When I published post one of my Pinterest optimization series last year, it got a LOT of interest! So many of my readers were interested in an easier way to add hidden Pinterest images to their WordPress blog posts, but not everyone was comfortable implementing the ACF + PHP solution I presented in that tutorial. Enter EBB Pinterest and this quick-start guide. Following the steps I outlined in this post on the Easier Business Blogging blog, you can easily add hidden Pinterest images to your posts, no matter your level of comfort with techy concepts! š
If youāve been around the strategic blogging world for long, you know how vital Pinterest can be to the success of a blog. In fact, as far as āsocial networksā goāsocial networks is in quotes here because I donāt really consider Pinterest a social networkāPinterest is arguably the single most important one to be sharing your blog content on.
This visual search engine has the potential to drive some serious traffic to your blogā¦if you take the time to optimize your posts to utilize it best.
One easy way to get more eyes on your pinned blog posts? Use a vertical (tall) image when you pin your post!
Because of the way Pinterest lays out their content, vertical pins tend to get the most traction. That tractionāthe views, clicks, and repinsāis what has the potential to explode your traffic, so we want to optimize for it in as many ways as possible.
It isnāt necessarily as simple as slapping a vertical image in your post and calling it good, though. Tall images look awkward when left as-is in a blog post and make it more difficult for readers to consume your content, which is never a good thing.
The solution a lot of bloggers employ for the vertical image problem is adding the image into their post, then manually hiding it with a little bit of HTML. So tedious! There really isnāt a better solutionā¦until now, that is.
Now, however, thereās an easier, more automated way to add a hidden Pinterest image to your blog posts.
