Which programming language rules the internet?

Rather than arguing about which language is the greatest, let's look at some statistics about which language has the most popularity on the Internet. Below is a list of the number of pages found for each language, through a Google search. I've included markups as well, just for shits and giggles.


PHP25,270,000,000
HTML25,270,000,000
Javascript2,000,000,000
CSS1,190,000,000
Java979,000,000
Ruby289,000,000
C#182,000,000
Python183,000,000
Perl155,000,000
Visual Basic123,000,000
Objective C38,000,000
Cobol14,000,000

HTML and PHP have the same number of found pages. That implies to me that Google has some arbitrary rating system that approximates certain large numbers to a common number.
