I joined Reddit a while back, posted a couple of links and got banned. Since then, the traffic from those couple of days has sat like a big stain in my stats - never moved up after that brief fling.
After being on Pinterest for a week or so, I now have more traffic from them than Reddit.
So stuff that Reddit. In a grown up marketing way rather than me being a spoilt child of course.
Here's a pic...

Yes, I agree that reddit is a great resource if you use it correctly (and with your awesomely funny self drawn pics I don't think you'd have a problem getting repins!)

It appears to be a site about links, not really content, but they get angry if you post links? What am I missing? I had to go on under 3 names, but I tried to leave...

Do you use Pinterest? If yes, what do you like about it? What the best and worst?Thinking about using this for a site I'm building. Twitter and FaceBook are a given to include as with perhaps Google+ and want to find out what people are using and how useful they are finding these "tools"?...
