This BBC article says “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”.

At the very end of the article the growth of spam sites is mentioned but their attitude seems to be that this is a part of legitimate growth.
This is more than suspect, it is outright fraud. HUGE numbers of worthless sites are the greatest worry of Google and the others. To not make note of the fact that all these spam sites threaten the very integrity of the web make this piece pure fluff…
Yes, tech is back but don’t try to trick me with numbers like this.

Take a look at the stats now.
Looks like the net is outgrowing itself each new year.
