Hi Tuan Do
That is crazy that there are so many website out there. I only have one domain :-) The worst part is all the websites that are just created used for spam or other purposes and then deleted again. I wish it was possible to do something affective about that.

In reply to DiTesco. True that, and we should appreciate Google more for trying to dish these spammy and unworthy websites.. it's definitely not an easy task!

OMG, 172 million active websites is simply overwhelming, although I had the impression that there were a lot more :) More surprising is the amount of deleted sites.. Impressive and like you said, it does feel somewhat good that our sites are ranking well amongst the sea of sites out there :)

In reply to Paul Salmon. Yeah, this is an unbelievable growth, the number could reach 1 billion even less than 1 year with this pace. I guess the percentage of spammy websites could go up to more than 50%.

That is a lot of websites, and the NetCraft graph really illustrates the growth in the number of websites. If it continues at this pace, then we could be hitting over 1 billion in a few years. Now I wonder how many of those sites are spammy?
