Currently, pinterest offer a space in your profile for a website to be added. Here we can add our subdomain, but we either need to verify it with a file upload or a meta tag. Here, I think the easiest way to verify it would be to add a meta tag in the header of the subdomain page. The meta tag would look like this:
So, I propose that we can edit the headers of our subdomain page or at least have a box that we can add a pinterest meta tag verification to. This way, Hubbers pinterest profiles will be complete and may drive extra traffic for them. It will definitely give them another backlink to their subdomain, which ultimately impacts the main Hubpages domain.
(Thanks to Matthew Meyer for directing me to this part of the forum!)
@crazyduck I have forwarded this to our engineering team to be considered as a future feature to develop.
Thanks for the suggestion!
We did some research and currently Pinterest does not support verification of individual author subdomains.
Well that's a shame. Oh well, I tried. Thanks for looking into it anyway!
I was honestly surprised that they don't support subdomains as that means wordpress.com and tumblr accounts have the same issue.
I used to link to my subdomain here on HP, however I switched it over to my blog and put in the meta tag info for Pinterest and they verified it. I make decent revenue off the blog, so it is all good.
I do use a Blogger blog, but it is not a subdomain. It is my own purchased domain. However Blogger does allow you to edit the meta tag information in the template, so I think a Blogger domain would be verified.
WTH???!!! They require verification, but do not support it??? What kind of double-speak BS is that?????
We need to actively campaign for this with Pinterest. This makes me mad. They are discriminating against true writers - us! Just because the body of our work reside with HP should not be a disadvantage, a road block, an obstacle.
We are writers, photographers, not marketers - HP is our marketing arm and a fantastic partner.
I cannot format my extensive hubs, I cannot promote my hubs in the manner that HP can, I need HP's help.
Pinterest, I love you but this is truly unfair to myself and fellow Hubbers.

Could we get an entry under Subdomain Verification for the Pinterest meta-tag?

Hey y'all!From time to time we hear concerns about newly-Featured Hubs not getting crawled for aaaaages, so we tried out a couple of different solutions (er- rather Paul Edmondson did; I can't take the credit) and finally found something that helps: increasing your subdomain's crawl rate through...

When I first signed up with GA I used hubpages.com Later I added my subdomain address. However, my account is set up with property name hubpages.com and default URL my subdomain. I believe this is incorrect. Thus Webmaster Tools are saying that my sites are not verified. What do I need to do?...

I went into Webmaster Tools this evening, and it is saying my site isn't verified. When I click to verify, it says the Google Analytics code is in the wrong location. My Google Analytics account is working.Am I the only one? If so, what can I do to fix this?Thanks!!
