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

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?

I don't know if drop shipping is still viable, but there are lots of those types of sites so...

I have a bunch of heuristics - but broadly speaking a new domain + a new good looking site. ie: some legit pages, legit socials, and some real owner/purpose behind it.
