Fixed web shrinks! Mobile web grows!

It’s almost a month since I did this before, and I’m doing it today in case I am disciplined enough to start doing it the first day of every month.

This is the Google page count, using the site:.tld query syntax:

<td>
  <strong>6,610,000,000</strong>
</td>

<td>
  (<span style="color: red">down 12%</span>)
</td>

<td>
  <strong>2,340,000,000</strong>
</td>

<td>
  (<span style="color: green">up 4%</span>)
</td>

<td>
  <strong>530,000,000</strong>
</td>

<td>
  (<span style="color: red">down 8%</span>)
</td>

<td>
  <strong>63,500,000</strong>
</td>

<td>
  (<span style="color: red">down 22%</span>)
</td>

<td>
  <strong>23,700,000</strong>
</td>

<td>
  (<span style="color: red">down 10%</span>)
</td>

<td>
  <strong>20,100,000</strong>
</td>

<td>
  (<span style="color: red">down 7%</span>)
</td>

<td>
  <strong>354,000</strong>
</td>

<td>
  (<span style="color: green"><strong>up 50%</strong></span>)
</td>

site:.com

site:.org

site:.net

site:.info

site:.biz

site:.tv

site:.mobi

It seems fairly unlikely that the web is shrinking quite as much as that… so this probably highlights changes to Google’s page counting algorithm more than anything else.

Certainly the dubious science of this study 🙂

But anyway, it was worth it for the title. And makes us all feel cheerful for the start of the year.
