Hi Leanna, maybe it is not the looping that dropped your numbers but a combination of factors! I would suggest checking your numbers again after 2 weeks and maybe adjust the looping. Good luck and thanks for pinning the post!
You are right on the mark. Your timing is uncanny. A month ago I joined boardbooster and only did the looping. I have tailwind to schedule my pins out. Since starting looping my pins I had my numbers drop for the first time ever.

Hi Amber, Tribes are great and if you use the niche specific one’s it can be very beneficial! I still like group boards especially if the group board owner has lots of followers!
I have to say that I find Tailwind Tribes better than group boards these days for engagement
Danielle, it is worth putting effort into your Pinterest strategy. You will find it to remain your number one source of traffic and it’s free (or relatively cheap if you use promoted pins). If you need help, send me an email.
Such a great post! I’m really trying to concentrate on Pinterest as I’ve found it’s such a great way to gain traffic. I’ve saved this for future reference 🙂
Totally agree Addison. Since I wrote the post, I am actually more aware of my own contribution to the success of the boards I am a member of. If we all work together, the world can be a better place!
I agree that people actually need to collaborate on these boards for them to have any effect. I have two boards of my own and ask pinners to pin a few once a week. I think daily pinning can be a bit daunting for those of us without automation, but we can all comment the same ten minutes to paying it forward each week.
Hi Roseann, it is great if your own boards get more repins and one should never neglect one’s own boards for the sake of group boards. It is something like your email list, nobody can change it, or take it away from you! Well done.
Thanks for all of the great information! I just started joining group boards recently. I seem to get more repins from my personal boards but it’s probably because I haven’t been active enough on the group boards.
Oh thanks Kathleen! First time for me!!
I am pleased to say that this post was among the most clicked on the Blogger’s Pit Stop. Congratulations. Be looking for a feature on Friday.

Hi Kathleen, It is very true that schedulers cause bloggers not to support group boards anymore. But I don’t think it is penalizing you for pinning manually…some claim you need to stay active on the platform and I agree with that part. If bloggers don’t visit Pinterest they won’t know what is trending too. My best pin is also an oldie! Co-incidence?
I need to go back and read this post again. I used to be right into Pinterest and it was the best source of traffic. I don’t use any of the auto pinners, I guess that is to my detriment. I just feel that they have killed group boards because people no longer need to visit your boards. I will have to read some of the links that you have left for us and get back up to speed on Pinterest. I find it strange that my top pinned post week after week is a post I did about two years ago.
Thanks for all the info.

Yes Joy, you may want to get started early because sometimes you wait to be accepted to group boards. Don’t miss out though!
This is a subject I need to consider more… I need to do group boards more… Thank you for the information about what to do when I do them. 🙂
Hi Cathy, I am glad it helped you. I am a firm believer that my own boards should also be engaged and nurtured but group boards are free, so we should definitely support it more. Tailwind Tribes on the other hand, may become a paid option soon.
This is so timely for me. I was just checking and I don’t get many re-pins from my group boards. Much more from Tailwind tribes. Was wondering if I should drop group boards entirely OR look for different boards. Thanks for this post – makes me re-think my strategy.
