Can some one explain how you use pinterest? Do they allow affiliate links on the pics or do you have to link them to one of your blogs?

It's a visual bookmarking site, with social elements. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to monetize it or suck traffic from it.

I have a mainstream recipe site that I run for a client. I manage all of her social media and Pinterest accounts for a HUGE portion of our traffic right now. For the past month, with over 200k unique visitors 38.4% have come from Pinterest.

It is most certainly geared towards the ladies, but I notice more and more men joining daily.

Can you link your pinned pics to affiliate links or do they have to go to a webpage?
