Fake Pintrest accounts using my photo's?

3 replies
So I have a Pintrest account, like many. And all I do is pin pictures from my website on it, as a part of the marketing strategy, like many of you do it.
Some pictures get a like or repin, others don’t.

Since yesterday something strange happened, my last picture is getting repined a lot, but each time to the same kind of album. I think it’s a bot doing its work. What do you think can it hurt me or not at all?

    Seeing all the pinners who repinned having only car related profiles, yes it seems like a bot work
    Almost my all images that i post to pinterest are used by some pinner who is using massive action bots,
    They scrape images from each category from pinterest then make tumblr's posting images there having Adsense blocks above and below and then they repin their tumblr's ...

    Duh.


    P.s There is no way it can hurt you, you are ok

    It won't affect you at all, other than to give you more backlinks to your site if they left your url intact. And if those "pinners" have real followers then more people will see your pin and possibly re-pin it, bringing you even more traffic.
