Introduction: Pinterest's "SpamGuard" AI is one of the most aggressive in the industry. It doesn't just look for spam; it looks for patterns of commercial aggression. If you trigger these patterns, your account is "shadow-banned" (ghosted) instantly. This guide lists the known triggers. Memorize them. Avoid them.

1. The "Death List" Keywords

Never use these words in your Pin Titles, Descriptions, or Board Names. They are instant red flags.

🔴 Income / Biz-Opp Triggers

If you sound like a "Get Rich Quick" schemer, you are dead.

"Make Money Fast"
"Work From Home" (Use "Remote Lifestyle" instead)
"Easy Cash"
"$500 a day" (Specific dollar claims are dangerous)
"Passive Income" (High risk, use sparingly)
"Financial Freedom"
"Multi-Level Marketing" / "MLM"
"Pyramid Scheme"
"Cash App"
"Paypal Money"

🔴 Weight Loss / Health Triggers

Pinterest suppresses body-shaming or unrealistic health claims.

"Lose X lbs in Y days" (e.g., "Lose 10lbs in 3 days")
"Flat Tummy Fast"
"Cure" (Never claim to cure anything)
"Before and After" (The text phrase itself is risky)
"Fat Burner"
"Skinny Pill"
"Detox Tea"

🔴 Crypto / Gambling

"Bitcoin"
"Ethereum"
"Crypto"
"Forex"
"Trading Bot"
"Casino"
"Betting"

🔴 Aggressive CTA (Call to Action)

"CLICK HERE NOW" (Caps lock is a trigger)
"Buy Now"
"Limited Time Offer"
"Last Chance"
"Discount Code" (in the description; put it on the image instead)

2. Domain & Link Triggers

Your URL is your digital fingerprint. If it looks dirty, you get burnt.

❌ Forbidden TLDs (Top Level Domains)

Pinterest trusts .com, .net, and .org. They despise cheap domains used by spammers.

.xyz
.info
.club
.top
.site
.online
.ru / .cn (High spam regions)

❌ URL Shorteners

Never use a generic public shortener. The AI cannot see where it goes, so it assumes the worst.

bit.ly
tinyurl.com
ow.ly
goo.gl
cut.ly

The Fix: Buy a clean .com domain (e.g., MyLifestyleTips.com) and set up a redirect or a bridge page.

3. Image Triggers (Visual AI)

Pinterest reads your images. It knows what is in them.

Excessive Skin: Even if it's not nudity, too much skin triggers the "Adult Content" filter.
Before/After Photos: Side-by-side body transformation photos are frequently flagged for "Body Shaming."
Text-Heavy Images: Images that look like flyers or have >30% text coverage are downranked.
Low Resolution: Blurry images are seen as low quality/spam.
QR Codes: Do not put QR codes on images. The AI hates them.

4. Behavioral Triggers

It's not just WHAT you post, it's HOW you post.

The "Machine Gun" Effect: Posting 50 pins in 1 hour. (Stick to 10-15 per day, spread out).
The "Copycat": Repinning the same URL 20 times to the same board.
The "Newborn Sprint": Creating a brand new account and immediately following 500 people. (Warm up your account for 7 days first).
The "Bot Commenter": Posting "Nice pic!" or "Check my bio!" on other people's pins.

5. Safe Alternatives (The "White List")

Use these words to describe the same things without triggering the alarm.

Instead of...	Use...
"Make Money"	"Build a Side Review" / "Career Tips"
"Lose Weight"	"Fitness Journey" / "Healthy Habits"
"Work From Home"	"Home Office Setup" / "Digital Nomad"
"Crypto"	"Decentralized Finance" / "Web3"
"Cure"	"Remedy" / "Relief" / "Solution"

FINAL ADVICE:

If you look like a business trying to extract value, you get banned.

If you look like a user trying to share value, you win.

Print this out. Tape it to your monitor. Do not deviate.
