Kim Lachance Shandrow says, “Pinterest is almost four years old and it’s big enough for its britches — big enough to pull the plug on its affiliate links program, a money-making gravy train that more than a few brands, bloggers and Pinfluencers will sorely miss.

Last Thursday that revenue roll came to a grinding halt for them when Pinterest put the brakes on all affiliate links once and for all. The 70 million-member social scrapbooking site claims it killed off the program to clean up wonky, irrelevant links and pins, but it’s clearly a play for the company to cash in on its market stronghold, something it’s struggled to do for months via Promoted Pins“.
