Because Pinterest plans to include redirects and trackers with what they are removing, even links that are meant to simply track clicks throughs will likely be disabled. This could also affect people who are simply using redirect links to count the number of times that has been clicked through or to do A/B testing, especially if they are using URL shortening tracker or other link redirect. They are saying that these old pins with affiliate links will still be there, but the affiliate links will be stripped. This means that if you are making affiliate revenue off of any pins, that will now cease too. They are also going back and removing affiliate, redirects and trackers from all pins that have been pins to the site previously. Pinterest is not just putting this in place for all future pins. In an email sent out to their so-called “power pinners”, and they disclose that they are removing all affiliate links, as well as redirects and trackers from all pins. If you’ve been making affiliate revenue on Pinterest, you’ll need to get a bit more savvy with how you do it as Pinterest is now banned all affiliate links from the popular social media platform.
