    There are 7 Billion people on the earth now. 7 Billion is 1000 times 7 Million. 1 million is 10 Lakhs. Anyway, 7 Billion is 700 Crores. Let’s just assume that there is 1 website for every 100 people on earth (intelligent guess?). Therefore, there should be 7 Crore websites in the world. How’s that analysis?

    I wonder what they did to measure the the exact number of websites on the internet. It’s a well known fact that search engines only index a very small percentage of sites. Does it include hidden networks such as onionland and freenet?

    Hi.. I bought a Domain from netfirms and after a short period I check that on alexa it was at 27,827,285 ,knowing that I remain website untouched only I installed Joomla script without any promotion, So I think 346,004,403 Number is Exaggerated.
