Stats: Over 55.5 Million Pages Powered By WordPress…
A simple google search reveals over 55.5 million pages are generated using WordPress today.
The WordPress search volume shows a healthy increase over time as can be seen from the graph.
As an aside you will also find over 47, 000 pages displaying the dreaded error page of WordPress. However that is an insignificant volume (.085%) in the overall picture.
WordPress.com boasts a traffic of 12 million page views daily and around 70, 000 posts are published everyday (what the heck do they write!?).
WordPress is pretty healthy as it stands today. Looking forward to 2.3 release to upgrade all of our blogs.

Wordpress is amazing. I’m hoping it can help us set up our computer consulting blog.
December 11th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
WordPress is simply the best. That’s the reason why so many people choose it. It’s also FREE!

Wordpress It’s way better than blogger, that’s the reason.

I certainly have to agree. I have three WP blogs for myself, and have installed many for my clients. Simple to use, easy enough to modify, definitely a great products.

i have different opinion about this..i think it doesn’t matter…if the blog has good unique and fresh content updated regularly, especially written for readers, with good backlinks and blog navigation, any blog can win…it’s a matter of focus and heading in right the way

I’m not surprised at the figures, considering Wordpress is so versatile. 55.5 million pages is still huge though isn’t it! Nobody should be bored with all that content.

Powered is great! I used to have my blogs powered by blogger until about 5 months ago,, it rocks!
January 3rd, 2008 at 6:36 pm

That is impressive! I’ve just ran a google trends to compare wordpress and joomla though - joomla came out on top!

Really interesting post!
Never stop iterating and don’t fear failure. Choose well-understood conventions where they will do to the most good , shortcuts you might take will cost you more to fix later than to try to get right up-front today.

And just to think, they\’re just the wordpress blogs that are listed by google. I imaging thousands more will have been created and google doesn\’t bother to crawl them.
Wordpress has really established itself as the blogging CMS standard..
March 28th, 2008 at 2:35 am
Are these stats only for WordPress-hosted blogs, or does it include the many thousands of blogs that are hosted on peoples’ own domains?
March 28th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Yes, unless they have decided to remove the “Powered by WordPress” text.

Wow 55.5 million pages. I knew word press was popular but had no idea. Been looking to start a blog and looking at the choices to do so. I guess word press is it
April 11th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Well it is simple. wordpress is a great setup and layout and is easy to perform SEO, unlike premade companies such as blogger which require a lot of setup, thats why there are so many users. I am sure that there are many many more that arent even indexed, so 55.5 million may seem like a lowball estimate!

I have been using blogger but might attempt a wordpress blog as everyone seems to be using it!
April 17th, 2008 at 1:39 am
The success result of a true # 1 blogging platform (or CMS perhaps?).:-) I\’m a blogger user too Kate but there\’s nothing much excitement going on in it. WP is a very happy community this might be the reason I have to switch to WP.

Amazing stats! It is quite possible because EVERYBODY uses wordpress:)
This figure should also include splogs and “automated blogs”, so the actual figure of true blog pages may be significantly less.

Persons with diabetes should keep their blood sugar at a healthy level to prevent or slow down diabetes problems. Ask your doctor or diabetes teacher what a healthy blood sugar level is for you. Your blood sugar can get too high if you eat too much. If your blood sugar becomes too high, you can get sick. Your blood sugar can also go too high if you do not take the right amount of diabetes medicine. Diabetes Symptom at http://diets-diabetes.blogspot.com

Great information! Thanks for writing this. It is an honor to participate in the discussion.

55.5 million pages is big but i still believe frontpage is easier to use. Using the simplist designs are always best.
