There’s a feature to let you Report or Block someone on Pinterest, and it’s going to change the way businesses think about Pinterest Marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Pinterest’s block feature significantly reduces spam and improves content quality on the visual search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The block button allows users to avoid tons of <\/span> irrelevant content in the their feeds. It also positions Pinterest to provide a more relevant, hyper-targeted content stream compared to other social platforms like Facebook or Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Pinterest is all about you and what inspires you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important that you have control of your Pinterest experience. We\u2019ve always offered basic features to control things like the emails you receive, social networking sites you connect your Pinterest account with, and the ability to report pins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re adding a couple of new features people have requested to give you more control, including the ability to block and report a user and more granular email settings.<\/p>\n-Statement from Dannie Chu, Pinterest Software Engineer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Blocking Changes Pinterest Marketing for Business (for the Better)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why is letting someone block others on Pinterest so important for brands?  It gives you much more control over the content you see on feeds and in search. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocking others could mean you get slightly lower reach for anything you Pin.  However, as a brand or business marketing on Pinterest, this also means you\u2019re more likely to reach people who may engage with your content.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you block some undesirable followers, your fanbase might not be as large, or grow as quickly as on Twitter or Facebook, but each fan will be massively more valuable to you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinterest > Twitter and Facebook<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We already know that Pinterest drives about 14x more referrals per user than Twitter and 12.5x more referrals per user than Facebook…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it’s becoming clear that when it comes to<\/strong> overall value per follower, Pinterest has an even larger<\/em> advantage over Facebook and Twitter<\/strong>, and it will only continue to widen the gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocking people on Pinterest is pretty simple, although the dashboard has changed a bit. You won\u2019t see the small flag icon in the bottom right corner of someone\u2019s profile anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, you\u2019ll have to go to the Pinterest users profile <\/strong>and click the more button<\/strong> (…) and select block<\/strong> from the drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also have the option to report this person if they are posting inappropriate content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
