Finding Your Work On Pinterest PART 1

Learn to recognize an original pin from its repins. This can speed up your DMCA take down chores. Although an "ancestor" pin and its subsequent repins all have different PAGE URLs, they display the same IMAGE URL. Do not submit PAGES in your DMCA take downs, as Pinterest will remove the page, and not remove the associated repins. If you submit IMAGES, then all the repins will be neutralized with a single request.

STEP 1

Take note of the number on the pin PAGE in the URL. This one is:
261912534548757080.


STEP 2

Get the image location by right-clicking on the image. Copy and paste in a text editor like Notepad or Word. This one is:
http://media-cache1.pinterest.com/upload/261912534548757080_nKv5Q8vY_f.jpg

Notice that the digit string for the IMAGE is the same as the digit string for the PAGE above (261912534548757080).

When the image digit string and the page digit strings are the same, that means we are dealing with an original pin taken directly from the wed. This is the "ancestor" pin.




STEP 3


Find the links to the repins. Do not click on the repinner's name, click on the repinner's FOLDER. There are two repinners here, but we only need to follow one for this demonstration.



STEP 4

You have reached the repinner's pin board. Find the repined image. Here, it is dead center in a page with few images. You may need to scroll a lot, or search for keywords to identify this image on the page. If there are a great deal of images, you will need to scroll down to the bottom repeated to stimulate the Pinterest server to fetch even more of that folder's pins. Click on that image.



STEP 5

Take note of the number on the pin PAGE in the URL. This one is:
29836416251403328.

Get the image location by right-clicking on the image. Copy and paste in a text editor like Notepad or Word. http://media-cache1.pinterest.com/upload/261912534548757080_nKv5Q8vY_f.jpg

Notice that the digit string for the IMAGE is NOT the same as the digit string for the PAGE above, but it is the same as that of our "ancestor" pin.

This means that we are dealing with a repin.



It is hoped this will help creators find their way around the Pinterest maze - at least you will be able distinguish original pins from repins.
