Web Enjoys Year of Biggest Growth

Monday, Oct. 10 2005 | Author: Dave

I can’t wait to see how much the web will grow over the course of 2006, but currently an article on BBC has news on how 2005 is doing.

The web has grown more in 2005 than it did at the height of the dotcom boom, says a study.

In the year to October the web grew by more than 17 million sites, says monitoring firm Netcraft.

This figure exceeds the growth of 16 million sites seen in 2000 when net fever reached its most intense pitch.

Netcraft said the rise was caused by small businesses going online, firms making the most of web advertising schemes and spammers.

Isn’t that 17 million sites figure entirely irrelevant compared to the actual _percentage_ growth rate? The growth rate would be significantly lower now than during the dot-com boom, or indeed than virtually all previous years.
