Wow, didn’t realise that Google only indexes 10 % of the websites out there, that could mean that there are potentially 260Billion pages out there. That’s nearly 20 per person alive today!

I don’t really see how the deep web can help marketeers. If these pages are off googles radar then they have no significance as they won’t have a page rank so therefore worthless to linking to. Just my opinion.

I never thought that such thing as “Deep Web” exists. Does anyone know where I can find a good article that explains very well about “Deep Web”? I’m just curious about this.

As the major search engines start to experiment with incorporating Deep Web content into their search results, they must figure out how to present different kinds of data without overcomplicating their pages. This poses a particular quandary for Google, which has long resisted the temptation to make significant changes to its tried-and-true search results format.

In some cases, yes. In others its more a matter of “eye of the beholder” and what you’re after that sets the real value of pages not in Google. Some info is evergreen too, and many people have put up great things in the past that they abandoned, but the info is still someone else’s gold mine if they need it for a book or product. The real reason a lot more stuff isn’t in Google is the stuff has no links. Google is a popularity contest and most of the pages on the web are not “popular.” But the info on some of them can be a big resource depending on what you’re looking for.

Might do another on this topic if Bill digs up some new info on the topic. But nothing planned in the near future.

Yeah you have to be a real sleuth and go through a lot of junk sometimes to find the worthwhile stuff.

Be aware that finding that oh-so-precious knowledge is just as hard as looking for a needle in a haystack; you need to know the proper search terms to get results you want.

Good post, Jack! I’ve never heard of the Deep Web before either. But if those pages are mainly inactive or hard to index anyway, isn’t that a good indication of the so-called “quality” of those pages? Perhaps Google just considers them dead for the visitors, you know. Perhaps they haven’t been updated in years, or something.

Anyway, interesting subject. Have you got more of these coming up?

Cool topic, Jack. Love this clandestine Jack Bauer/NCIS stuff ….

I had never heard that Google has only spidered 10% of the web. Freakin’ amazing if you think about it. Imagine the serp competition if it was the other way around!

Time to go exploring … thanks.

Never knew that web pages that’s not been spidered by the search engines was called Deep Web. I would leave its exploration to the curious folks out there. The owners of these web pages abandoned and hidden the information for a reason.
