Website Reach ?

[Big A]

What does website reach mean?

On rankings, ProfessionalMuscle is in the top 26,000 websites in the world, with Yahoo being number 1 and Google number 3.
If you are into web design/SEO, I don't need to tell how good that is, when you have hundreds of millions of websites out there. Only 2 bodybuilding websites are higher than us - elite and bb.com

The boards' hits are 65,000,000 per month.

The site's 'Reach' is between 5mil and 10 mil per day? What does that mean?
5million people per day are 'reached' by the website? How is that, as the montly hits are only 65million?

That one is a little perplexing to me too BigA. I remember business classes in college and although they weren't talking about websites definitively, REACH did mean how many people you touched in a certain time frame. My best guess right now is that you are queried in a search engine every day, BUT the user doesn't necessarily click on your site link to actually visit your site. But again, that is my best guess for now and I will try to find the answer for you.

I just found this and this is what I was taught.

It still does not make logical sense however since your visitors per month would be minimum of 140,000,000 on a short 28 day month.

I am not computer saavy by any means but could that also mean that you are put in the little google advertisements on pages?? Do you know what i mean where somebody is searching something and a link to PM comes up in those advertising boxes??

I am a marketing major and that kind of stuff intrests me, plus I would like to be an entrepreneur in the future so I like to learn about making more money.....

That's an interesting thought BD. That makes the most sense so far. I haven't had a chance to look into any further, but when I get a chance to i'll let you nkow. BTW, hope everyone has a great holiday season.

maybe this means you can reach 5-10mil/day on a great day and on worse days you get less traffic?...alex

That's a possibility also.

I think it has to do with how many times the site is listed in search engine querries.

Yahoo has a website reach of hundreds of billions daily
