Our biggest draw is from Twitter with Tumblr coming in second followed by Pinterest. The key with Tumblr is to post as many pictures in a picture set as possible (you can post up to 10). Put good keywords in and you will eventually get picked up by a "community" who will reblog you and then the followers just pour in. We were barely using Tumblr. We had a sudden increase of 100 followers overnight the other day. Then again, we are still a new site but we have about a week's worth of posts queued up.

We do post affiliate links on our Tumblr as well. We get more clicks on our banners then we do on the links we provide to our website.
