Have you ever experienced a situation where you were running a PPC campaign on Pinterest and started noticing strange behavior in your traffic stats? 📊💰
I recently ran a campaign for a content website focused on famous people’s photo galleries, and things took an unexpected turn. 😳 Here’s a breakdown of what happened:
– Set up a PPC campaign with a $0.15 CPC bid, targeting specific demographics.
– Started getting 300-400 clicks daily, which seemed like a good deal at first.
– But upon digging into Google Analytics, discovered that 90% of the traffic from Pinterest paid clicks showed minimal interactions, indicating bot behavior. 🤖

So I wrote to the support and completely described the situation, with the pictures.
Each time I got an answer from a new person, saying approximately the same thing,
like that:
‘Please be aware that there may be variations between Pinterest analytics and Google analytics due to the different methodologies used to calibrate data. For instance, Pinterest analytics includes downstream events on claimed domains and repins of pins created by the user’.
Each time I told them that this doesn’t explain why their traffic shows nothing else but a bot behavior. Previously we experienced some waves of the traffic that acted exactly like that, and the source was – guess what – a well-known bot farm.
After the 4th same answer, the support guy wrote that they did all that they could, and closed the ticket.
Well, I created a new ticket with the dialogue and materials attached, asking to escalate and investigate this. I got an answer that this matter has been assigned to a competent team.
I answered – ok, and asked to escalate this to the upper management because it’s serious and I expect to see some actions and compensation at least.
5 days since then, no answer, one my follow-up. I waited long enough, so I’m here.
This must be investigated
Pinterest, we expect your comments
I feel like there is a better sub for this
So they still didn’t reply to you?
