Why Pinterest Is The Best New Way To Promote Your Blog

Guest post by Christine Kane.
For all of you cave-dwellers out there, Pinterest is the biggest new thing. The idea is surprisingly simple. An online collection of your favorite images and photos in one convenient location. All you have to do is put the ‘pin it’ button on your toolbar and as you surf the web, any photo you see can be saved easily, quickly, and, best of all to bloggers, keeps the original source with it.

Just that alone would be enough to have bloggers everywhere tittering in delight. I mean, another way for people to essentially follow your site is great, right? But wait! There’s more! Not only does the person pinning the photo get to keep your site in mind forever, but they also share their ‘pins’ with others. Millions and millions of others.
