Organic Traffic in August"},"content":{"rendered":"

Since the beginning of the year, we\u2019ve been keeping a close eye on online traffic trends, especially on social media darling, Pinterest. In January, it was already breaking records: It sent more referral traffic than Google+, LinkedIn and YouTube combined.<\/a>\u00a0Many weren\u2019t quite convinced Pinterest was here to stay, but it continued to grow, beating out Twitter in February<\/a> and StumbleUpon, Bing and Google Referral Traffic in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"January<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, our findings based on traffic trends for more than 200,000 publishers who reach more than 270 million people each month show that Pinterest referral traffic is less than 0.10% away from overtaking Yahoo! organic traffic. <\/strong>If Pinterest continues to grow like it has over the past six months, Pinterest will become the fourth largest traffic source in the world.<\/strong> While this might seem insignificant compared to Google organic or direct traffic\u2019s share, Pinterest\u2019s growth and market share is impressive for such a new social network.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To see how rapid Pinterest\u2019s growth has been in comparison to similar sized competitors, see the chart below. From May to June, Pinterest traffic grew by 43.37% and from June to July, it grew by 15.97%–if it continues to grow at this rate, Pinterest will outpace Yahoo!’s organic traffic within a month. If Pinterest overtakes Yahoo! in August, it will be the second search engine in three months that it has surpassed.<\/p>\n
