Pinterest and redirected links

3 replies
Anyone else found Pinterest are tightening up their policy on external links?

if you had a 301 redirect link it may / may not be caught by their robot (I cannot find any consistencies here)

Pinterest show the following page giving the user the option to continue or go back to pinterest....

    Hi,

    That's not new I've seen it before when using URL shorteners...
    You need to do like me and introduce a delay before your redirection. Even 2 seconds are enough. That way their robot won't see the redirection.

    Seb.

    Do you use Facebook ? Then you can make money just by inviting people to a Facebook group ! It's called the Instant Income System. How cool is that?

      so if you build in some delay with the redirection script, then chances are you won't be discovered by their robot?
