Yesterday, we released some groundbreaking news: in August, Pinterest beat out Yahoo! to become the fourth largest traffic source in the world.<\/a> As a blogger, you already\u00a0may have drunk the Kool-Aid and started promoting your own content through Pinterest, but have you made your blog Pin-friendly?\u00a0By integrating Pinterest into your blog layout, you’ll get more traffic to your blog. Here are our four favorite plugins to integrate Pinterest into your blog or website:<\/p>\n

1. Shareable Images to \u201cPin\u201d Images Directly<\/h3>\n

\"Shareable<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re already taking the time to include photos on your blog to make it more shareable<\/a>, make sure to include an easy way for your readers to share them directly from your site. This button sits on top of your images as a clear CTA to pin to Pinterest. When users hover over your image, this button appears. The best part about this feature is that it pulls the description of the image and links to the post automatically in the pin\u2014taking out a step for your readers.<\/p>\n

2. Pinterest Gallery in Sidebar<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This plugin lets you show<\/em> your readers that you\u2019re on Pinterest rather than telling<\/em> them. The Pinterest Pinboard Widget shows your nine most recent pins with a link at the bottom to your Pinterst profile. I like this plugin because it uses the images to attract you, not a huge logo screaming \u201cPINTEREST!\u201d so that it\u2019s easy to fit in with any blog theme.<\/p>\n

3. Pinterest Follow Buttons<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>You also want to make it easy for people to connect with your Pinterest account in the same way that they would connect with your other social networks. This plugin allows you to link your Pinterest profile to your blog in the sidebar. It\u00a0is awesome because of its flexibility\u2014you can choose between eight different styles of Pinterest buttons to make sure it is perfect with your other social follow buttons.<\/p>\n

4. Pinterest Social Sharing Buttons<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even if your posts aren\u2019t photo-driven, people will still want to share your posts with Pinterest. Make sure to include Pinterest in your social sharing buttons so they don\u2019t have to go through a roundabout way to post. We\u2019re a little<\/em> partial to Shareaholic\u2014we have a ton of customization options with our three styles of social sharing buttons that look great with your blog design.
