Thank you for your comment Ed Hawco, if there are more that 15 million websites then I stand corrected. I have double checked and the number of active websites is actually 52 million according to the 2006 Web Survey. I have adjusted the figures in my article accordingly.However the point of the article is to highlight the numerous risks there are on the internet and how parents can help protect their children. So whether there are 15 million, 50 million or 250 million websites on the internet there are still many dangers that parents need to be aware of.

Just a fact-checking note: you say there are 15 million web sites on the internet, but in fact there are more than 100 million Web sites. In fact, technorati indexes about 95 million blogs. The numbers are so similar because there are different definitions of a “site.” For example, www.typepad.com is a site, but there are many thousands of blogs all hosted there. So in terms of the total, all those thousands of blogs are considered to be one big Web site. But if you were to calculate by considering each blog as a separate site (and similarly, any subdomain as separate from the master domain), then you wold have to put the total number of web sites as well above 250 million, representing more than 30 billion pages.
