Awesome post Ryan. I have been messing around with Pinterest for a couple of months now and agree with you that you have to find the middle ground as the male in the female predominant social network. Humor based pins seems to work the best for me as far as interaction goes and I am very interested in seeing how small to medium sized businesses leverage Pinterest as a marketing tool. I personally feel that the smaller to medium sized businesses (outside of the creative industries) will see no major benefits from putting time into Pinterest unless they are developing content strategies tailored specific to Pinterest. Great read!

I was chatting with someone yesterday about SEO and Social integration. I went on to describe the author rank and how Google is going to use this to determine the real authorities. This is very helpful breaking down the rel=”author” and why you should use it. Its great that you are educating people about where Google is headed and what to do to help win. I wish I would have had a printed version of this yesterday to help describe it. Kudos

Thanks Chris! I think the male demographic will need to become more active in order to even it out. That will catch the attention of male focused brands, who will have more value in using the site as a promotion medium. Glad you liked the article.

Thanks for the comment Jeff. I agree, I can’t wait to see where they go in the next 6 months. I have heard from a few different marketers that the referral traffic from Pinterest is up there, and sometimes surpasses traffic from sites like StumbleUpon and Facebook. I assume the content they are sharing is a huge factor on which sites get traffic but hopefully as they grow, their demographic will start to even out.

Thanks for the kind words Yfran. I agree with you, the ability to discover the new content that men would be interested in is hard, if your not following the right people. It’s also hard to discover the right people to follow. Most of the time I log in, the homepage is filled with woman oriented content. I think someone (or Pinterest) will need to come with a way to allow customization of your page. For one, I hope they will add a mute button, so I can mute specific boards from some users. It would be great if I could mute specific categories I have no interest in. I think a small change like that would allow users to easily customize their feed and cut through the noise, in order to find the content they are really interested in. Again, in terms of the social media world, they are still infants, and have a long way to go. I will check out your post, I appreciate the comment!
