Pinterest Allows Affiliate Links Again!

Hey Y'all,

It is time to get your piece of the Pinterest Pie.

Pinterest is once again an affiliate's best friend!

About a year and half after Pinterest but the brakes on affiliate links, it has now revised it's Acceptable Use Policy. allowing for posting of affiliate links. That is great news for us.

Pinterest banned affiliate links due to the massive amount of spam they were creating with broken links and redirects. They were hoping to improve the user experience.

Mike Mayzel part of the Pinterest communication team had this to say, “Last year we removed affiliate links from Pinterest because spammers were abusing them. Now that our spam detection system is much stronger and as a result we have better link quality, we believe it is the right time to reconsider our policy and allow affiliate links.”

“We think there is a benefit to content producers and publishers getting value from their audiences on Pinterest and as a result they will add more quality content into the service. With more content, Pinners will find more ideas and continue to have a great experience which will in turn deliver more value to partners.”

Affiliate Links Now Allowed On Pinterest!.

Once again affiliate marketers can take advantage of the great networking opportunities afforded us by participating in Pinterest. So sharpen those points and get to Pinning!

Happy Pinning! Until next time,
