Integrate with Pinterest
To the right you see an eye-catching graphic with a message. The graphic is called a Pinterest pin.

You integrate your pin to your blog by going into your Pinterest account. Click on the edit icon and paste the URL of your blog post into the appropriate box.
When people click on the pin from within the Pinterest website, they will end up on this web page.

This refers to visitors that comes to your website as a result of unpaid search results. A goal of SEO is to increase traffic to a website. This can be done by making a website more searchable or by using pay per click (PPC).
What are long-tail keywords?
Long-tail keywords are exact sequences of two or more words that people use to search for something on the Internet. They tend to be very specific to whatever you are emphasizing on your web page. In all likelihood, when customers use highly specific search phrases, they tend to be looking for exactly what is on the web page they find.
Consider this five-word keyword: “low carb high fat diet”. Whoever would come to a website with that long-tail keyword is definitely looking for information about low carb high fat diets.
