SEO Quiz: What’s the big number on the top right of a Google page mean?

    No comments? No one has the guts to state their answer? I find this is a question most SEO people get wrong, so maybe it is smart not to state your answer in public. Ah, seo is a strange industry.

    It’s an estimate of the number of resources (documents) Google knows about that include the term. It is not an actual count, and it is not the “number fo pages indexed”. Why people use it as a measure of competitiveness is beyond my comprehension.

    Ok so I answered this one myself, because after months no one else bothered. Ah, well.

    HI!!!

    The question is very simple. ;)

    The big digit is that the no of pages are indexed in Google (1,490,000,000 for website design) and the fraction number is that the time taken by Google to retrieve result from google Data Base (0.03 seconds)
