Very interesting. My first thought(as an IG guy) was to use this onto a landing page directing towards my IG brand.

Good Idea I like it, you can also use the landing page for your blog if you have one ?

Yeah not at the moment but that seems like a great idea. I mean the numbers are kinda crazy so I definitely need to try this out

Sounds interesting, thanks for the share. Just decided to check out Shutterstock, and don’t see a contributor ID anywhere, any idea where it’s supposed to be? In the html? The URL?

Just go to the shutterstock profile of your choice click view page source and then after this tab opens up you can find the id at OG:Image section I highlighted it at the photo below

Thanks, got it working. Although with shutterstock it’s pulling low-res watermarked images from the feed.

Have to look into it and see if the higher res ones are available, though watermarks will probably always be there.

Hey great share! Question:
Do you have also the watermark from shutterstock on your pins?
Or is it not interesting for the pinterest user?
In the title appears “stock photo:”, is there a way to remove it?

Nice share, I was thinking Pinterest will ban your account if you post the same landing link on all the pics, specially if you post a lot of pics per month.

Hi,
I’m new here trying to learn too.

I think, ban can be avoided with multiple domain pointing on the landing.

OP, thank you for step by step method.

great share, thanks for this

great share man. however this link is truncated, any chance you could put the full link? This one leads to what seems to be an error page: [https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne… ]

I believe that’s his own unique API token for flickr. You can request one easily.

oh thanks buddy makes sense

@argzonnin How many Pinterest accounts are you using to generate that traffic?
