Expressed as a percentage it sounds small and insignificant, but if you apply that to the total number of websites on the net it actually turns out to be a very large number.

Consider that there are over 100 million .com domains alone, now add in every other TLD, subdomain etc... conservatively I think you'd be looking at more than half a billion sites, and of course many, many times more that number in pages.

1% of 500 million is 500,000!
