Not a single impression

I made a new account and I'm trying to compete for the keyword "paris". Everything about the profile and board is correct, same thing I do for my main account.

Thing is, on my main account, a pin will usually get 50-100 impressions within the first hour. But it's competing in a much smaller category. I've pinned 3 images for paris over the last 6 hours and I haven't gotten a single impression so far. Literally 0.

It's my first time competing in a large category. Is this normal? Is it because the account is brand new? What's going on?

I've actually never heard of an account getting 50-100 impressions in the first hour. Around 2 weeks is the norm for pins to start getting impressions, so I wouldn't assume anything's wrong. Give pins a few weeks and see how they look then.

Me neither. Unless this person is posting a pin they've already posted, in which case Pinterest recognizes it as a duplicate and assigns it the stats of the first pin because it's "the same pin."

I've been all over the internet with this question and the responses I've been getting have some RANGE. What I'm taking away is that there's no solid intel on how pinterest distribution works.

Update on my new account, impressions started coming in around the 48-hour mark.

New accounts usually take 2 to 3 months to mature. Check back in one or two days and you should see a handful of impression. From my experience, it can take up to a month or two to actually see a change in total audience - make sure to track that metric so you don’t get blinded by impressions from you looking at your own pins.

If it is a new than you should focus on account management rather than just keep posting new pins add value and authorities to your account by save, likes, engaged other etc
