Google: 1 trillion served

Google logo (NASA’s 50th Anniversary)

We knew the Google was everywhere, but now we know just how big everywhere is — 1 trillion unique URLs.

From the official Google blog:

This graph of one trillion URLs is similar to a map made up of one trillion intersections. So multiple times every day, we do the computational equivalent of fully exploring every intersection of every road in the United States. Except it’d be a map about 50,000 times as big as the U.S., with 50,000 times as many roads and intersections.

However, if you weed out pages reserved by domain squatters, pornography and personal blogs that contain less than a dozen posts, the number drops significantly.

If your earnest and funny but unread blog is not among the 1 trillion indexed pages, you can enter it here.
