I've read articles where this is much smaller. And Google claims to have indexed 1 trillion unique URLs, so maybe it's a lot bigger. There is a cool site that does track the number of Web pages each major search engine indexes. It's at: http://www.worldwidewebsize.com/ If you trust the numbers, Yahoo is the largest search engine by far at about 65 billion indexed pages. Google is at around 17 billion. So if you believe the numbers, Google has actually indexed about 5% of the Web pages, and if you were to take all search engines combined, it's around 15 - 20%. Regardless, great post as usual, and you're right on...most of the "free and open" Web is still invisible (and let's be honest, everything after the first couple of pages on Google are "invisible" because no one ever looks at it).
