Discussion: Pinterest and Blogging

I joined Pinterest just a few months ago in part because I noticed how many referrals I was getting from it.  (Not an insane amount, but a couple every day do add up over time.)  So I started creating various boards of varying levels of relevance to my blog and waited.  I was pleasantly surprised when my referrals from Pinterest went up, particularly from the cover images of books I reviewed that I later pinned.

So what I want to know now is this: If you’re a blogger and/or author, do you use Pinterest?  Has it driven any traffic to your blog?  Why or why not?

I’m on Pinterest Now!

At the advice of a friend who was attempting to do my ridiculously unmanageable hair I created an account on Pinterest and tried to find hairstyles that might work.  After that I went on a girly binge so now my boards are filled with dresses, hairstyles and jewelry I’m drooling over.

But more relevant to this blog, I have a special board of favourite sayings (mostly book and Game of Thrones related) and a special board of my all-time favourite books I’ve reviewed here on The Mad Reviewer.  If you’d like to follow me on Pinterest, click on this link.  And if you do follow me, I’m definitely following back any of my fellow book-lovers, if only to see how this crazy thing is supposed to work.
