Basically, it means that they are able to make money from Pinterest through people going to their sites and either clicking on their ads or through their affiliate program like Amazon. They have been successful with promoting their pins and they are able to generate an income that way. When I first seen it, I thought that they were getting paid to pin things since I love Pinterest I was hoping it would be a way for me to make some money but it is a gimmick that gets you to their blog and then you find out that it is not what it sounds like at all.
Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. Thanks for the heads up.
I think it could be a good tool for promotion, but I was hoping there was something more.

If they do, I haven't seen it. I get spammed all the time.
I also see some boards that are nothing but links to stuff they want to sell you. There isn't a single thing on their board that's just an idea to share or whatever. I keep getting more and more of these types following me.
