# Pinterest Blocked Links / URL

If your posts to Pinterest are getting blocked, you may see the following error message:

**Message from Pinterest: {"message": "Sorry! We blocked this link because it's a redirector and may lead to inappropriate content.", "type": "api"}**

No worries! This is a known Pinterest behavior, and there are a couple of things to check so you can get your posts published successfully.

### Avoid Shortened or Redirected Links

Pinterest does not allow most shortened links because they redirect to other websites. Always use the full, unshortened URL when adding a link to your Pin. This helps Pinterest verify where the link leads and keeps your posts from getting flagged.

### Make Sure Your Links Follow Pinterest's Guidelines

Pinterest also blocks links that contain spammy, misleading, or inappropriate content. Before adding a link to your Pin, make sure it complies with Pinterest's community policies. When in doubt, you can check their official resource here:
