GOOGLE has detected more than a trillion unique URLs on the Web according to the outfit’s bog site. This number won’t stop there as they are growing at a steady rate of several billion pages per day. According to Google, they do not index every individual page out of the trillion figure, since “many of them are similar to each other, or represent auto-generated content.” said Jesse Alpert and Nissan Hajaj, software engineers in Google’s Web Search Infrastructure Team.

How about Yahoo, Microsoft or ask.com? Are they going to fight back with the figure?

I would say that blogs have played a major role in hitting the one trillion mark. Well, what’s next after a trillion?
