Pinterest Proxy Guide: How to Choose and Test Proxies

As a visual search platform, Pinterest, with its abundant traffic, attracts a large number of e-commerce sellers and advertisers to attract new customers. However, with Pinterest tightening its risk control measures for account environments, accounts can be easily blocked if the network quality is poor. This article will use IPFoxy as an example to evaluate and demonstrate how to choose a suitable proxy.

I. Why do you need an agency for Pinterest marketing?

1. Dealing with network restrictions

Pinterest is not easily accessible in some regions. For e-commerce sellers, if they cannot access the platform smoothly, they will not be able to obtain the hot trends and search keywords in the target market:

• Using a suitable proxy can help optimize the network environment, avoid problems such as using a banned or restricted IP that causes inability to use, or frequent verification codes, page loading failures, etc.

• Switching IP to the target market can help obtain accurate local traffic, especially for software like Pinterest that relies on user location to push content.

2. Account compliance and efficiency

Pinterest has certain restrictions on account environment inconsistencies. If there are any mismatches in the registration country, payment information, or login IP, it is easy to trigger risk control, resulting in ad failure or even account closure:

• With the help of a proxy, you can keep the account login environment consistent with the registration information, improving the security of the account

• During the advertising delivery phase, it can also simulate the real user access environment and objectively test the delivery effect.

3. Matrix account anti-association

On Pinterest, matrix operations can help improve marketing efficiency by expanding the reach of content marketing by publishing content or placing ads simultaneously across multiple accounts. However, if multiple accounts share the same IP address, association issues can easily arise. Once risk control is triggered, the entire batch of accounts may be blocked.

• Using a proxy can provide each account with an independent network environment, achieving one number and one IP

• Used with the fingerprint browser, it can create isolated device fingerprints and browsing data for each account to ensure that accounts do not interfere with each other.

II. How to select the right agent?

There are many websites on the market that test proxies, but you cannot rely solely on the test results of a single website. You should combine multiple web pages for evaluation to avoid subjective results.

During the detection process, the main thing to consider in terms of basic performance is the account type provided by the proxy. It is best to choose a proxy that provides a native IP to avoid account anomalies caused by low purity. Next, I will take IPFoxy as an example to show the specific detection method.

The detection platforms used are (ranked according to the order of the pictures):

• Scamlystic (risk value detection)

• Ipinfo (IP type/ASN type)

• ping0 (type/risk control value detection)

• According to the detection results in the figure above, we can see that the IP type provided by IPFoxy is a native residential IP. Since Pinterest has a very high ban rate for data center IPs, it is recommended to use a native IP with high purity during use.

• In the Ipinfo test results, we can see that the ASN type is ISP, which is closer to the real user network and effectively reduces account risks.

• As for the fraud score index, it is recommended to use an IP with a detection result below 30. You can see that the IP detection result provided by IPFoxy is zero, and the overall performance is still relatively excellent.

In addition to testing the basic performance of the selected IP, when choosing an IP, you should also understand in advance what special requirements the platform you are using has for the network environment. For example, software such as Whatsapp has special requirements for the purity of the IP, and Pinterest also has strict control over junk IPs.

If an abused IP is misused, the account is likely to become abnormal. The risk control value, which is what we often call purity, can be seen in the detection result feedback of the IP on the ping0 platform. Registering an account in an extremely pure IP environment can effectively reduce the risk of being blocked.

III. Summary

After the above multi-dimensional evaluation, it can be seen that the IP quality provided by the IPFoxy proxy is relatively high, and it is also very suitable for players doing Pinterest marketing. In the process of selecting an agent, multi-dimensional evaluation can also reduce the risk of subsequent use. I hope this article can help you solve your doubts about agent selection!
