Under thenewguidelines, you can nolongerrequirepeopletopinspecificcontentforyourcontest.Don't #3:Makepeoplepinorrepinyourcontestrules. This is a biggie.Thismakes sense: Pinterestdoesn'twantitsusers' pinboardsfloodedwithcontestrulesfromallthedifferentconteststheyareentering. Re-pinningcontestrulesbringsnothingcreativeorinterestingtoPinterestand it can technically be seen as spam.Don't #4:Run a sweepstakeswhereeachpin, repin, board, like, orfollowrepresents an entry.This is anotherbig hit tothemanybrandsandbloggersthatrunPinTo Win contests.
