Call me nosy, curious, or just plain vain... but I really enjoy checking out what's being pinned from my blog!
Its exciting to see what is popular, what people like and what people are saying about the things on my site.
Plus, since the invention of Pinterest it seems Ive gotten a lot more traffic, but a lot less comments!
Its bitter sweet.
But when I check out the pins from my site its like I get to see the comments that could/should have been on my posts.

So I check myself out on pinterest daily!
Here is what is most popular right now: My DIY Angel Wings.
If you click on the actual post, you will see it only has 7 comments.
But my stats show it has been viewed over 290 times (since I posted it last week).
And you can see it has been pinned (and repinned) well over 20 times.
Like I said.. its bitter sweet.
I may not get as many comments, but Im getting a ton more views and at least this way..
I know what people are saying and thinking about my projects. :)
I asked on my facebook page if YOU checked yourself out on pinterest.
A couple of you asked how you even do that!
So I thought I would share real quick how you can check yourself out too, in case you were wondering.
Its very simple all you gotta do it use this URL:
http://pinterest.com/source/YOURSITEHERE.com/
Beware... it can get "addicting" to check yourself out. haha :)
Much Love & Hugs,
I do check it- but only when it shows up in my traffic sources. I mostly get recipes that I post pinned.
ReplyDeleteI used to only check it for those reasons too, but when I discovered how to see everything people pinned from my site, I just became hooked! lol
DeleteHahaha I found a few, but they were all things that I had pinned myself lol. Oh well. some day I'll be Pinterest cool :p
ReplyDeletehaha yeah it takes some time. My mommy blog is sort of like that. There are a few others have pinned but mostly ones I have pinned. Its still small though, under 100 followers!
DeleteLOL! I did the same thing yesterday and thought...if it has so many pins, then why so few comments?? haha...I hope I don't become too addicted to checking out "see more from....."

yeah seriously! At least this way you get to see that people do like it, and what they are saying about it. I love that.
DeleteNot the best idea, I must say. Someone mocked the fact that I used a tin can for a vase on my chandelier centerpiece -- and the color choice. Her joke was "Campbell's anyone?" I commented on her pin, "Actually, it was a can of whole tomatoes." Obnoxious, I know, but she started it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thats just plain rude! Ive had to see a couple pins from my site with not so nice comments as well. One was a printable someone pinned and said "Cant read this" its like then why did you pin it? Just to be funny or mean!?
DeleteAnd another person pinned one of my toe nail tutorials. Saying it was cute but couldnt I have cleaned up the nail polish left on the skin before taking a photo!?
haha I just laughed... I never clean up the paint on the skin cause it just washes away in the shower... but it made me think.. well I probably would have looked better in the photography. But oh well I was lazy that day and in a hurry... so Oh well.
The funny thing about THAT though is that you get to see who is actually making the comment, and you can chose to face them if you want. Its a lot better than them posting rude comments under the guise of "ANONYMOUS"! :)
So far though, the good comments have way out weighed the bad.
I hadn't til now lol I had a few that pinned a dog bed made from an end table :) Thanks for showing me how! I'm sure i'll become addicted now lol :)

Well thank you, I am so glad you like my site! :) I am sometimes terrible at commenting too. I know that it is easier to pin and click away. Im guilty of this too. But it really is nice to see and get all the comments on posts.
DeleteThat is funny you brought that up cause I was just thinking about that this morning, as I was pinning something, among other things. I couldn't get that link to work for me so I could, you know, check myself out, haha.......I will keep trying though!! I'm fairly new to your blog and LOVE your AMAZING ideas :)
ReplyDeleteThese are the links that should show you whats been pinned from you site:
Deletehttp://pinterest.com/source/karskitsandyardsales.blogspot.com/
and
http://pinterest.com/source/jesssgirl.blogspot.com/
I check them out and didnt see anything either! :( So maybe nothing has been pinned from your site?
Try pinning something yourself from your site and see if anything shows up!?
Oh never mind.. I just checked again and You do have a few pins from both of your sites! :) Not sure why it didnt work before!
DeleteI would love to do that too. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI never even thought of this! What a smart thing to keep track of :) Pinterest has created so many addictions :)
ReplyDeleteGood to know! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I am not the only one! I don't do the pinning thing myself because I feel like I would spend way too much time doing it! But I do check daily..sometimes a few times a day, to see what has been pinned from my blog. Sometimes I wonder why something doesn't get pinned-LOL. But it is a good way to tell how interested people are in things you post and your most popular images. I don't know how to tell how many views something has--I'll have to check that out!
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of that - how fun ! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! I fear it will be my new addiction as well... Although I will say I am disapointed to see that some of the people who have repinned my things took credit for it in the text box. At least it gets linked back to my blog thanks to that pin it button! Stopping by from show and tell saturday.
ReplyDeleteOh my! This is a new hobby ;)... I'm excited now - I feel my little blog is much more important. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteThanks lots for sharing this! I just found it as someone had pinned your post ;)
ReplyDeleteUseful how-to, so thanks. And I was surprised as a couple of things from my blog have been pinned!
