Definitions: A web property is one that offers more than one site. Reach is the percent of Media Metrix individuals that visited a site once in a given month. Individual sites are not duplicated (not counted twice). For example, a site with 2% reach means that 2% of Web-active individuals visited it in a given month. Unique visitors is the number of total users who visited the site in the past month. All unique visitors are counted once and are in thousands. Each reach point represents approximately 620,000 unique visitors, but the actual number varies each month.
