Hi Pavan,
As you mention that “pinterest is the best source for those who concentrate on US and UK readers.Also those have a photography blog can make use of this site.’
I want to add something to your points- Its not like that you can use pinterest only for photography site, you can also used it for informative blog by using infographic in your post which is far better than simple text, text link post.
I have also covered some point about infographic which you can check here
And about US and UK user, if you think that ‘is the best source for those who concentrate on US and UK readers’ its good, that you are getting more traffic from that country too.
