Oh yes. Momcomm is bringing on the Pinterest. I’ll be adding Pinterest tips into the mix of my social media posts, which is party an excuse for me to play around with making pretty graphics.
If you’re on Pinterest, you really don’t get any notifications that someone pinned something that linked to your website. So I’m sure you’ve asked this question:
There’s a really super simple way to see anything that’s been pinned from your website. Just do this:
http://www.pinterest.com/source/WEBSITENAME.COM
Don’t use the www. Just your name and the .com.
Hopefully you’ll find a nice surprise of things you didn’t know were being pinned.
Here’s what it looked like when I looked at Momcomm:

Underneath each pin, you can see how many likes, repins and comments that pin received.
And here’s what it looked like when I looked at Adventuroo:
http://www.pinterest.com/source/adventuroo.com
Mainly stuff from my kids’ birthday party last year but I was happy to find my Family Camping Checklist is getting repinned and so is my son’s modern outdoorsy bedroom.
Easy peasy! If you haven’t seen who is pinning your website yet, do it and let me know if you found anything surprising!
By the way, you can follow me on Pinterest if you really want. I promise I’ll pin good stuff.
Momcomm gives blogging chicks practical, can-do tips for writing, blogging and using social media (and sometimes a snarky rant).

I’ve started to create more graphics for my blog post with the Pin It button below, so this is great timing to see if my posts have been Pinned, thank you!

Thanks! I’m new to pinning blogs. I’ve been blogging and pinning but had no idea the two went together until we started doing the #SITS31DBBB.

Thank you!!! This is so helpful!
Thank you! I was just thinking earlier today that I’d like to be able to see if anything from my blog is getting pinned but didn’t give it much more thought, because I figured it was hard and I just wasn’t into “hard” today. I’m glad it’s so easy

I know– me too! Too bad they didn’t make it more obvious!
Great tip! I pinned it.

That was fun! I know I had looked a while back and then forgotten, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a bunch more had been pinned. Now I need to get the pin it button!

Thank you! I’ve been thinking that this had to be an option, but couldn’t figure it out. Good to see what images people are drawn to and are pinning! Also, I’ve been using real pictures and editing them on Picnik. Where do you create your graphics without a background photograph? Does that make sense? Thanks!

Hi Kim! I use Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop for my graphics (this was PS). Photoshop Elements is a great, more cost effective application though!
I’ve wondered how to do this! Thanks for the information, I just love your site. I always learn something new here.

Well aren’t you smart! I wondered what was getting pinned. Sometimes I get traffic from Pinterest and realize something has been pinned, but this is great. A lot of them are my own pins (muahaha) and it’s mostly my blogger’s manifesto that others have pinned, which doesn’t surprise me, but some other stuff too that I didn’t know until now!

Hmmmm. According to shareaholic, my page has been shared on Pinterest 4 times, but when I go to http://www.pinterest.com/source/discoversoccer.info, it gives me a 404 page.

Thank you for this post! I’ve seen the occasional pins from my blog when they first showed up, but couldn’t figure out how to go back and find them again, or see which other ones I was missing. I did get a few surprises… like seeing that someone pinned an image of my blog header!
Thanks for this, and I love the graphic!

I like to use Pin Alert, it is free and it sends you an email when someone pins from your page. (you can sign up for immediate notification or daily digest, etc) http://pinalerts.com/index/login
LOL, I am not affiliated, I just really like the service, I feel like Pinterest source page can be buggy!
Laurel (@abubblylife) recently posted..Fab Friday- Link Loving, Loving Links!
Thanks for the plug for PinAlerts, Laurel.
My friend Paul and I developed PinAlerts because I hated to keep going to check the source to see if someone had pinned anything new from my blog. Now I just get an email
Like you said, it doesn’t catch all of your pins and if you get a lot of them. Pinterest will only show the most recent ones.
Watch for a redesign and some new features coming soon!

hi! i’ve noticed that when i do this, it only shows like 20 pins from my site–there used to be hundreds and now there’s only a few–when i click on a pin, it shows the ‘pinned via ” in the right corner and shows pins that don’t show up when i use the source link you mentioned. i’m not sure if that makes any sense, but it’s driving me crazy…do have any idea what i’m talking about? http://pinterest.com/pin/224898575114313278/
Wow! I’m surprised it’s so easy. Thanks for the tip!
