Up Fuel 
After several months of development and testing Pin Button Attraction is finally complete and going on sale this Thursday. Now before I talk about the plugin I’d like to share a specific example from one of my websites and a Pinterest spike in traffic and what it did for my earnings:

Real Example Traffic Spike On Pinterest:
Here’s an example of a traffic spike on one of my websites as a result of an image being repinned a ton:
2,300+ Unique Visitors From Pinterest In One Day:
Earnings Spike As A Result Of Traffic Spike:
These are just Adsense stats and on this website and I make money from other sources as well:
Roughly $40 Increase In Adsense Earnings Alone:
So after getting that spike in income back in March I wanted to find a way to get people to pin the images on my websites more frequently so that I could continue benefiting from increased traffic / earnings from Pinterest. That’s when I set out to get a plugin developed to take into account some fundamental marketing principals I’ve learned over the years.
Why Pin Button Attraction Is So Effective
Most people use a Pinterest button on the sidebar, at the top of an article or at the end of an article. But why make not just put the Pinterest button and follow on Pinterest button onto the actual image itself rather than making people go look for the pin button? So for starters that’s what we did with the plugin. But to make it even more effective at getting users to perform Pinterest actions we set it up so that the Pinterest button could optionally appear when users hover over the image offering a solid call to action.
This results in a lot higher percentage of your visitors actually pinning the images. Rather than having to scroll up or down in the content to find the buttons the call to action is on the image itself. This strategy works and is why roughly 15% of my Amazon income has come from people simply clicking images.
It sounds obvious in principal (because it is) and of course this marketing strategy really works:
These traffic stats are from a website using the plugin and not even using the hover call to action feature. Here’s a link to one of their most successful Pinterest images with over 28,000 pins as of the post date of this article.
Where Can You Get Pin Button Attraction?
The plugin is available for sale on PinButtonAttraction.com
Overall I’m really pleased with how this plugin turned out and looking forward to continued increases in Pinterest traffic on my websites as a result of using it.
Why Have I Been Creating Software Lately?
I really enjoy being a product manager, seeing a problem in my own business and solving it with a software solution. In this case the problem to solve was how to get more Pinterest activity on my website benefit from the associated jump in income. Now after several months and improvements this plugin is finally complete and I’m pleased to be sharing it with you. (I’ve gotten some emails asking why I’ve been doing software stuff lately so I thought I’d let you know)
Edit June 13th: Had an issue with my blog and had to roll back to an earlier backup (lost comments in the process)
Hi Chris!
When Pinterest first introduced to the public, it went viral in a week because it is by far the most easy to navigate social photo sharing, the pinboard-style! And for internet marketers, like i, another medium where we can showcase our passion and skills, and humbly profit from it. So, for someone who is willing to share his/her effective internet marketing strategy to everyone to further increase their site traffic, bless you! I do agree that it calls forth more action for readers to pin images when putting the pin button at the actual image itself rather than having readers scrolling for the pin button. I agreed because it worked for me. This is a smart plug-in!
Is it the Pin Button that is making the pictures not show up?
No, I had to restore an old backup of my site because of a mistake I made. The old backup didn’t have a copy of the pictures.
Can’t see images 😉
Fixed
Got it — love it. Thanks!
I think, there are huge information to learn me. It’s very helpful for users because these tips can inspired us to gain a big benefit. So, thanks for your valuable topic.
I need to find some images to make people want to share. My niche is not one that people happily pin. I have been watching how people make viral images, so that may be something that will help my efforts too.
I have been seeing so many IM, stressing so much about Pinterest. I have signed up there but dont really know how t0o make the best use of it. I still stick to stumble upon. I pray i also get tutorial guide on how to use it not just the plugin alone.
Great Plugin man!
Will try it very soon, I think 😉

Hi Chris,
Pinterest is another social network, which can give you some free traffic. Unfortunately visitors from Pinterest are looking for another great images – if they can’t find them, they leave the site…
Thanks for sharing!
Pinterest was launched just the other day and it is causing ripples in the internet especially in the social media world. Going by recent statistics, the business people who are set to benefit the most are those selling women stuff.
82% of the people using pinterest are women. I must agree that this post is so timely and the information shared will help in a great way to further brand and market your business on the web.
Social media has turned out to be one of the most popular platform for sharing thoughts and ideas. Pinterest is one of the most well-like social media platforms and it has proved to be the most popular since its launch for the reason that it is considerably for its most trouble-free to navigate social photo sharing and the pinboard-style. The pin board has attracted scores of people because it is easier to learn from it. This plugin will definitely increase the traffic inflow to a website just by pinning the contents and photos in the pin-board.
