statistiques de visites - Février 2012 - Aurora Faisant suite à mon dernier article, voici les statistiques de visites de Pinterest en France. Tout d'abord quelques remarques : Pinterest ne donne pas ses statistiques, car elles sont confidentielles (je leur ai déjà demandé)Les statistiques que l'on peut avoir sont celles d'outils de popularité. Elles donnent qu'un aperçu mais ne sont en aucun cas fiables à 100% (Relire mes articles : Difficultés de mesurer la popularité d'un article d'un blog et Mesurer le partage d'un article sur les réseaux sociaux (Outils Gratuits) ) Je me suis basée sur Google Ad Planner pour fournir ce genre de données. Le nombre de visiteurs uniques restent impressionnant, certes mais n'est pas sans égaler certains sites à fort traffics en France. Vous avez bien lu : étrange constatation de voir que les principaux utilisateurs sont des hommes et non des femmes.. Parmi les utilisateurs, aucun sénior. 89% des visiteurs ont entre 25 et 44 ans.

As Pinterest’s Hype Peaks, Growth May Be Slowing Pinterest has been on a hot streak this year. Or should we say hype streak? In February, comScore reported that the site had passed 10 million monthly unique users faster than any standalone site ever. Then we started to hear from sources on Sand Hill that the company has attracted interest at a $1 billion valuation. But numbers from third-party sources like Facebook app tracking service, AppData, are pinning a slightly different picture on the image and link-sharing site. Pinterest’s monthly active users on Facebook — or the number that has connected to Facebook over the past thirty days — have dropped to 8.3 million, from around 12.2 million a month ago when the site did a major redesign. The highest-ever number of DAUs on Pinterest was on March 18, when the site had 4.4 million unique visitors, according to AppData. A couple other sources including Google search trends, Compete and mobile app tracker App Annie are also showing a picture of decelerating growth. So what gives?

Flickr and Pinterest Partner to Make Photo Attribution Easier Flickr announced on Tuesday that it's partnering with social networking site Pinterest to make sure images posted from the popular photo-sharing site are always properly attributed. Pinterest's popularity has skyrocketed in the past few months as more users upload and post pictures to their virtual pin boards. However, not all pictures are properly attributed to their rightful owners. To fix the problem, Flickr has launched a "Pinterest" button in the share menu of its site that automatically credits the image when it's shared. SEE ALSO: 10 Video Tips for Businesses on Pinterest For Flickr images, the share menu will be disabled if a photographer doesn't want their content shared. "This will make it a lot easier for Flickr users to get the photo attribution on Pinterest," a Flickr spokesperson told Mashable. Because the attribution cannot be edited, pins and repins shared through Flickr will always be credited back to the original photographer.

Pinterest Data Analysis: An Inside Look Pinterest is the hottest young site on the internet.

We wanted to see if the usage and engagement numbers for Pinterest were as remarkable as its traffic and gain insights into exactly what was driving growth. Tired of waiting, we took things into our own hands using some clever scripting and our secret sauce for analytics: RJMetrics.

How We Did It We loaded this raw data into RJMetrics and were able to conduct the following analysis in about 15 minutes.

Pinstagram! How Two Friends Merged Pinterest, Instagram in Two Days What would happen if two of the digital world's hottest startups, Pinterest and Instagram, were mashed into one? Two friends decided to find out, in a weekend coding adventure that began as a joke. Pek Pongpaet and Brandon Leonardo were discussing how many startups are pitched to VC firms with phrases such as "We're an X for Y, like an AirBnB for dogs," Pongpaet told Mashable. The duo realized a "Pinterest for Instagram" would be the most extreme example, and thus Pinstagram was born. "Over the weekend I started hacking away at it," Pek says. After connecting your Instagram account, you view your photo stream in the waterfall layout Pinterest is known for, and has since spread across the web. For Pek, Pinstagram fills a big void in the Instagram ecosystem — an easy way to browse your photos on a desktop browser. "This is the perfect interface for Instagram for me," Pek says, noting he uses Instagram more through Pinstagram than ever before.
