They figured out the pinterest advertising model first. Show lots of good looking pictures based on the users intent and surround it with lead generating ads.

And they dont require you to login.

Just did a big remodel, spent tons of time on haozz and none on Pinterest due to that one fact.

Don't know that I bought anything I saw there but certainly saw more ads there than Pinterest

I would akin Houzz to being a cross section between Pinterest and Amazon in the upper market home development.
