Why You Should Verify Your WordPress Site on Pinterest?

Pinterest is one of the most popular social media platforms to share your photos, videos, and other visual content. It allows you to create an account and manage your images like Instagram or Flickr.

It also allows other users to collect websites, links, and other visual content by creating boards.

If you are running a photography website or any other type of blog with images and videos, then Pinterest can be an important source of traffic.

Verifying your website on Pinterest will help you learn more about your visitors using Pinterest Analytics. You will also be able to participate in their ad program and plan a strategy to grow your Pinterest traffic.

That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily verify your WordPress site on Pinterest.

Verifying Your WordPress Site on Pinterest

Before we start, you’ll need to upgrade your Pinterest profile to a business account. This will allow you to use all their Pro tools like analytics, ads program, and more. The Pinterest business account is free and easy to set up.

Ready, let’s get started.

Step 1. Upgrade Your Pinterest Account to Business

You need to log into your Pinterest account and click on the three-dots menu at the top right corner of your screen. It will show you an Upgrade Now button.

When you click on this button, it will take you to the business account setup page. You need to enter your business name, website URL, and select a business type.

Now that you have entered all the required information, go ahead and click on the Continue button, and your personal account will be upgraded to a Pinterest business account.

Note: If you don’t want to convert your personal account, then go ahead and create a new business account on Pinterest.

Step 2. Claim Your Website on Pinterest

To claim your website, you need to go to the three-dot menu from the top right corner again and click on Settings.

On this page, you need to head over to Claim Website section in the left menu and enter your website URL.

When you click on the Claim website button, it will display two methods that you can use to claim your website (HTML tag or HTML file).

We are choosing the HTML tag option because it is easier. However, you can also download the HTML file and upload it to your website’s root directory using an FTP client.

Step 3. Add HTML Tag in Your WordPress Site

There are multiple ways to add a HTML tag to your website’s header, but we will only cover the two easiest methods.

First, if you have the Yoast SEO plugin installed on your WordPress site, then visit SEO » Social page from your WordPress admin area.

Under the Facebook tab, you need to make sure that open graph settings are enabled.

Next, you need to go to the Pinterest tab. In the Pinterest confirmation field, you need to paste HTML tag that you copied previously.

Once you are done, click on the Save Changes button.

If you are not using the Yoast SEO plugin, then you need to install and activate Insert Headers and Footers plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit Settings » Insert Headers and Footers page in your WordPress admin area. In the Scrips in Header section, you need to paste the HTML tag and click on the Save button.

Once the HTML tag is added in your website’s header section, you need to go back to the Pinterest screen and click on the Next button in the popup. It will now ask for confirmation to send your site to review.

Normally, the process takes 24 hours, and you get an email about the verification of your website. Once it’s done, you’ll also see the confirmation on Claim Website section in Pinterest.

After verification, you can use Pinterest tools like analytics, ads program, image stats, and more. You can also add Pinterest Pin-it button on your blog images, so the visitors can share your photos on this Pinterest boards.

The Moto Z3 is now available for purchase from Verizon

• The Motorola Moto Z3 is available to purchase from Verizon.
• The handset costs $480 or $20 a month for 24 months on a Verizon device payment plan.
• While the Moto Z3 will be able to run on Verizon’s 5G network, it will require a 5G Moto Mod that won’t be released until 2019.

---

Motorola held a press event earlier this month to officially unveil the Moto Z3. Verizon had a prominent presence at the announcement, as the Z3 would be one of the first to work on the network’s 5G network. As of today, the Moto Z3 is now available for purchase directly from Verizon.

The Moto Z3 doesn’t differ much when compared to last year’s Moto Z2 Force. The overall build remains almost identical to its predecessor featuring a 6.01-inch Full HD+ (non-shatterproof) display, a thin design, a glass back, and a metal frame. Unfortunately, Motorola wasn’t able to change much as the phone had to remain compatible with every Moto Mod released over the last several years.

Internally, the Moto Z3 is specced like a phone from 2017. This means a Snapdragon 835 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and a 3,000mAh battery. While these are decent specs, it’s rather strange to see a flagship smartphone released with last year’s processor.

But what makes this device so unique is its ability to one day work on Verizon’s 5G network with the use of a Moto Mod. Unfortunately, the Mod won’t be available until sometime in 2019. At that point, phones from other manufacturers like Samsung will have the 5G functionality built into the handset and won’t require a thick accessory to be mounted onto the rear of the device.

Customers who wish to buy the Moto Z3 can do it directly from Verizon’s website or by visiting a retail location. The handset retails for $480 but can be had for $20 a month for 24 months on a Verizon device payment plan.

For new customers, Verizon is offering up to $300 in credit towards the price of the phone when a line is opened and an eligible phone is traded in.

Motorola Moto Z3 review: Is the promise of 5G enough?

The introduction of the original Motorola Moto Z in 2016, with its attachable Moto Mods, was exciting. It was new and refreshing, and having attachable parts to add more functionality to your smartphone was unheard of in the smartphone industry. We’re now on the third generation of the Z line with the Moto Z3 but Motorola seems have lost its momentum. Aside from its future promise of 5G speeds, the Moto Z3 does very little to make it a compelling product otherwise.

So is the Moto Z3 worth buying, and if so — who is the target audience? That’s what we aim to answer in this Moto Z3 review.

Design

The Z3 recycles the same glass sandwich design of the Z3 Play with identical dimensions and no headphone jack.

The Moto Z3’s design is identical to the recently released Moto Z3 Play. There used to be a clear distinction in design between the Play and non-Play versions of the Z line, but this is no longer the case. Aside from the Verizon stamp on the back of the Moto Z3 and the blue color of the Z3 Play, you won’t be able to tell the difference. The Z3 has the same glass sandwich design of the Z3 Play, with identical dimensions and no headphone jack.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The design is sleek, comfortable to hold, and extremely thin. I’m a fan of the side mounted fingerprint sensor — it’s in a perfect position for your thumb if you use your smartphone in your right hand and very quick to unlock. For left-handed users, it won’t be quite as easy to use and is not in the best location for registering multiple fingerprints.

Display

The screen is a comfortable size for productivity and great for more casual activities like gaming and watching Netflix.

The Moto Z3’s 6-inch 18:9 AMOLED screen is also identical to the Z3 Play, which again isn’t a bad thing. It is surrounded by thin bezels, has vibrant color, and the FHD+ resolution keeps everything looking sharp. The screen is a comfortable size for productivity and great for more casual activities like gaming and watching Netflix. It’s bright enough to be visible in direct sunlight, and Motorola’s software includes a color mode for adjusting the temperature and saturation of the screen.

Performance

The Moto Z3’s specs are a significant upgrade over the Z3 Play, though it ships with last year’s flagship Snapdragon 835 processor instead of the 845 we’ve seen in most 2018 flagships. This doesn’t ruin the experience by any means. The 835 is still an extremely fast processor and the 4GB of RAM is more than plenty.

The Moto Z3 ran smoothly, handling any task I threw at it. It performs well with normal everyday tasks such as reading emails and social media and can handle the most graphically demanding games from the Google Play Store. I would have loved to see how Fortnite runs on the Moto Z3 for this review but it isn’t on Epic’s compatibility list for now.

I didn’t expect much from the 3,000 mAh battery but it definitely lives up to Motorola’s claim of all-day battery life.

Battery life on the Z3 was surprisingly just as impressive. I didn’t expect much from the 3,000mAh battery but it definitely lives up to Motorola’s claim of all-day battery life. I was able to consistently achieve more than five hours of screen-on time. I usually ended the day with 20 percent battery left in the tank. My usage varied from day to day, but a typical day for me included some light gaming, watching YouTube, reading emails, and the typical social media. Standby time was also excellent with the Z3 ranging anywhere between 16 to 20 hours off the charger.

Hardware

Although the excitement for the Moto Mods has waned, Motorola is still leveraging it as a reason you’ll want to buy the Moto Z3.

Moto Z3’s Mod reveals the problem with 5G

Wow, would you look at the antenna hump on that Moto Z3 5G Mod? I’ve not seen anything like it since my Dad’s Nokia 6110. But credit to Motorola, the company has form when it comes …

The main reason anyone should buy a Moto Z smartphone is for the Moto Mods — it’s a big part of why these smartphones exist. Although the excitement for the Moto Mods has waned, Motorola is still banking on it being a reason to want the Moto Z3. The latest addition to the Moto Mod lineup is the 5G Moto Mod, which will enable 5G data speeds and presumably make the Z3 a better smartphone. It won’t be available until early 2019, but if you want to be one of the first to hop on a 5G network when it goes live, the Moto Z3 will be the phone to do it with. The 5G Moto Mod will initially only work on Verizon’s network and the Moto Z3, but the possibility of it working on other networks and prior Motorola devices are not out of the question.

Camera

The Moto Z3 comes with dual 12-megapixel cameras on the rear. The primary 12-megapixel shooter features f/2.0 aperture and laser autofocus. The secondary sensor is of the monochrome variety for true black and white photos, better details when capturing stills, and portrait mode photography. An 8-megapixel camera is on the front for selfies. It’s also capable of software-based portrait photos. The camera experience is identical to the Z3 Play, with the same features, like Cinemagraphs for capturing animated stills and Google Lens integrated in the Motorola camera app.

Overall, I was happy with the quality of the images from the Moto Z3’s camera. It performs well in good lighting or bright outdoor situations. Images are sharp, detailed, and colorful. It worked perfectly for taking pictures of everything from close-ups of food to wide outdoor landscapes. Dynamic range was good enough that I rarely ran into situations where highlights were overblown or shadows were too dark.

The camera faltered in low light, which isn’t surprising given its lack of OIS. Once the sun starts to set or you walk into a dimly lit bar, the quality diminishes very quickly. Images become very soft and muddy, and the colors are washed out. Depending on the subject, the camera has a much harder time grabbing focus in dark scenarios. In most situations, the camera produces more than adequate results but don’t expect much from it at night.

Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play review: The best cheap Android phones you can buy

The beauty of Android is that you can buy a phone no matter how much cash you have to spend. If you’ve got upwards of $800, buy a Pixel 2 XL or Galaxy S9 Plus. …

The Moto Z3 offers the standard Motorola software experience, running Android 8.1 Oreo with the usual suite of Motorola additions, such as the wrist twist to launch the camera, Moto Display, and the double chop action to turn on the flash. You can also use iPhone X/Android Pie-like navigation gestures in lieu of the default navigation keys. Otherwise, the experience is about as close to stock Android as you can get without using a Pixel.

Despite Motorola’s clean and intuitive software, being a Verizon exclusive means it’s mucked up by a ton of bloatware. In addition to the entire catalog of apps Verizon continually likes to shove in consumers’ faces, there is an excess of third-party applications such as Slotomania, Final Fantasy XV, Bank of America, eBay, WeatherBug, and FanDom. You can uninstall these apps to free up storage and clean up the software, but it’s an unnecessary hassle.

Motorola also recently announced that the Moto Z3 is on the Android 9.0 Pie update list. The company says it’ll start rolling out the update this fall, so it shouldn’t be long until the Z3 is running the latest version of Android.

Moto Z3 pricing & final thoughts

Compared to other 2018 flagships, the Moto Z3 is relatively cheap. It’s $480 outright from Verizon — oddly cheaper than the more mid-range Z3 Play — but the cheaper price means you don’t get a Moto Mod bundled in the box. If you’re on Verizon, the Moto Z3 is a great deal for the price. It’s a good smartphone with no major faults, it just isn’t exciting.

The exciting part comes later down the road when 5G speeds become available. Like a fine wine, the Moto Z3 will only get better with time. However, that is still many months away. I don’t imagine many people will want to invest in a phone with dated specifications for the promise of future technology.

So that’s it for our Moto Z3 review. What do you think of Moto’s latest? Let us know in the comments.
