          That's where I made my first porn site

          May you rest in peace, dear Geocities.

                    remember all those free dial up accounts too that everyone figured advertising would pay for everything?

                      So they haven't found the way to monetize it? Looks like our joke of an industry is not the only one lacking good fresh ideas.

                      I may understand their reasoning, but still - just go ahead and shut down an Alexa top 100 site... must feel a lot of pain.

                          think of all those old geocities sites that are sitting high in the google serps too, will be gone overnight with no way to salvage them

                            I never really used geocities. I put together my first site with Tripod. They seem to still be around in some form.

                                              You know, I don't think they "ripped yahoo off".
                                              I think yahoo took something valuable and wasted it.

                                              The first mistake was not really putting geocities into the search results hardcore.
                                              I mean, WTF! You have a search engine and you don't bring up webpages with
                                              your own advertising on it in the top results??????

                                                      Had my first site there, 1997 I think it was..living in Amsterdam...... working for the Magick Shop with Oz

                                                      so I had Intershrooms.com

                                                      Thought I would make big $$$, and the cover of NewsWeek ...nope didn't happen just a few sales here and there...Took Newsweek 4 years to catch on...by then I was somewhere else...

                                                      I wish I had discovered porn at that time...

                                                        I have a site up on Geocities. I couldn't access it any more, but it still sent out traffic to a program and I got money from it every month. Bummer.

                                                          I think yahoo took something valuable and wasted it.

                                                          The first mistake was not really putting geocities into the search results hardcore.
                                                          I mean, WTF! You have a search engine and you don't bring up webpages with
                                                          your own advertising on it in the top results??????

                                                                                                    I wonder, is this thing really that costly they need to drop it? With the bandwidth dirt cheap nowadays and the storage too, and the majority of content being simple static html pages, how much to they spend to support geocities?

                                                                                                    I mean, I can understand google having problems with youtube, - that's a huge video site after all that hosts maybe half of worlds' online videos (but I still think the figure of their $500mil/year loss on youtube that is floating around is grossly overestimated) - but geocities? They're mostly html pages with a few pics if any, plus a long tail of old sites that still get traffic which is worth gold with contextual advertising while being almost free to run. Why would they drop it, I just don't get it... Or do I miss something?

                                                                                                    Oh and they have their own advertising platform, why not to just plaster it everywhere and let people get checks for the ads displayed on their sites? Sorta sponsor free host model used in our business which is insanely profitable even with traffic heavy apps, which is not the case here. I'm sure nobody would bitch after the contextual ads panel was added to their site, if offered to get checks for it.
