Pinterest Users & How They Interact [Infographic]

One of the first metrics people talk about when a new social networking service becomes the poster “boy” or “girl” of success, is how long people stay on the site for each session. The longer they stay, the stronger the hold and appeal is. Facebook has long been rumored to have the strongest community with an average of 7 hours of logged time per month per user. When looking at Pinterest users, we see this site also has a strong community.

Pinterest users log an average of 2.5 hours per month on Pinterest, which by all means is no small feat. One thing that sets Pinterest users apart from the rest of the social media user bases is that Pinterest user referrals spend 70% more money than users sent from non-social channels. That is an insane number of people spending an insane amount money, or so it would seem anyway.

Pinterest users have in many ways surprised analysts all around the world with their intensity and focus on pinning pictures – so much so that the site has become a common measurement for new up and coming websites. Every time we hear about Pinterest and its users, we are always told that this new success story is the fastest growing site in American history. It hit 10 million users faster than any other site, ever.
