    Is it possible to track traffic coming from some pin baord in pininterest?

    Suppose i have two pins say one bollywood movies other bollywood stars and i want to track from which board i am getting more traffic shall there is any way to track this in Google analytics.
    I know the idea of url builder but i guess it all going in pinterest/refferal and not in campaign.

    If you are using wordpress for your site, install "affiliate link cloaker" plugin. It builds you again urls but with your sites domain name. And you can also track how many times they have clicked. Lets say one of your domain is "examplemovies.com". And you create at affiliate link cloaker examplemovies.com/bollywoodmovies that redirects to examplemovies.com and another link examplemovies.com/bollywoodstarts that redirects to again examplemovies.com. After you can track all your data from the plugin and see how clicks you got from each link. If you are not using wordpress make a search at google for your platform and you will for sure find.

    I know that pinterest doesn't allow most of the url shorteners as well as google's one too. But this is what I use and works perfect with no problem.

    Use shorten Links service like goo.gl and submit your pin through that link.
    You can count the click in goo.gl admin area. Don't forget to login before shorten links

    You can track all this from Google Analytics tool. Each individual pin on Pinterest gets assigned its own URL. Google Analytics tracks how many times your site is visited from each individual pin. For this you need to sign in to Google Analytics first and add your website there. After the tracking is setup you will see traffic coming form pinterest by going to :- Acquisition -> Social . Hope this helps :)

    No I do not have video but the plugin's exact name for wordpress is "affiliate link cloaking". Here I've made some screen shots and as an example to show you I have created an example link. And this is the site for this plugin: clionpid.com

    As I said that the every pin has a different URL assigned to it you will also see some similarities in the urls of pins from same pin board. Each pin board is assigned a unique 3 digit number. If you can find that number you will be easily able to identify the pin board by just looking at the URL of your pins seen in Analytics. For e.g see the pattern here :-
    Pin board 1:-
    110478997083524847
    110478997083524848
    110478997083524850
    Pin board 2:-
    110478997083004796
    110478997083004794
    110478997083004749

    My pin board 1 number is 524 and pin board 2 number is 004. The digits left to it is profile number and the digits right to it are the consecutive numbers assigned to your pins. Hope this helps you :)

    See the snapshot attached. You guys can see the Pinterest URLs in Analytics by going to Acquisition->All referrals and then clicking on the pinterest.com url you see there.
