My end goal is more readers for me.  In the middle we have the work of "I'll link to you and tell people to go visit you, BUT I want them to make a pit stop to learn how super cool I am too!"  Quid pro quo, Clarice.
Yes this is the ultimate goal, so the big supporters find their way to 
back to the source. However bringing lots of traffic isn't the goal, and 
could actually be a benefit of having bandwidth weight and huge spikes 
it hits distributed across a network.
