Dear Corpora List Members,
Every week I see on this list many interesting
questions and discussions. I think our email list is
something very useful and interesting to read!

I want to put here a question, which answer I couldn't

find in Internet or in the literature I have.
The question is: approximately how many  pages in
English exist in Internet?

A friend of mine told me something about the total
number of pages in Internet (1 milliard). However I
couldn't find some source, referring to this question.

I tried to calculate the number of pages, using search
engine and a formula from the probabilistic theory.

The results I obtained were about 50-80 millions of
pages in English.

I don't know if this figures are wrong, but they seem
to me too low. Does someone of you know approximately
how many pages exist in Internet in ENglish language?
Thank you in advance!

Hristo Tanev
