Pinterest has become a great resource for referring traffic. As long as you use good imagery you can really build up your traffic.

I have used pinterest on my website and the result was great, it jumped from page 9 to #3 in around 2 weeks time.
The key is we must got our website pinned and repinned by many people, which is the hardest part. Most of pinterest users won't doing repin when they aren't like what we pinned.
I do simple thing to outsource it on fiverr and got my site pinned by 75 people, I don't know how can he did it just search by typing pinterest on fiverr and you will find it on the TOP. Many other seller offer pinterest service on fiverr but in my experience they can't make my website increase in SEO. I don't know why.
Reasons why pinterest is good for SEO:
1. You need to ping the links of your pins to the to get your website increase in SEO.
2. Even not support anchor text (except the url link), it's still perfect for placing our keywords in description. Google will read it!!
3. Once our website pinned it has 3 backlinks counts.

Fabulous infographic. I would like to thank repinners but that would be quite time intensive. I am open to hearing suggestions on how to do that, even if automated. Presently I am thanking by following back.
