Facebook is easily the leading social referrer of traffic, confirms a new report from Shareaholic, which analyzed 13 months of data collected from 200,000 publishers reaching more than 250 million unique monthly visitors.

But it’s Pinterest that has demonstrated the most rapid growth over that time period, with its share of traffic growing by 66.5% to 3.68%.
