I was just looking at my stats, and while they’re not what they used to be (my viewership is less than half what it was two years ago when it reached its peak), I was surprised to find that I get most of my hits and new views through Pinterest!
A few months ago I decided to start sharing posts on Pinterest (I already had an account there, but never used it), after StumbleUpon changed its name and format and was no longer an option for sharing my posts. I had been getting quite a lot of views through SU, but Pinterest beats that. I wish my Google ranking was higher, but I’m pretty sure that’s my fault, for not posting nearly as much as I used to. (I used to average 2 – 5 posts a day!) Maybe one day I will post that much again.
If you’re a blogger who wants more views, add a Pinterest sharing button (it can be found in the WordPress.com widgets), start a Pinterest account, and share your posts there.
I’ve never looked into Pinterest (or Twitter, for that matter).

I’m active on Twitter and have a lot of followers there but don’t actually get a lot of views from there for my shared posts, strangely enough.

I get the impression that for many people, Twitter is a world unto itself.

Thank you for sharing this! I never really thought of Pinterest as a sharing place for writing- probably because I mainly use it for craft ideas😉 I am going to do some exploring now!

Pinterest would be excellent for crafting posts. It may be better for crafts and that kind of thing than the types of articles I write, because it’s based on pictures/visuals.
