    In my opinion it's Facebook as long as you keep your page updated and post it on public. This will allow everyone to see you're page. Ask also some of your network friends to visit and promote your page.

    Well for free then Pinterest is great for going viral with images.

    But if its direct B2C advertising then Facebook is the only option!

    While Facebook dominates in socially-driven shopping, Pinterest is driving the highest average spending per online shopping session.

    • Facebook dominates as a source of traffic: Shoppers who click-through account for the overwhelming majority of shopping sessions at nearly 86% (85.8%), followed by Pinterest (11.3%) and Twitter (2.9%).

    • Shoppers who started at Facebook browse more and buy more often — nearly seven pages per visit vs. nearly three for Twitter and just over four from Pinterest and purchase somewhat more frequently (conversion rates of 2.63%) than Pinterest (.93%) or Twitter (1.09%).

    • Pinterest is driving more revenue per session - nearly double that of other social channels: While shoppers who come to retail sites from Facebook and Twitter purchase more often, Pinterest users spend dramatically more than either ($168.83 average order value vs. $94.70 for Facebook and $70.84 for Twitter).

    It depends and both sites have different purpose, the kind of visitors you would get from Facebook, it is not necessary that the same quality visitors you are getting from Pinterest.

    Social media is good to leverage as not only a way to gain more traffic, but to communicate with your clients and for them to communicate with you. As different clients will focus on different forms of social media, find out which forms work well for you and for your clients, and use those. Many businesses will post the same things on their different forms of social media and clients can access whichever one they prefer, or they post different content on the different outlets. You will want to provide something that your clients value so that they enjoy reading it and come back. With Facebook this could be company updates, product launches, and event statuses. With Pinterest it could be creating a graphical representation of your values, products, what your company stands for, or other information that will help your clients enjoy their purchases.

    Though most of the members replying here are going in favor of Facebook and I absolutely agree to the logic they are providing but I think there is little more to Digg to get the answer if you are trying to compare the traffic funneling between Facebook and Pinterest. Please keep reading.

    Facebook:

    When we are taking about funneling traffic from facebook then we should keep in mind the nature or mindset of facebook users. No doubt Facebook is dominating the social platform to communicate and share whatever you have but probably you have noticed that Facebook has its drawbacks too. You can get a major part of your friends circle who are either more interested in sharing their updates. They may check out your updates at a glance but may not click the link you are sharing there because they are your friends and they may not have same interest like you.
    • So, if you are trying to drive traffic from facebook, try groups or fan page more than timeline as must to funnel them to your site. The conversion from groups and fan pages on facebook are more positive because they are been joined by like minded people searching for solutions, tips, information published there.
    • Don't invite every one in your friend list to join your group or fan page because that way you will end up building a list of people who are not like minded. Rather it is better that you join some related groups, fan pages and try building rapport or communicate with like minded members there and they will gradually take interest in your group or fanpage. So, whatever you are posting there will go to like minded people and the conversion will be more effective.
    Pinterest:

    Pinterest though running behind the facebook still have some good conversion ratio because people joining, visiting pinterest have different mindset. They are searching for images, categories etc which interest them. So, if you are wise enough to post related images and able to select proper categories, use good description that will help guiding the visitors then the conversion is quite satisfactory or even better.

    So, before choosing any platform it is wise to spend sometime to learn How to use that platform to funnel down more traffic to your site.

    Hope this will help you. If you have any query related to social media, affiliate, blogging, Ad Networks etc.. please feel free to ask me. I would be more than happy to share my experience to the extent I can.

    Thanks for reading.

    Facebook can bring viral traffic and Pinterest brings quality traffic (if used correctly)

    Facebook is far superior to Pinterest. Pinterest has been a complete dud and the links are nofollow.

    Facebook for the longer run but Pinterest can generate some nice traffic early on if you're in the right niche.

    At Evsum we have hundreds of Pinterest followers, and 600+ likes on Facebook. We have like 10x more Pins and Repins than Facebook shares or likes but still Facebook brings more traffic.

    Pinterest is great for amazon affiliates, and will bring good traffic to your niche site if your niche is womens products.
