Q: When you do a Google search, it comes back with a number. It’s a BIG number. The sentence goes something like this:
Results 1 - 10 of about 1,490,000,000 for XXX. (0.03 seconds)
What is that large number (in this case, 1,490,000,000)? Explain your answer.

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.
