The study also found that the Internet is growing at an explosive rate of more than 7 million pages each day, indicating that it will double in size by early 2001. Cyveillance further projects that the Internet's highest rate of growth is still to come. ``As the Internet grows, so does the `knowledge gap' between what companies know and what they don't know, translating directly into lost opportunities and lost revenue,'' said Wolfgang Tolle, Cyveillance CTO and vice president of operations. ``More than ever, companies now need to gather e-Business Intelligence not just from their own corporate Web site but also from the other 2 billion-plus pages on the Internet that may be impacting their business.'' For this study, Cyveillance analyzed Internet pages and examined links, tracking the frequency of unique URLs. Additional findings from the study include: Average size of pages: 10,060 bytes Average number of internal links per page: 23 Average number of external links per page: 5.6 Average number of images on a page: 14.4 Percentage of US vs. international pages: 84.7% /15.3% Click here to return to the homepage of The Write NewsTM Click here to subscribe to our free weekly email newsletter. www.writenews.com Copyright © 1997-2007 by Writers Write, Inc.
