Zero pin clicks in the last 90 days

almdrs — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 16:32:08 GMT

It means that Pinterest doesn't work for me and I'll stop wasting my time there.

I've got some referrals. They are coming more often recently but I can't figure out where they are coming from.

Any ideas? So I can focus on that source of referrals.

I have never trusted Pinterest's analytics. For me, though I only get referrals from Pinterest the analytics do not reflect the activity which is happening. I've always used the tc code so I know that is where my referrals come from.

You could try an experiment and start using the tc code option if you are not using it currently.

What is the "tc code"?

I'd like to know what a 'tc code' is too. I have tried googling it and couldn't find anything.

It means "tracking code".
You can add

&tc=YourNoteHere
after your
?rf=AffiliateIDNumber

in your links.

Then if you earn a referral from that link, your Referral History Report on Zazzle will show that note on the line item, so you can see exactly which link resulted in that referral.

If I share something on my FB page or Pin something, I usually just add the where and the date like this:

&tc=PIN.01.24.2024
&tc=FB.01.24.2024

or from my website:
&tc=MyWebsite

You can put whatever you want there; it's just a away for you to track where referrals came from.

Hi, sorry to ask, I always feel old and dumb, when people talk about tracking codes... Because I don't know how to add them! 🙄 I allways pin directly from Zazzle with the Pinterest button. How do you add your code? And how to track where sales are coming from?

Wow! Thanks I actually didn't know that you could do that with your referral link, awesome tip!

NPL you have to make a "manual" pin or manual facebook post for this to work. The tc code is something you have to add to the end of the url. This, of course, will not work if you are pinning or posting directly using the Zazzle "share" buttons.

The sales which have tc codes are tracked on your Referral History page. You will find those products sold with a tc code on the individual product name and number on that page.

I´m far from pinterest savvy, but it is because you haven´t linked a website. From my understanding, you can´t do that with zazzle. But if you go to (ok, my pinterest is in another language, so I´ll try my best to translate) analytics, overview, filter, data, and then include saved pins you´ll recieve the correct stats. It´s not 0, believe me.
