Question About Creating Manual Pinterest Pins

[Jadendreamer13]

A few months ago, I began creating only manual pins on Pinterest. My views, clicks, impressions, etc. rose 1,000% (but not my sales). That’s the actual number, not an exaggeration. Pretty impressive, right?

However, creating manual pins is a lot more time consuming. So, I have a question regarding adding tags to Pinterest’s Tagged Topics data field:

Is it necessary and/or beneficial for me to enter tags into this field, especially since it’s not a cut-and-paste type of field. I can only choose from a variety of pre-set Pinterest tags — which only appear (or not) when I type something into the field. Many of the options are not appropriate for the design. This process is the most time-consuming part of the manual Pinterest pin process.

So, will it affect my Pinterest clicks, views, impressions, or sales if I leave this field blank?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

That's a good question and unfortunately I don't know. I've always added them but recently noticed that some I previously used no longer pop up. I think it's easier for me now because I've been doing it for so long I know what I want to add.

It's good to add them when you can, it helps Pinterest to categorize them. If you don't have time it's not critical as long as the keywords you're targeting are in the title and description.
