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?

“The Spread of Kidness” and More Weird Search Terms

Last time I did a post like this, it was called “Why do people hate naked men?” and Other Weird Search Terms.  This time, the naked people are back for round two!  But apparently no one hates naked men this time.

Here are some of the weirdest search terms I’ve had lately:

weird naked girls

And, finally, the crowning glory:

By posting about these weird search terms I’m definitely just adding fuel to the fire, I know.  But even before I posted articles about weird search terms I got some seriously disturbing ones.  (Just check out the first article!)  At least none of these search terms are about sexual assault this time around.
