Consider this: A recent article from Hosting Tribunal reported that there are nearly 2 billion websites on the Internet with 4.2 billion pages of content. Blogs hosted on WordPress alone generate more than 4.4 million blog posts per day, while news outlets like the New York Times and Washington Post publish between 150 and 1,200 stories, graphics or posts daily. That’s a lot of content!
