Here we are - Day 14... I'm lovin' this!

In yesterday's email, I told you that Pinterest did an update.

That's a normal thing - nothing to freak out about.

It's not an algorithm change - it's just one of those moments when Pinterest gathers info on all the newer pins they have since the last update -

and "decides" what those pins are about.

I've had LOTS of questions about this.

So - if you'll humor me just for minute -

and bear with me...

I promise what I'm about to say has a point in relation to Pinterest and their Updates.

Let's talk deer, dear  =)

I told you in our Day 6 email, that we've been putting food out for the deer in our backyard.

Now, our backyard is NOT big, but we have a lot of wooded area BEHIND our backyard.

We've put out deer feed and corn...

The grandkids have put out apples and carrots.

Needless to say, we now have deer.

LOTS of deer =)

If you know anything about deer, they rarely travel alone (and the females travel alone MUCH less than the male bucks do).

BUT -

I have this one little deer - maybe a year old - that is ALWAYS in the backyard by herself.

Highly unusual - but I gotta tell ya - she is ADORABLE.

She wanders all around the backyard like it is HER YARD.

I've named HER.

She's a she ....

ya know, 'doe a deer, a female deer....'

I've named her:

KEVIN.

(don't ask - it's an inside joke my son and I have - we're quirky but HIGHLY entertaining haha!)

And by the way...

This is a VERY true story.

Here's a picture of Kevin in our backyard while the other deer stay safely on the hill...

Want To See The Picture Below?

Scroll back up and click 'display images below' to see the picture I added below this sentence.

Many times I only see Kevin and NO other deer.

Now -

Kevin's mom could have tried REALLY hard to have her little doe daughter be a Susan or a Tiffany...

Could've even slapped a name tag on her that said:

"Hi! My Name is Susan"

But nope, she's KEVIN to me.

No matter what ANYONE else tagged her or calls her or defines her as...

She is KEVIN.

My backyard - my rules haha!

That, right there - is a Pinterest Update...

+ You have a pin

(a female deer you want known as Susan)

+ You do ALL you can to define that deer as Susan.

(keywords - boards - context)

+ Your deer is SO cute

(ie, Clickable)

+ Some crazy woman, like me, decides your deer is KEVIN

(Pinterest Update)

+ Your deer is never recognized as Susan.

(pin doesn't rank)

+ Your SUPER cute deer is never seen

(no pin clicks to your blog)

THEIR backyard - THEIR rules

(ie, Pinterest)

Ya feel me, dear?

Finding your "Kevins" and your "Susans" is a BIG part of doing well on Pinterest.

Your super cute Susan...

might NOW be a Kevin.

A simple After Update Pin Audit will help you find your "Kevins" so you can rework them.

We'll talk more tomorrow...
