Hi all, Im a newbie and trying to get to grips with pinterest as I have read it is a good source of traffic. Just have some questions though if anyone could help..

1. Do you have to upload your own images to promote your site links? And can you take images you find on the web?
2. Im an Amazon affiliate and wondered if I can upload product images from Amazon?
3. Can you use Pinterest for the mmo niche? Cant think how that could work.
4. Am I better off having a account for every site? Or should I jst use my personal one for everything.?

Thanks

    You should be able to pin any photo you find on a website, including your own. As for using Pinterest for MMO niche, why not try it out. There are many on Pinterest already doing the same, though that's not saying they are actually earning money with the idea. But, you will find the MMO niche represented on Pinterest.

    JohnnyPlan pretty much answered everything.

    I'd recommend having an account for each site, especially if they have different identities or topic areas. It'll help you build recognition for them. If they're for MMO, aim to post stuff into the 'Geek' category. It'll gather more attention there.

    As far as Amazon Affiliate... You should be able to pin product images, it's not against Pinterest rules. It might be in your interests not to make it an obvious advertisement, though.

    Thanks to you both for replying. Admittedly I'm not sure I totally understand how pinterest works so I think I just need to have a play with it.
