According to Google,

"©2005 Google - Searching 8,058,044,651 web pages"

However, it changes every hour, or minute even, and knowing that the figure has been up for months now, there's probably 8.5-9 billion web pages on the Internet now.

You can't seriously expect an answer to this question. The number changes by the hour (minute?).

When you include the websites without a URL address, you really cant get an accurate account.

If you kow what "order of magnitude" means, you can answer the question.

Forrest Aug, 25 2008 at 11:10 PM

The question is a legitimate one. The user didn't ask for a second by second account...any reasonable person would understand that. I suppose if someone asked you for the time, you'd go, "You can't seriously expect an answer to that...the number changes by the hour, by the millisecond..."
Please, leave your superiority and snobbery at the door...

Probably impossible to find out now. Search engines such as Google and Yahoo will tell you how many they have indexed, but they cannot tell you about ones they do not know about or which they have been asked not to index. But basically the Internet has got beyond any body's control.

Wired Magazine stated that "nine blogs are created every minute and 2.3 content updates are posted every second"

a blog consists of generally at the very least 50 pages till you get the log in pages, and the settings and all that fun stuff, then if they are 2.3 content updates every second that changes a page unless it's a new post and not a comment making yet another page, and then there are billions and billions out there now,

as I type this there are probably over 20,000 new web sites being created.

There is absolutelly no way to tell, there is however a difference between a website and a web page

so as far as websites, if you really want to know how many there are you may be able to check on one of the sites that allows you to check for domain name registrations, although that changes all the time, and there are different servers in different worlds

I think you have asked one of the very few questions that is impossible to answer with accuracy

As of November 20, 2008, there are 148,945,302 registered web sites. 94,308,110 of them are pornographic in nature. Each pornographic web site has an average of 119 images on them. That means there are over one billion sexual solicitations on the internet.
