99.9% of Websites Ever Created Will Never Be Seen

The Black Hole of the Internet

I've made the statement that 99.9% of websites ever created are never seen by anyone on the internet, except of course the people or person that created them.

Actually the odds are a lot worse than .1% that your website will be seen.

Let's try an experiment:
Do a search on Google (A black hole anyway) for web hosting.
The search returns 134,000,000 web pages. That's 134 million.
How many of these pages does Google give access to .
100 pages of 10 results each (and most of these will be free directories, twitter comments and other worthless garbage).

That's 1000 web pages that you can access on Google out of 134 million they've indexed.
Now do the math. 1000 divided by 134million.
That's .0000074, which converts to .00074%
Repeat the process with the search term ipod
321,000,000 SERPS
1,000 SERPS can be accessed
Returns .00031% that are accessible.
Sorry but I don't even know how to say these percentages. Needless to say they are much lower than one tenth of a percent.

 

To make matters worse; how many times have you gone to page 99 of the search results? Most people don't go past page 3.

"If you aren't in that first 1,000 of those millions of reported search engine statistics, your site has no search engine representation.....

Do you see the importance of doing your keyword research and then optimizing your web pages?

If you don't, well then, Enjoy the Black Hole!!
