Comment on I tracked 677k newly launched websites in November. Here's the breakdown

Comments

Kind of a weird thing to track. The numbers just seem so large. 80k new gambling sites? How many of all the blogs are just 'blogspam'? Guess that doesn't matter right.

What defines a 'launch'? New domain registrations? Content being deployed?

I have a bunch of heuristics - but broadly speaking a new domain + a new good looking site. ie: some legit pages, legit socials, and some real owner/purpose behind it.
