Okay so I think I have a little problem on pinterest. Random scam and hack problems pop up with people, I ran into one where pins I didn't make were showing up on my board.

However I use pinterest for my blog now and I noticed one of my newest pins is getting a lot of repins...under the same board name. I went to check out these boards, they don't all have the same items but its like a variety of 6 items and each board has 3 or 4 items on it with one being my pin.

I think for some reason the spammer/hack things have done something with my pin, to make it pin onto random people's boards. I really don't want this to come bite me in the but x.x Should I delete the pin and put it back up? Or just delete it period? Or leave it be ? It seems since this has happened I've been getting a bit more traffic to the blog post that is attached to but still..I don't really think thats a good thing, or maybe I'm just paranoid.

What do you guys think about this?

I'm not a pinterest user at the moment gothtini, but I look at it like this. More traffic and repins can't hurt, and really if you have done nothing wrong then those monitoring the site will know you have done nothing wrong by studying their user data if that was necessary. If no major damage has been done, just tighten up your security by changing your password as it is more likely user accounts are hacked that way. So long as what you actually do online is reputable, and I know you don't like blackhat techniques from your comments in other topics we have talked in, then just keep doing what your doing and ignore the rest. Thanks for sharing this info. you got me wondering now if others have had simular issues.

I don't use pinterest much either, but I agree with MOC - if you are getting extra traffic and no-one is complaining then i'd let it lie, as long as the other pins aren't against the toc or adult material, etc!

Thing is this isn't me being hacked, its someone else who is using my pins on hacked accounts. Which means my pins can end up being reported as spam I believe, but I'm not sure. Pinterest doesn't seem to have much information far as this stuff on google lol so its hard to tell. I dunno I may just delete this pin I have other pins for the page, and anyone can go to my page and pin stuff if they have the pinit button in their bookmarks..I may do some more searching if I find anything I'll let you guys know okay?

What other social sites do you used for SEO? Is other site instead of Twitter, Facebook are affective and helping our sites? If yes than please mention these sites.

I use both facebook and twitter to get more traffic to my site. it is efficient.
