Sixty of the largest deep-Web sites collectively contain about 750 terabytes of information — sufficient by themselves to exceed the size of the surface Web forty times. - On average, deep Web sites receive fifty per cent greater monthly traffic than surface sites and are more highly linked to than surface sites; however, the typical (median) deep Web site is not well known to the Internet-searching public. - The deep Web is the largest growing category of new information on the Internet. - Deep Web sites tend to be narrower, with deeper content, than conventional surface sites. - Total quality content of the deep Web is 1,000 to 2,000 times greater than that of the surface Web. Deep Web content is highly relevant to every information need, market, and domain. - More than half of the deep Web content resides in topic-specific databases. - A full ninety-five per cent of the deep Web is publicly accessible information — not subject to fees or subscriptions."
