What does the Pinterest [Love] button do?
-
I see a Pinterest button with a heart on it. What does it do? What benefit do I get when someone clicks on the [Love] button on my board?

In Pinterest, the little heart button is just like the Facebook "Like" icon. (But they had to be different, so it's a heart, meaning you love it. But not in the till-death-do-us-part way.)
Here's a link on how you can like other people's pins:

From Pinterest:
What's a like? (The Heart Shaped Thing)
Liking a pin adds the pin to your profile’s likes section rather than a specific board.
To like a pin, hover over the pin and click on the heart icon in the top right corner.
What's a pin?
A pin is an image or video you add to Pinterest that leads back to the site where it was found. You can pin anything you find on Pinterest or around the web.
Having lots and lots of people pin a product on your website, or an image or video on your page adds to it's social media profile, and should help with both consumer engagement and possibly rankings.
Hope this helps!

Google SERP shows wrong (and inappropriate) thumbnail for Facebook videos?
Hello I'm running into a strange issue with at least one of my client's video. The video is posted on Facebook. When searching for the video on Google, the SERP shows a completely wrong, and inappropriate, thumbnail image. (And in one case the preview video starts playing within Google SERP.) It also seems that Google is indexing various countries' facebook page for the same video separately (it-it.facebook.com, fr-fr.facebook.com, etc). Note that only the thumbnail and preview video within Google are wrong; if you click on the link, you see the correct video and page. I hesitate to divulge the actual client video, but there are some reports on Google's search community about the same behavior: Here's one that stargs back in March: https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/33760205?hl=en and a more recent one: https://support.google.com/websearch/thread/71452151?hl=en It looks increasingly like a bug in some google algorithm, but nobody at google seems to acknowledge that. I've unpublished the original video from FB and submitted an 'outdated content' removal to Google, which is pending. In the meantime, my questions for our group of experts here: Has anyone else experienced this and any other suggestionso n how to fix? If we assume that this is not a google bug: how could a malicious actor or black-hat SEO influence Google's algorithms to cause this? Thanks, mickey

Pinterest Link Value
Hello, First of all I know that all the links which come from Pinterest are no follow. However about 4 years ago we made a campaign to pinterest for one of the websites we are managing. Although the thing was going well we had to stop it for various reasons. Right now, 4 years later, this thing has grown big without any move for us! All these years our pins, which were great in many aspects, were continuously reppined. This has lead to the point where the Google Search Console is reporting that about 500.000 links are linking to our website from Pinterest. We know how this has helped us or not concerning the actual refferring traffic from Pinterest but our main question, and this where we want the Moz's community help, is how is this helping from a SEO aspect. Thank you!
