That is the metric that's used - it's the same sort of metric that's used 
by spammers as well.  They don't target well, they just blanket and hope 
they can get a click.  The high conversion rate for scammers is based 
entirely on an initial response -> scam successful ratio, because they 
don't want to waste their time with people like us who are just going to 
waste their time.
