PINTEREST?!!!!!! What is up?! Help, please
-
I've read, over and over that Pinterest creates no follow links and so is good for virality, traffic and social media but does NOT help with SEO. Is this true? I had an "SEO" tell me recently that this does actually create backlinks. I don't believe them...
-
Pinterest links all appear to be marked "no follow", so unless there are followed links buried deeper in the site that I'm missing, the SEO is correct.
As David said, Pinterest isn't a link building tool, it's about traffic and eyeballs - even if they were followed, I'd question the value of it beyond getting one or two links - but, in any case, they're not.

Dont use pinterest for link building use it to get traffic and eyeballs like you use facebook or twitter

Links from Pinterest are followed, so they may have SEO benefit. However, the fact that they are so easy to create suggests that Google would not want to give them the same credit as an earned link.
I don't think that should influence your decision about whether or not to use Pinterest. It probably depends on your business. I know somebody that sells quirky stationery online and finds that Pinterest generates a lot of sales. My sector is travel and - although travel images are popular on Pinterest - traffic generated tends to be minimal. Give it a whirl and see how it works for you.

Employing Pinterest for SEO gain.
Hi I wanted to see if the SEO team have had any feedback from members who have started to use Pinterest. I've had it for a month or so now and I've been adding pins every day since - (quite addictive actually). What is interesting is the gender element to the people who are following and repinning my pins and boards i.e. female. It would be interesting to understand why this the case, why is it so popular with female users. Ultimately I'm tyring to guage the benefits of employing Pinterest for SEO purposes and whether its worth keeping it in my arsenal of social tools. Any insights welcome. http://pinterest.com/visualizations Best David
