HUGE index

Dont know if anybody has noticed but google's index is almost 3 times as large as it previously was. I found it to be around 23.7 billion pages indexed for the word "to", up from 8 billion. people might be able to find larger index with a different phrase. On the google homepage they used to have the total index number at the bottom but they no longer have that.

This useless fact has been brought to you by HAYZ.

Just goes to show that seo is getting harder and harder with the increased competition.

That hardly matters... Google only shows upto 1000 results for any search query...

what ya talking about? If you only had to compete with 1000 other results for any search term, SEO would be a breeze.
You compete against any webpage that has been optimised for that keyword. That could be millions of results.

Hi,

I think it's just a number's war between Yahoo and Google. I'm sure a high percentage of those pages are obsolete or duplicate content.

But 23 billion does sound a lot to sort through!

Cheers,
Paz.

Definitely... I meant exactly the same as Paz...

Results are definitely duplicate ones as you can not make a page in 23 billion different styles...

I would have thought a hight % of the pages would have been cloaked pages that redirects traffic to a single website but google has cracked down extremley hard on these spam pages and have deleted them from their index and banned the webmasters that create them. This would mean only a low percentage would be cloaked spam sites.

15 billion pages just for adsense would be a bit of an exaggeration, that means about 3 out of 4.5 pages would be just for adsense. i would say about 1 - 2 billion pages.
