how exactly is a website shallow? They get popular for a reason ;P
Shallow-web(also known as Surface web) and Deep-web are two concepts to describe webpages on the internet. The main difference between the two are that surface websites have been indexed by searchengines while deep websites have not.
"Mike Bergman, credited with coining the phrase,[1] has said that searching on the Internet today can be compared to dragging a net across the surface of the ocean; a great deal may be caught in the net, but there is a wealth of information that is deep and therefore missed. Most of the Web's information is buried far down on dynamically generated sites, and standard search engines do not find it. Traditional search engines cannot "see" or retrieve content in the deep Web – those pages do not exist until they are created dynamically as the result of a specific search. The deep Web is several orders of magnitude larger than the surface Web."
So what we think is the internet, is only a sliver of what the internet actually is!

Fortune is my favorite because its non-marketed and nothing changes in terms of features, yet it is so influential to internet culture and freedom of information.
