Internet Now Serves 100 Million Websites

Yeah you read right, 100 million websites. What once was only for scientists to post text and images, and share them with colleagues now is a whole large network that includes people from every corner of the world.

Netcraft tracks a variety of website-related issue. Their November 2006 survey showed the number of websites worldwide has doubled from 50 million in May 2004 to over 100 million today.

For 2006, 27.4 million websites have been added. That easily surpasses the 17 million sites that have been created through all of 2005. Compare all this to April 1997 when Netcraft recorded the one million website milestone. All this shows that the Internet has been growing along the years, and what a growth!!!

A large percentage of this growth may be attributed to free blog services such as Blogger of Google and Live Spaces of Microsoft. All this growth looks good for search engines and paid search ads.

What shall we expect to happen? Well I personally think that this trend will continue in the years to come. We'll continue to have more and more sites........
