Large number of links form Pinterest

[riyaaaz]

Could unusually large number of links from Pinterest cause issues? Would Google categorise them as spammy links or site wide links?

I have a small site with Urls around 800-1000. But webmaster shows 5321 links from Pinterest.com and 1467 from Pinterest.se. Please see attachment.

Google knows all about Pinterest and the types of links that are created there.  The links are nofollow so they will not be helpful to your rankings.  At the same time there should be no problems with having an enormous number of links from that site.

We have two sites with over 100,000 Pinterest links and there have been no problems.  We have not created any of these links and I would not spend one minute trying to make them.  They are all created by people who like our images.   They send a little traffic and we do get a few sales from  visitors referred by Pinterest.

Thanks. In my case, I always pin each and every product after uploading them to my website. So essentially some of the pins were created by me I guess. My website runs on shopify and I have pinterest button on the product page. So I always pin any new product uploaded. Is this a issue?

I do not believe that it would be an issue since the links will be nofollow.

EGOL has already covered this off nicely.

I also have clients with lots of links from Pinterest and never seen a single issue. I would just continue doing as you are - I have also found Pinterest to be a great source of traffic for the right sites.
