How to set up Pinterest Analytics

Today Pinterest is rolled out their new look along with a few great new features. One of them being analytics. Why should you care about this? I know you all know that it's not about the numbers but in my case it is fun and educational to see exactly how many people have pinned content from your site, or which pin is your most popular one, or how many people have clicked through on your pins. While the new look has kept it's overall same feel it has been tweaked a little to make it look more sleek and clean lined. In other words, it's downright sexy but then again Pinterest has always been pretty hot, right?

Setting up access to Pinterest's new look and seeing your analytics couldn't be any easier. Here it all is broken down in five steps.
