In 1998, Google’s search index included 26 million webpages and in 2000, they hit the 1 billion mark for the number of websites known to Google in the search index.

Yesterday, Google engineers stopped and stared in awe as their index reached and flew past the 1 TRILLION mark for the number of websites and pages in its index.

Just to put that in perspective, it is estimated that there are just over 6.680 billion people on Earth which comes out to about 150 pages per person on the planet.

Interesting, isn’t it?
