Unlike the us photo-sharing site Pinterest, copycats in China are succeeding in generating profits

Pinterest, the social photo-sharing website in the United States, generated more referral traffic in February than Twitter, according to Shareholic, a leading tool for online sharing that also monitors activity across numerous networking sites.

In the world of the Internet, traffic usually means business, but in the case of Pinterest, that hasn't been the case.

Not so for a number of Chinese startups, who have essentially copied the Pinterest platform into sites that are not only generating traffic, they are bringing in the cash, too.

The basic idea of Pinterest is for users to collect and share interesting pictures with others on a visual pinboard. Since the launch of Pinterest in March 2010, the website has grown quickly in both active users and traffic. From August 2011 to January, monthly visits increased by 1,745 percent, according to Experian Hitwise, which measures website traffic by collecting data from Internet service provider networks.
