Reach is great, but if it doesn't lead to anything more there isn't much use. You can reach the homepage of Digg, get thousands of new visitors, but if none of them stick around, have a look at your site, add it to their rss feed, buy something, or whatever action is desirable it's ultimately pointless. Just thinking in terms of reach is the old way of marketing thinking and one I'm hoping most marketing practicioners are moving away from. Great article Igor, I completely agree.
