I'm actually asking about the size of the world wide web. What is the estimated size of quality content (that is excluding dynamic page loops etc).
Search engines used to have a few billion to 5 billion pages indexed. Some research docs I was referred to from Wikipedia estimated the size closer to 30 billion.
Questions:
1. Does anybody know how many pages search engines have indexed these days?
2. What is the amount of quality webpages (worth indexing) considered at these days?
3. What is the average page size of a HTML page?
But then...this isn't really accurate :)
What a great question and one I've not seen asked in a while.
I wonder too, just how big "Our Universe" is. ;)
The Wayback Machine says they've cataloged 85 billion pages since 1996. Obviously most of those are no longer up and running, but an interesting number :)
Okay, that's 2 for 2. Anyone else lurking out there? ;)

<add> vincevincevince, oops I should have mentioned that I had no idea where that figure came from, or it is even close to the truth. Just wanted to show you this (W3Schools download in progress) [w3schools.com] </add>

It is proved, it takes about 4,381 years to download the internet.
