What does the Internet look like? How does it evolve?

There are several companies who attempt to measure the Internet's usage: ClickZ, Cyberatlas.internet.com, Statmarket.com, Nielsen Ratings, Office of the CIA, Mediametrix.com, comScore.com, eMarketer.com, Serverwatch.com, Securityspace.com, and the Computer Industry Almanac. These groups use custom techniques of polling, electronic tallying of server traffic, web server logging, focus group sampling, and other measurement means.

We've known it for a long time: the web is big. The first Google index in 1998 already had 26 million pages, and by 2000 the Google index reached the one billion mark. Over the last eight years, we've seen a lot of big numbers about how much content is really out there. Recently, even our search engineers stopped in awe about just how big the web is these days -- when our systems that process links on the web to find new content hit a milestone: 1 trillion (as in 1,000,000,000,000) unique URLs on the web at once!

Assessing the size of the Internet is a somewhat difficult proposition, since it is a distributed body, and no complete index of it exists. What we mean by asking how large the Internet is also plays into how we answer the question. Do we mean how many people use the Internet? How many websites are on the Internet? How many bytes of data are contained on the Internet? How many distinct servers operate on the Internet? How much traffic runs through the Internet per second? All of these different metrics could conceivably be used to address the sheer size of the Internet, but all are very different.

Cyveillance.com , a business intelligence gathering firm, attempted to count the pages on the web. They then published a white paper called Sizing the Internet. Using their proprietary Net SapienT Technology to survey the extent and growth of the web, they estimated that there were 2 billion unique, publicly accessible pages on the Internet in July of 2000. Additionally, they found that 7.3 million unique new pages were going on the net each day. In the same paper, Cyveillance predicted that there would be 4 billion publicly available pages on the Internet by early 2001. Cyveillance emphasized that their technology was able to estimate growth, an improvement over just taking a static snapshot. Their results indicted that the Internet was growing dynamically and had yet to peak. Cyveillance's most recent statistics indicate about 6 billion web pages are on the public web.
