Or maybe your friend had a friend that it happened to.&nbsp;Or maybe it&#8217;s even happened to you. One day you&#8217;re just doing your thing on Pinterest, and <strong>BAM<\/strong> \u2014 you&#8217;re locked out of your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having your account frozen, or being put in &#8220;Pinterest jail&#8221;, can happen to anyone if you&#8217;re not careful. In this post, we go through the most common reasons people are locked out of their account, and how you can avoid being thrown in Pinterest jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-steal-images\">Don&#8217;t Steal Images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may seem obvious, many Pinners steal images without realizing what they&#8217;re doing is wrong.\u00a0There are a number of unintentional ways users actually violate copyrights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pinning from a site that doesn&#8217;t have the proper source<\/strong>. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s really easy to stumble upon pages that pull in images without linking to the original source. If the page is flagged as spam by Pinterest,\u00a0<em>you<\/em> could be penalized for pinning from that. Watch out for nonsensical Tumblr pages (often pages with a username that seems to be a\u00a0random set of letters and has no flow) and websites\u00a0that use too many irrelevant affiliate links.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repurposing content from other social platforms<\/strong>. Did you see a hilarious cat meme on Facebook and now you want to share it on Pinterest? Well, before simply saving it and uploading it to Pinterest, be sure you know\u00a0what URL the Pin should be directed towards. Otherwise, someone could claim it as their own and flag your content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relying on Google for images<\/strong>. It can be tempting to jump on Google image search, type in the picture you&#8217;re looking for, and take the best image that pops up to promote your site on Pinterest. However, if someone notices that the image isn&#8217;t your own, they could report your account and you could even end up in\u00a0Pinterest jail. To avoid this, you can use free stock photo and editing sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/canva.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canva<\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.splitshire.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Splitshire<\/a>\u00a0to find royalty-free images.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-mass-follow-unfollow\">Don&#8217;t Mass Follow\/Unfollow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the early\u00a0days of Pinterest marketing, there were tips floating around that the best way to gain followers was to follow a lot of them, then unfollow those who don&#8217;t follow you back. Following and unfollowing in bulk can get your Pinterest account suspended in no-time flat. Not only is it annoying for those being mass followed\/unfollowed, it&#8217;s also going to clutter your news feed with potentially irrelevant content making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\/smartloop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">repinning<\/a> \u2014 a vital part of Pinterest marketing \u2014 practically impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-only-use-third-party-apps-approved-by-pinterest\">Only Use Third-Party Apps Approved By Pinterest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/business.pinterest.com\/en\/blog\/more-ways-get-pinterest-insights-your-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">only a handful of third-party apps<\/a> that Pinterest has included in their Business Insights API. These apps are the only ones that have direct and approved access to Pinterest&#8217;s data. <strong>Companies that ask for your Pinterest password for Pin scheduling or scrape Pinterest&#8217;s data to gain analytics information are actually in violation of Pinterest&#8217;s terms of service<\/strong>. Using an app that goes against Terms of Service has resulted in users accounts being frozen and can be dangerous to your online identity. So why risk it? Go ahead and give one of the approved apps, like <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=cta&amp;utm_campaign=how_to_avoid_pinterest_jail&amp;ref=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tailwind<\/a>, a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-repeatedly-comment-with-links\">Don&#8217;t Repeatedly Comment with Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll go ahead and admit it. I&#8217;m actually guilty of being suspended by Pinterest for commenting too often. Back when I was a young, naive Pinterest marketer, I thought it would be a good idea to comment on\u00a0Pins related to social media marketing\u00a0with a blog post I&#8217;d written. Even though the link was relevant to the Pin, it&#8217;s still a pretty obnoxious thing to do. Pinterest cares deeply about the quality of your time on the site, so behavior like that is not tolerated. If you\u00a0<em>must<\/em>\u00a0comment with a link, be sure it&#8217;s extremely relevant and\u00a0do not do it very often!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tailwind-for-pinterest\">Tailwind for Pinterest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tailwind&#8217;s intuitive dashboard and clever browser extension help you to schedule a week of social posts in under an hour at your convenience. To top it off, our Smart Schedule makes sure that all of those posts go out when your audience are most likely to engage with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tailwind members grow engagement on their post 2.5x faster than non-members on average.
