Why is it that when I happen to open Pinterest, intending to be in there for only a minute or two, there are oodles of delish recipes I can't not save? Huh? When I have time to screw around on Pinterest, there's not much of interest to save. Hmmmmm.
lol, and you just keep clicking through. It's quite addictive!
Haha! I don't have an answer for that question exactly, but wanted to share that I know exactly what you are talking about! My experience has been the same. I don't go there much anymore, because I get sucked in, and usually don't have the time to hang out. If I did, then there may not be much to see anyway, lol. (As you suggested....)
I know what you mean. I read someone recommend that you go to the site for five minutes a day or something like that. I can't go to the site for five minutes. I tend to spend quite a lot of time there every time I go. There is so much inspiration!
It is rare for me to have times when nothing is inspiring. Maybe you don't follow enough boards?
If there were a jail for Pinterest use offenders (the 5 min limit), they'd lock me up and throw away the key. I keep saying I'll make this and I'll make that, but well, it never happens.

I had originally signed up for Bubblews for link building to my Hubs. I only created backlinks on Bubbles by creating a small synopsis of my HubPage article and then adding a link back to my HubPage. After only a couple of weeks I am seeing Google rank my position much high than my full HubPage...

How is Pinterest a help to you?Not here on Hubpages but as a aid in life somehow. Do you find home ideas? Art ideas? What keeps you glued to the wonderful world of Pinterest?

If we pump up our use of social media, i.e., marketing our articles more, will it help increase our traffic much? Or won't it make much difference because we are more dependent upon organic traffic? Something tells me we might have to wait out this drought. What say you?
