will update this post once the better solutions or tips found.

Content Outsourcing

I tried a site called www.iwriter.com for hiring writer to write contents. Based from my first completed project, I find the site easy to navigate and the quality of the article produced is quite good. And the turnaround is quite fast too.
The best thing I like about the site is the ability for us to reject the written content if we are not satisfy with the result. And a new content will be written until we really satisfy and approved the article.
So, you may just want to check out if you need new article for your site and do not have much time to write on your own.

Monetized My United Kingdom, Canada & Germany Traffics

Every month my Site A is getting quite significant amount of traffic from non-USA users. The distribution of traffic per top country in April 2012 is per diagram below.

To monetized this traffic I'm using Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer Plugin. Basically this plugin will automatically changes any Amazon link on your site to use your affiliate ID, but it also changes the link to point to the user's local Amazon store.

As for me it works great. It is certainly not a perfect plugin but for a free plugin it is worth to use it. I have been using this plugin since holiday season last year (2011). The non-USA traffic that I am getting every months, is not very high in volume but at least it will not be wasted as I am able to monetized it.

Out of the three country, UK is performing better in terms of earnings. For Canada traffic, the earnings rate is rather poor for my site eventhough the traffic is better than UK traffic.

I wrote about my experiment at my usfreeads.com account last month, where I said I posted more than 1,000 ads. But the results for December is not very encouraging as the ads are not getting good ranking from Google. I decided to stop posting random amazon product ads in my usfreeads.com account but instead just concentrate mainly to selected keywords only.

I may try to promote amazon product using facebook notes though. The method is said to works based from some amazon associates experience. Click here to read their comments on promoting amazon products using facebook notes. However this model may only work for only a short period of time.

The traffic increased about 3 times than my normal month. The most high volume traffic was recorded from 24/12/2011 - 28/12/2011 .

My main site that I called Site A are getting increasing traffic due to holiday shopping in this month of November. As per last month , this site is still not getting much traffic from Google (organic search). However I do see that some of my keywords are climbing in Google page (within page 2 -10). However its maintained to have a significant traffic from Yahoo , Bing and squidoo.

I did some experiments at my usfreeads.com account. Since early this year I posting more Amazon product ads to my account using my standard template. I believe I have more than 1,000 ads posted. I hope to get good result for this November, but it certainly not materialised. But I'm hoping to get a better result in December. This method is one boring exercise to do actually. I select a product from Amazon, build the ads and finally post the ads to usfreeads.com . When I checked back how much I earned using this method (I track using Tracking ID) until this November, I earned a total of US$796.53 , well not bad at all.

I'm also getting traffic to my Site A from usfreeads.com. For November, I got a total of 274 visits from usfreeads.com (as per diagram below). Not much but I believe it certainly helps.

As for now, I got most of my traffic from redgage.com (more than 80%). But this scenario is not good for a long term as I over dependent. There are maintenance performed by Redgage team for a few hours on 24th and 25th Nov , and I must say my total traffic in November suffered a little bit from it.

I'm currently building a new site, I will call this site, Site B. I'm looking to increase my average monthly earning from US$500+ to hopefully US$800+. I'm very much hoping that this new site will help me achieving my targeted earning. I will try to make this new site profitable within the next 6 months.
