Questions

Good to know

Where do the numbers come from?

From Pinterest itself: its search, its ideas pages (which give each topic’s monthly searches), each pin’s own page and Pinterest Trends. PinWatcher reads what anyone can see on Pinterest; it does not guess.

Do I need to connect my Pinterest account?

No. PinWatcher never asks for your Pinterest password. To follow your own account, just type its username.

Is it free?

Yes, to start: make an account and use every tool. Each account can make 3,000 Pinterest lookups a day once its email is confirmed, so the app stays quick for everyone.

How is keyword difficulty worked out?

From the pins ranking now: how many saves the top 10 have, how many of them are over a year old, and how much of the top 25 a few websites hold. 0 is easy, 100 is very hard.

How often are rankings checked?

Every tracked keyword is checked once a day, down to its top 100 pins, and you can check any of them on the spot.

Start with one keyword.
