I am literally coming to your video today because earlier this morning my account was de-activated. I had only pinned 3 pins of my products in the last 7 days. I appealed and am now re-activated according to their email. But I would like to avoid this happening again in the future. Thank you for sharing your experience, it is reassuring.

[@KaraBuntinTutorials]

It's really aggravating, but it does happen. We're also going into the season when they tend to deactivate accounts more frequently, so it could happen again. Don't pin too many things in one day and don't pin the same url too often (leave a week or so in between) and you should be fine.

[@GypsiesandInk]

@@KaraBuntinTutorials Yes, good advice. I think when I made a revision to a product and pinned the revised listing it may have been the trigger (same url).

I learned that the hard way! I use Pinterest for my shop and did a big scheduling session: I easily forget about making time for Pinterest, had tons of new pictures, so it sounded like a good idea to schedule a month of content to promote. And... suspension! My account was reinstalled quickly (but I didn't get the emails, and I did look into my spam folder). To me the fun thing is that I used for years external scheduling tool which are perfect to... be a noisy spammer, it even repins to other boards automatically. And now that I do focus on quality, and only use the Pinterest tool, I got the suspension. Maybe my karma was delayed somehow but anyway lesson learned 😆

[@KaraBuntinTutorials]

I don't think it's scheduling things using the Pinterest tool or any other one, I think it's probably unusual activity. But then again, sometimes you don't do anything and you get suspended. I did get my personal account (brand new that I was setting up) suspended as I was making the second board, and I hadn't pinned anything! It's usually a mistake but they never tell you why it happened.

Just watched this and now I’m full of dread, lol. I feel like I’ve been using Pinterest over the past few months *exactly* wrong in terms of what attracts spam bots. I let my business account sit for a week or so then pin a lot to catch up, then keep repeating that pattern. Maybe I’ll just not do anything for a while then try to be more occasional and laid back about it. I do have a question though: when you talk about pinning that looks like spamming to Pinterest, are you referring to just the frequency of adding pins, or are there other spam components like too many hashtags in each pin or maxing out the number of tags (as long as they actually pertain) in each pin? Maybe I’m doing too much of everything 🤷‍♀️

[@KaraBuntinTutorials]

You don't need to use hashtags on Pinterest, so don't do that anyway...It's usually the rate of pinning or pinning the same url too often that gets you.

@@KaraBuntinTutorials thank you!

[@matamiaa]

Just got hit with this a few days ago. I don’t even pin that much maybe once per week. But thankfully they reinstalled my account on the next day after appeal. That was scary 😅

[@KaraBuntinTutorials]

I know! I'm scared every time I go to open my accounts!

[@sheilathompkins8844]

Thank you 😊

[@KaraBuntinTutorials]

No problem
