Thanks-- and glad you found it valuable! Our growth has been nearly entirely social, with the 60% driven by sites like Pinterest, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Tumblr, & Twitter. The rest mostly comes from our syndication partnerships. Outside of some free trials from Google Adwords, we've never paid for any visitors... and we've never been covered by any major outlet either. We've grown 35% on average each of the last 5 months & it's all organic.

Pretty impressive. Is your social driven traffic via your own profiles on these sites or users/readers?

  Mix of both, we've got some pretty epic profiles-- but the majority comes from others sharing our stuff w/ their friends. Strong believer in this as a trend (Buzzfeed talks about this, too: http://adage.com/article/digitalnext/content-shared-close-friends-influencers/233147/ http://adage.com/article/digitalnext/content-shared-close-fr...)
