BINGO! I know it wasn't the right way, but my goal was accomplished in that at least we are thinking now.
I have a small crawler program that I wrote some time ago, and I think one way would be to write it to grab let's say 50,000 websites, then determine how many websites have google adsense on it, and determine how many unique ID's there are per site. Given those statistics, one could speculate how many total adsense publishers there are in total.
If you grabbed 10 websites every minute, which is not much, it would run for 4 days (83 hours +) to take 50,000 websites. Now this would be different than webpages, but unique websites. It would have to crawl the site to determine if google exists on the site at all, and what the ID is if it does.
Then you would have to know how many websites there are out there in total to extrapolate how many publishers there are. From my understanding, there are like 5 million websites (80 million domain names but most are unused)
