- funkymonkey01, on 02/04/2008, -2/+187I think that figure is too low.
- jggube, on 02/04/2008, -0/+124The number of sites actually worth going to...17.
- daniel, on 02/04/2008, -2/+80I wonder why you have to type HALF THE SENTENCE IN CAPS LOCK.
- badwithcomputer, on 02/04/2008, -4/+67i wonder how many of those sites are pornographic in nature? i'd ballpark it around 94 percent.
- maldevivre, on 02/04/2008, -0/+63That's (more or less) 1 website for every 42 people living on this planet!
- rtaibah, on 05/22/2009, -2/+58Boy the tubes are clogged...
- angusm, on 02/04/2008, -1/+53The 155 million breaks down as:
- 62 million parked domains full of AdSense ads
- 41 million blogspot.com spam blogs
- 13 million sites that read "Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache server!"
- 9 million sites that read "Coming soon. This domain has been reserved for a customer of ..."
- 2.5 million blogs with less than three entries, the newest of which reads "Sorry I haven't blogged much lately"
- 1 million sites that read "This site defaced by ..."
- 625,000 phishing sites pretending to be Amazon, eBay or Citibank
- 500,000 sites that read "Bandwidth limit exceeded. Please contact ..."
- 100,000 AngelFire or GeoCities sites with black backgrounds, rotating skull and "burning torch" GIFs, written entirely in l33t or with spelling so bad that it's indistinguishable from l33t
...
- 789 "lolcats" sites
- 246 sites featuring photographs of naked women having sex with goats
- 123 clones of goatse.cx or "Two girls one cup"
- 72 Digg clones
- 1 digg.com - torpedoes83, on 02/04/2008, -0/+41I wonder how many are just parked domains running pay per click ads.
- av4rice, on 02/04/2008, -1/+39He wanted to emphasize for us the fact that there are WEB SITES ON THE INTERNET
- matthewkg, on 02/04/2008, -0/+30I would have thought there would be a lot more actually.
- jamesallen74, on 02/04/2008, -0/+29And 155,583,800 of those are porn sites.
- akatherder, on 02/04/2008, -0/+27When you asked how many guys she's been with, she thought you meant simultaneously.
- Innisskillin, on 02/04/2008, -1/+27Ya, and my girlfriend has only slept with 2 dudes before she slept with me.
- thcobbs, on 02/04/2008, -0/+22The scariest part is the discrepancy between registered names and active sites.
Roughly half of the web right now is just a name. - PerroLoco, on 02/04/2008, -0/+22How many since she slept with you?
- Topher06, on 02/04/2008, -1/+22Wow, that figure ISN'T A LOT IMHO.
- bxblox, on 02/04/2008, -0/+21Then why is my alexa rank 155,583,826? Huh?
- lukeydukey, on 02/04/2008, -1/+18Err. Don't get me started with domain parking.
- metalgel, on 02/04/2008, -1/+17I'm fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left and it'd be called "Bring Back the Porn"
- jdhammer, on 02/04/2008, -0/+15BA-ZING! A fine comment, followed by two very fine kicks to the balls.
- PerroLoco, on 02/04/2008, -1/+1680% of statistics are made up on the spot.
- PropCulture, on 02/04/2008, -0/+14"I'm fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left, and it'd be called 'Bring back the porn!'"
- Dr. Cox - midbc, on 02/04/2008, -1/+15ZOMBO.COM is the only site you need
- ep53, on 02/04/2008, -0/+13In other news: 155,583,555 websites have been labelled as "Porn"
- Chakz, on 02/04/2008, -0/+12If it's an estimate they should round to the nearest million.
- diadem2, on 02/04/2008, -0/+11the internet should only be used for legitimate means, such as horse gambling....
- StatiK69, on 02/04/2008, -0/+10I'd like to see a real report showing all websites, both active and parked. It's damned hard to find a unique domain name now a days.
- Tyrghast, on 02/04/2008, -0/+9I think this is just domains and not every individual page.
- buddamus, on 02/04/2008, -1/+10And if they deleted the porn there would be just 1, www.bring_back_the_porn.com
- KipEvil, on 02/04/2008, -0/+9I predict there will be more in the future!
- LMControl, on 02/04/2008, -0/+8Hmmm... let me go check. Be back in a few....
- Haz3rd, on 02/04/2008, -2/+10That's it?
- LemonDefragger, on 02/04/2008, -1/+9I'm somewhat underwhelmed for some reason.
- jololli, on 02/04/2008, -1/+9stop making me link through ***** blogs
- inactive, on 02/04/2008, -0/+7CRUISE CONTROL MOFO
- inactive, on 02/04/2008, -0/+7about 100,000,000 is the same viral porn site.
- smiley2billion, on 02/04/2008, -0/+7Welcome to Zombo com!
- inactive, on 02/04/2008, -0/+7kinda true, we really managed to turn the internet into a gigantic pile of *****
- slayerab, on 02/04/2008, -0/+7Are these ust domain names?
- badm00n, on 02/04/2008, -0/+7because it is listing pages not sites.
- 1337monk, on 02/04/2008, -0/+6Actually, I read that it was like under 5% of the internet is actually porn, they just advertise and all that like crazy.
- J3R3MY, on 02/04/2008, -0/+6How do you define a website? Is it counted by domains or what??
- JamesLee007, on 02/04/2008, -1/+6Amount I actually visit in a day: maybe 10. I need to get out more.
- AndrewDB, on 02/04/2008, -0/+5Porn is not *****.
- StuTheMeatMan, on 02/04/2008, -0/+5Some porn is...
- Rory1, on 02/04/2008, -2/+6I DEMAND A RECOUNT!!!
- MikeFromAmerica, on 02/04/2008, -0/+4That doesn't necessarily indicate that 50% of the registered domains are just being parked. In many cases, multiple registered names map to a single site. Besides, there's more to the Internet than the web. (Gopher for instance...)
- sinkhead, on 02/04/2008, -0/+4*****, you're the guy from WebSense :O
- klev2010, on 02/04/2008, -2/+6That sounds a little high to me
maybe like around 70 percent no wait maybe like 75-80 percent - falkonv7l, on 02/04/2008, -0/+4Could you immagine the space that could be freed up by deleting all the dead ones
