Abstract
I propose a new method to estimate the size of the WWW based on statistical analysis of URLs collected by a search robot. I also report on transition of the growth of the Web in the jp domain, based on periodic investigaitions done using the above method. The total size of the Web in the jp domain has grown more than 6 times during 4 years, reaching 66 million pages by February 2002. I also estimate the number of personal web pages in the jp domain to be about 19 million pages as of September 2000.
