Most Popular Image Sources on Pinterest

Have you ever wondered where do most of the photos on Pinterest come from? What are the most popular Pinterest photo sources? While Tumblr, Flickr, and Etsy make sense, I was surprised to see recipes websites make the top 10 (but I guess that is due to my lack of interest in food recipes – it also explains their acquisition of PunchFork).

Zoomsphere collects a lot of interesting data on social sites and below you will see the top 12 most popular websites (image sources) on Pinterest:

1. etsy.com
2. youtube.com
3. google.com
4. bhg.com
5. houzz.com
6. flickr.com
7. marthastewart.com
8. allrecipies.com
9. 25.media.tumblr.com
10. tumblr.com
11. myrecipes.com
12. foodnetwork.com

This is based on data for this month change in Pinterest sources sorted by pins count. As you can see, Tumblr is counted twice due to a difference in URL (some people pin the actual image URL while others just pin from the Tumblr website) so Tumblr should really be ranked much higher, right under Houzz. ZoomSphere also has other interesting statistics like Top Pinterest Profiles sorted by followers and it covers other social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.

By the way, if you like travel, art, or extreme sports, then follow me on Pinterest.
