Derek Allen – Pinterest Invasion

This may be the shortest letter I have ever written. That’s because there’s no time to waste.

There’s an underground website that’s picking up steam. It’s just waiting to erupt at any minute like a geyser…

No, it’s not the latest Google change or Facebook buy out.

In fact, it’s not even that well known. But it has strong enough numbers to stand on it’s own legs.

No one could argue with numbers like these:
It has a Google PageRank of 6 and root domain authority of 92 as scored by Open Site Explorer with 63,000+ backlinks.

The number of unique visitors in the US to this site – 7.2 million per month as measured by Compete.com.

It’s ranked #164 globally in Alexa, #36 in the US.

She told me about this new site called Pinterest and told me everything about it. I half-way paid attention.

Pinterest really caught my attention when I was reading an article on social SEO where it was mentioned.

My ears perked up then.

After that, I asked my wife to show me everything about it.

She sat me down, showed me the in’s and out’s and I was ready to go.

I tried to sign up for an account but didn’t realize you had to be invited (you still do but I’ve got you covered).

So my wife sent me an invite. I got in and it was on.
