| | BrightPlanet® — Deep Web White Paper |
 | | Though individual deep Web sites have tremendous diversity in their number of records, ranging from tens or hundreds to hundreds of millions (a mean of 5.43 million records per site but with a median of only 4,950 records), these sites are on average much, much larger than surface sites. |
 | | Deep Web sites on average are more highly linked to than surface sites by nearly a factor of two (6,200 links vs. 3,700 links), though the median deep Web site is less so (66 vs. 83 links). |
 | | By 2000, original deep Web content is estimated to have exceeded print by a factor of seven and is projected to exceed print content by a factor of sixty three by 2003. |
