    Pinterest Increased My Blog Hits From 8/day to Over 200!

    By brittanyzh  |  Posted February 14, 2012  |  Whitmore Lake, Michigan
     

    Back in November I made a couple of terrariums based on projects and images I found on Pinterest. Using fishbowl bookends that were sitting empty for months, I created a post with step-by-step instructions on my blog, Clean Slate. Then on January 9th I notice my Google analytics was spiking unusually high. And by high I mean, I normally have 8-10 hits a day and I got over 3,000!!!

     

    Since then it's been pretty steady around 200-300 hits a day, nearly all from Pinterest! Overall, I've increased the traffic to my blog 2000%!

     

    I guess I better come up with a few more DIY projects to post...

     

    See attached images for the trio of inspiration images, my supplies photo and finished project. Happy Pinning!
