You've hit the problem exactly. I don'...JJ:<br /><br />You've hit the problem exactly. I don't have Google Ads associated with my Pinterest boards, so I'm not losing any money. But you're right -- I don't just pin willy nilly, either. Each pin is carefully chosen to fit in with the narrowly defined theme of the board. And that's probably the root of my displeasure. My curated board is being copied by someone else and (I suppose) presented as something *they* curated. And I also agree with your final thought. I could protest, but to what purpose? At least if someone clicks on the image, they'll see where the pin came from. And perhaps that's enough.

I too went through that process of thinking, but none of that work was mine originally anyway.<br /><br />That shouldn't be the issue. The time it took to carefully select what pins to include has value and essentially the value is in your curation. I would nicely make a comment to let the person know you know they ripped your board off completely.<br /><br />But again, it only takes energy away from what could be spent on something more productive so c'est la vie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
