Thread: Non on my items on Pinterest are working now

  1. #1

    Default Non on my items on Pinterest are working now

    When I click on any Pinterest link I see the following

    Not Found
    The requested URL was not found on this server.

    Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at www.ebid.net Port 80

    I have discovered some work but most have the above issue


    So what to do? Deleted all pins and start again or see if it fixes itself?

    Like i said the other day ..there is a problem with pinterest ...

    your prospective buyers have to be logged into pinterest ..when they see a google image, if they are not , then they are taken to log in screen ..then loose track of that image once they are logged in, as they are returned to pinterest start page.

    This is a useless way to go about things ..i wouldn't worry about pinterest ..as you have nothing to gain from it when it operates in the fashion that it does .

    all the best..mark

    Why do they have to fix things when it isn't broken

    I am deleting them all now but have added new ones and its seems to be working now

    I think I may have already said that Pinterest takes you to a page full of items that you weren't looking for.

    You may be better off opening a google website ..they are free ..and there will more chance of being seen on google images ..so you open the website and lead people here .

    mine's a bit of a mess at the moment ....was set up to sell my brothers dogs about 10 years ago (which it did successfully).then i started converting it to a promotion site for men's shed ......was starting to convert it ...then fell out with men's shed and left them...and did not do any more work on it ..some pictures were on Photobucket ......and links don't work anymore

    so its sort of half of one and half of the other . I've also got some yahoo groups on google ..i was running, yahoo were closing them, so i was exploring new ideas ...but changed my mind on that as well when people weren't interested. i did have 5 yahoo groups with over 5000 members

    so there is another avenue ..you can build your own google group ..and put stuff on there with links to ebid...lot easier than the website ..but i never got into them or figured them out, they work like the old news reader thing.

    i may convert to a my ebid items site ..see how it goes .

    https://sites.google.com/site/staffybluebulls/

    You have to know a bit about HTML, I've forgotten most of the bit i knew ..so it will be like starting all over, you can see the remnants of the site ..it wasn't that hard to do. and most of the HTML stuff is very easy to pick up ..as there are plenty of html practice websites to learn from.

    all the best....mark
