How Many Sites Run Drupal: January 2006

Submitted by Khalid on Sat, 2006/01/07 - 19:30

Exactly one month ago, I posted on how many sites run Drupal. My estimate using "node/feed" in Google yielded 54,000.

Today, the same query shows 58,400.

Is it plausible to have 4,400 new Drupal sites in one month?

Just performed this query:

http://www.google.com/search?q=node/feed

And Google does not return 50k URLs, but 90500, almost the double of the figure you get. Wonder whence the difference comes ?

This could very well be part of a google dance, but it seems like a rather large change for that.

As they do new "crawls" of the internet and rotate those results into their main site you can get funny results like this.

That's a lot of sites! I wish to compare this number with the top 3 CMS systems...
