81,608 new online casinos in one month! Presumably most of these are affiliate sites funneling new players.

And 164,010 new e-commerce sites. Does this mean that drop shipping is still a viable business?

Kind of a weird thing to track. The numbers just seem so large. 80k new gambling sites? How many of all the blogs are just 'blogspam'? Guess that doesn't matter right.

What defines a 'launch'? New domain registrations? Content being deployed?
