Google announced a new index boasting 1 billion additional Web pages on February 17th. This occurred just one day prior to Yahoo’s announcement that they’d removed Google, their long-time search partner from the Yahoo search results. With the new pages, the size of Google’s searchable database has increased by about one-third, or from 3.3 billion pages to 4.28 billion.
No other major engine rivals the breadth and size of Google’s latest index. The good news is that there may be a better chance than ever for more of your pages to find their way into Google. Unfortunately, the age-old problem still exists for businesses appearing in this latest index. If none of your pages manage to float to the top, then who is going to know you’re even in there?
