News!! Goal Pinterest From Sharing Your Pictures Or Blog-Posts

This article shows y'all how to halt people from "Pinning" your blog-contents on their ain Pinterest accounts.

Recently I've been investigating  Pinterest, as well as why unopen to blog-publishers, especially those of y'all who role pictures that y'all aren't authorised to distribute whatever further, may desire to ...

Stop people sharing your posts & images on PInterest [tweet this]

I'll portion to a greater extent than almost this soon.   But inwards the meantime:


How to foreclose people Pinning from your posts

PInterest get got provided  a means for website owners to larn inwards impossible for people to Pin pictures or articles from their site, past times adding a rattling uncomplicated slice of code.

Unfortunately Blogger's post-editor doesn't permit meta-tags, thus it cannot be applied to private posts every bit y'all edit the post.  Instead, y'all get got to add together the code to your template file.   To produce this:


1)   Edit your template - y'all don't involve to expand the widgets.


2)   Find this text:
<head>   
(You may involve to await for <head  SOME-OTHER-STUFF>, depending on what template y'all are using.   I simply search for "<head", ie without the closing bracket, as well as brand certain that I produce what is needed afterward the closing bracket).


3)   Add this business of code afterward the <head> tag:
<meta name="pinterest" content="nopin" />
Or

If y'all simply desire to block a specific post service from beingness shared on Pinterest,
  • add this code 
<b:if cond='data:blog.canonicalUrl == "PUT-THE-POST-URL-HERE"'>
<meta name="pinterest" content="nopin" />
</b:if> 
  • and replace PUT-THE-POST-URL-HERE  with the total address of the post service that y'all don't desire anyone to pivot from
    (eg  /search?q=how-to-edit-your-blogger-template)
If y'all role the sec approach, y'all involve to edit your template every fourth dimension that y'all brand a post service that y'all don't desire to move pinnable.   This could larn tedious, as well as the listing of meta-tags could larn long.  But apart from that, there's no argue why this approach won't run "forever" or at to the lowest degree within whatever limits Blogger has almost the issue of blog-posts nosotros tin have.

If y'all desire to continue your template tidy, thus y'all may desire to discovery whatever other meta-tags already inwards the header section, as well as identify this ane amongst them. If tidiness matters to y'all similar this, thus I'm assuming y'all straight off plenty to discovery the correct spot, and to non nest the tags within each other.


4)   Preview (to brand certain you've done it right)


5)   Save the template change.


What your readers see

If y'all get got installed the PInterest-blocking code, as well as ane of your visitors tries to pivot a blog-post of yours anyway, they larn this message:

Which reads   
"We could't discovery whatever images:  This site doesn't permit pinning."
fifty-fifty though Pinterest's ain documentation promised that it volition read:
"This site doesn't permit pinning to Pinterest. Please contact the possessor amongst whatever questions. Thanks for visiting!"

Depending on your niche, y'all may desire to get got a banker's complaint somewhere on your blog, explaining why y'all don't permit pinning of your posts, as well as why.


How good does it work

Based on unopen to quick tests, it's working well:
  • The specific-post-only code worked when I tested it, too.

That said, it cannot produce magic.  Any moderately computer-savvy reader tin larn the straight URL for a photograph inwards your blog, as well as pivot that without going through the blog.   You could halt this past times disabling right-clicks, but fifty-fifty thus clever readers volition simply get got screen-shots as well as brand their ain re-create of your photograph (and it has other side-effects too).    So for images that y'all peculiarly desire to protect, the usual  blogger copyright protection techniques are withal rattling relevant.


Stopping sharing to other social networks

I don't currently know of whatever means to halt readers sharing your weblog to whatever other social networks (Facebook Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc).

However, the other networks are to a greater extent than almost sharing your status, as well as less almost sharing other people's creations.   If y'all get got privacy concerns that brand y'all desire to halt people at that topographic point from sharing "your" content, thus the best approach is in all likelihood to simply non post service the cloth to the meshing at all.

But if y'all produce know ways to halt sharing, I'd dearest to take away heed almost them.
