 Google Says Internet Is Full Google says they have one trillion internet pages indexed. And that doesn’t include all the Lindsay Lohan or Angelina Jolie websites or Randy Pausch or Lenny Dykstra. These are 1 trillion unique URLs. That’s more URLs than there are stars in the Milky Way! In 1998, Google indexed 26 million pages, then a billion in 2000, and now, those pages have spawned 1,000 times. Google now continuously monitors the web and indexes pages several times a day. I personally am striving for my own personal best. Please join me in adding to the pixels of the Universe.
 Google’s post clarifies that the size of the internet really depends on what you classify as a unique webpage. In theory, there are an infinite number of pages, as many sites can automatically generate new ones (for example, a calendar could create a new page for every day in the future). The database also ignores pages that are near-exact reproductions of other sites.
