How many websites are on the Internet

On Saturday, April 8th 2006 at 05:17 AM

Netcraft estimated that at the end of March 2006 the Internet had a total of 80,655,992 websites, double when compared to 40 million in March 2003, and an increase of 3.1 million new websites since February 2006.

In this count, blogs that are part of a single website / service such as Blogger.com, are not counted. Only the main website (in this example Blogger.com) is counted, the rest being considered to be pages of Blogger.com.
Blogs that have a different set of hostnames, are considered different websites, thus making the number of 80 million an accurate figure.

Yes...thanks to the few 100'rd million websites out here , the scammers and cons have gotten out of control. There are webmasters that have begun to make a stand and target them in our chat rooms.
The Scammers News.. is a ongoing project working with YAHOO-AOL-MSN and a few other chat clients, helping to bring to

focus the scams and people that use them in our chat rooms on a daily basis, costing consumers millions of dollars monthly.

The above post from The Scammer News, is a liar/scammer himself. He steals other blogs from other bloggers and attempts to call them his own without permission. Read about his own ripoffreport here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/396/RipOff0396756.htm. His ID in Yahoo chat rooms is mrm_netpros_services. He has threatened people in a Yahoo chat room as noted below:

mrm_netpros_services: I'll come visit you again one day...give it time...maybe your wife won't be there and you'll have to answer the door this time.

mrm_netpros_services: ! I would like a room alone with him...teach him a lesson...the scumbag.

He sits in this chat room posting the same negative comments and most have ignored him. But he continues to post the above link of a site that does nothing but flame other business people. He makes NO money from it, however he claims he's making a LOT of money from it. We are trying to get people to see the REAL guy as he really is.

The above links aka The Scammer News has been reported on www.ripoffreport.com as a scam. The individual who made that site is Wayne Mathis from Woolrich, PA. He sits in yahoo small business chat rooms and "flames" other businesses/individuals who he does not like and even threatens people. You can find him Yahoo's small business room 1 any time of the day and night. He goes by the ID of mrm_netpros_services as well as the_scammer_news. He boasts about making money off of so called "scammers" in chat rooms, when in fact, HE is the scammer, and he makes NO money from his site. It's simply a way to commit slander, which he thinks makes his site legit. Just ask "Mariam, from Ask Mariam. He copied an article from her blog and put it on another blog site and never gave her credit or did not get permission from her. When confronted, he lied and said he had her permission in a "hidden source code" on his site. A lie. No reader could see it. Mariam later had her attorney contact "Mr. Mathis" and had his blog removed. He denies this of course. The Scammer News is nothing more than a slander site and needs to be removed. Feel free to report him for slander.
