Treat Pinterest like you would a website and promote it with the usual methods (articles, links, directories, etc.).

Try to pin and re-pin as much as much content as possible (even if it’s from a competitor). By doing this you will encourage a high level of engagement.

Twitter, Digg, Pinterest have customizable pins that are essential if you want to get positive social ranking signals.
