🚫 Link Blocked or Inappropriate Content
Pinterest blocks URL shorteners like bit.ly, goo.gl, etc. Posts containing these links may fail with messages such as:
• Sorry! We blocked this link because it may lead to spam.
• Sorry! This site doesn't allow you to save Pins.
• Sorry! We blocked this link because it may lead to inappropriate content.
• Sorry! Something went wrong on our end. Please try again.
Solutions:
1. Share links without a URL shortener. If Pinterest still blocks your site, submit an appeal to whitelist your domain. More info here.
2. Use a custom domain for link shortening with a service like Replug. This integrates with ContentStudio for branded links.
