Social network Pinterest now refers more users to websites than either Twitter or Yahoo!, according to new figures.
The figures, released by social sharing widget provider Shareaholic, reveals that 1.84% of users to websites using its tools were sent from Pinterest, which has now overtaken Yahoo! (1.37% of visitors), Bing (1.03%), StumbleUpon (0.97%) and Twitter (0.80%) as a source of visitors.
However, Pinterest remains significantly behind Google (41.28%), direct traffic (20.03%) and Facebook (5.9%) as a source of traffic.
The figures were drawn by examining traffic sources from 200,000 websites using Shareaholic’s web tools.
