3,083,324,652 web pages?

[PFOnline]

Is the number: 3,083,324,652 how many different unique web sites (domains) Google searches or unique pages?

For example: Say if your site has 330,000 pages in the Google index... Does that account for just "1" of the 3,083,324,652 pages Google searches or "330,000" of the 3,083,324,652 pages?

Thanks :)

Pages are pages, not sites.

In fact even regarding PR distribution, remember that google is much more page oriented then site oriented. After all content is in pages, not sites. Sites are just for navigation.

Ahh, that's interesting than, that say Yahoo for example accounts for 4 million of the 3 billion pages searched on Google.

Might very well be.

But I'm not sure if all of yahoo would be spider accessible. Perhaps large parts of it are locked out via exclusion to preserve server resources. Just a guess...

Scary thought though that Yahoo should be >1% of teh entire internet as known by Google.

Yep - I'd say 5 million. I don't know why the difference, though:

Searched pages from yahoo.com for yahoo. Results 1 - 20 of about 5,430,000

Searched the web for allinurl:yahoo.com. Results 1 - 6 of about 4,310,000

Killroy - greater than 0.1% surely?

Actually 3 million out of 3 billion would be 0.10%, not 1% :)

So Yahoo, having around 5 millionish pages would be around 0.20% of the web...and Yahoo's massive.
