Find out why you should create multiple pin images for each blog post, why you need to hide Pinterest images in your blog posts, and how to hide pin images in your blog posts<\/h2>\n

Why you should create multiple pin images for each blog post<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are several reasons why you should create multiple pins for each blog post:<\/p>\n

1- Get additional pins, repins, and traffic. <\/strong>Having more pins means getting more repins, clicks, and traffic to your blog.<\/p>\n

2 – Test which images work best. <\/strong>When you have multiple pins, you can test different images, colors, headlines, descriptions, and keywords and find out which pins give you the most repins and clicks to your blog.<\/p>\n

3-\u00a0 New pin images are new content.<\/strong> Pinterest likes new content and they consider a new pin image as new content – even if it goes to an old blog post. Pinterest doesn't like it when you're pinning the same pin repeatedly. Pinning new content is even more important today than ever and will give you more exposure than repinning old pins.<\/p>\n

4 – Readers can choose which image(s) they want to pin and even pin several images.<\/strong> When putting multiple pin images in your blog posts, your readers can save multiple images to Pinterest and can get you additional pin views, repins, clicks, and traffic.<\/p>\n

3 Reasons to hide images from Pinterest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You want to create multiple Pinterest pins for each blog post but you don't want to show 3+ large Pinterest images on your blog posts. Here's why:<\/p>\n

1 – You don't want to clutter up your blog posts<\/strong> and design with too many large Pinterest images and with images that don't fit your brand colors.<\/p>\n

2 – You want to hide images that are unrelated to the content of your blog post.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may have images in your sidebar (e.g. an affiliate product) that are unrelated to the content of your blog post. You also probably don't want people to pin your profile images, logos, popular posts, and related post images.<\/p>\n

You want to show only the images you want your visitors to save to Pinterest and hide images you don't want them to pin.<\/p>\n

3 – You may have images in your blog posts that are not great for Pinterest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may have small images or horizontal images that are not great for Pinterest and you don't want people to pin those. You want people to pin images that will give you the best results from Pinterest.<\/p>\n

I also don't want people to pin some affiliate images or other images that are in the content of a post.<\/p>\n

How to hide Pinterest images in your blog posts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are several ways to hide Pinterest images in your posts. You can use one of the methods below to hide extra images.<\/p>\n

1 – Hide them manually with code.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To add the code, change the view mode from Visual to Text, and you will see the code for your images.<\/p>\n

To hide any image, add this code to the front of the image you want to hide:<\/p>\n

<div style=”display: none;”><\/p>\n

and put this code after the image code<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/p>\n

Here's the code:<\/p>\n

<div style=”display:none;>YOUR IMAGE CODE HERE<\/div><\/p>\n

\"code<\/p>\n

Avoid problems using the code\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It's important to use regular quotes (“”) in the code and not use curly quotes. If you copied the code in MS Word, your quotes could be curly quotes depending on your Word settings.\u00a0 If you're using curly quotes, the code won't work and you won't be able won't hide your images.<\/p>\n

In fact, the first time I tried using the code myself, I had used code I had found on a website. The code had curly quotes and it didn't work.<\/p>\n

Because I know some basic coding, I figured out what the problem was. But I know a lot of people have encountered this problem.<\/p>\n

Copy the code and save it in a text file (not in a Word file).<\/p>\n

<div style=”display: none;”> and use this at the end <\/div><\/p>\n

Also pay attention to exactly where to put the code. Make sure to add the ending code before <\/P> or <\/div> code.<\/p>\n

After putting in the code, check your blog posts to see if it is hiding the images you want to hide.<\/p>\n

NOTE: When using this code to hide images, the images still have to load and this may slow your site speed.<\/p>\n
