Pinterest outbound clicks

WBartworks — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 13:51:08 GMT

I decided to finally try out promoting my product at Pinterest by placing an ad for one of my posts. After one day I got the following results:

Impressions: 2.37k Pin clicks: 21 Outbound clicks: 4

From what I understand the outbound clicks signify four people have reached the product posted in my Zazzle store. However, Google Analytics doesn't show even one visitor came from Pinterest. How could that be?

There is this like "in between" from posting Zazzle products on Pinterest Page that plays as a preview page so I don't think that the views count from that page unless someone clicks "view more details" which leads to the actual product page.

There is a "Pin Click" which brings you to the preview. The "Out bound click" brings you to Zazzle. I discovered that it shows in Google when I click on it so I think that the 4 Outbound clicks were all made by me.

That's a little disheartening, WB. 😟 I haven't tried any advertising on Pinterest - but with 2.37k impressions, one would hope for more clicks. I've had the same kind of experience on other socials. Some people swear by Pinterest, but I dunno...
