New Meta 'NoPin" Code Lets You Block Pinterest

New Meta 'NoPin" Code Lets You Block Pinterest

While most people are looking for ways to get more of their images pinned, Pinterest quietly added a feature that allows Webmaster to block users from pinning their content. What if I don’t want images from my site to be pinned? Just add a meta “nopin” code to the <head> section of your website or blog. The tag universally applies to every page (and more importantly every image) hosted on your site.
