As we have mentioned before, Pinterest is a great way to gain traffic to your blog through pinning posts and social networking. You're also able to list your website on your profile page which is great to gain even more traffic. But instead of having your site represented by a cute little globe icon, you can actually get your website/blog verified which will show your whole url with a cool little check mark next to it.
Verifying your website can be beneficial for a good amount of reasons, but the most important of them all is it provides a reliable backlink through Pinterest themselves for your blog. You can verify your blog in about 5 minutes or less. Here we will show you the steps to get your blog verified.
Note: We will be showing you how to verify on Pinterest with Blogger only
Step One:
Head on over to your Pinterest Account Settings
Step Two:
Scroll down and find the website field. Enter your website and click 'Verify Website'
Step Three:
You will be directed to the website verification page. Scroll down to find the instructions section and be sure to click on 'Verify with a meta tag'
 |
| Underlined under the instructions box
Step Four:
A HMTL meta tag will pop up. You will need to copy this code. Once you copy the code, head on over to Blogger and in your Blogger menu click on Template then Edit Template. {Keep the Pinterest Verify Website page open}
Step Five:
Go to your browser's navigation bar and click on Edit - Find - Find and a little bar will pop up with a search window. Search for <head>.

Step Six:
Just under <head> you're going to paste the HTML meta code and click Save Template.
Step Seven:
Head back over to Pinterest's Verify Website page and click 'click here to complete process' and a status should show up saying 'We successfully verified your website! Go to your profile.' That means it all worked!
Step Eight:
Head back to your profile and check it out. Cool little check mark next to your full URL!

OMG.... Thank you so much!!! I couldn't figure this out by myself for the life of me.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Working in social media and blogger engagement, a huge part of my job is finding relevant publishers so I have an endless resource of content to pin. There has been a lot of news recently about how useful Pinterest can be to marketers and brands, if it’s used in the right way. An essential point to remember for businesses is that Pinterest is not about self-promotion and blatant marketing; a more subtle approach is preferable.
