Pinterest provides valuable analytics about website visitors including what they saved and their interests. It drives significant traffic, with 5% coming from Pinterest alone, and leads to higher click through rates, more products sold, and more website visits. Pinning from a website gives it a high quality backlink that boosts search engine rankings. Pinterest has over 150 million active users, most of whom are millennials, and it is an effective platform for DIY projects, entertainment, crafts, shopping, recipes, and making money online.
