Google Estimates Facebook Gets 10^12 PVs

How much is 1 trillion, exactly? Well 1 trillion is a 1 with twelve zeros behind. 1 trillion pennies stacked on top of each other would be about four times the distance between Earth and the Moon. 1 trillion is also the number of page views Facebook users now request every month. If you were to open 1 web page every second, it would take you almost 32,000 years to arrive at 1 trillion pages.

The page view number comes courtesy of Google, which estimates Facebook page views via its DoubleClick ad planner tool. Google may be a bit off, as recent rumors put Facebook in the neighborhood of 750 million users, while Google estimates about 880 million and a total of 26 billion user visits every month. Google also states that more than one third of all Facebook users – or more than 300 million – visit the site every day. If the Google data is close to the reality, the Facebook is now logging more than 20,600 user years on its pages.

No other website is close to Facebook’s traffic volume, according to Google. Google’s own YouTube is listed as the second largest web property with 800 million users, but only 100 billion page views. Yahoo follows in third place with 660 million users and 77 billion page views. Now you know why that kid is a billionaire and you’re not.
