Yahoo GeoCities is closing…

The latest big news in the internet world is Yahoo’s decision to shutdown all Yahoo GeoCities websites, a move that could have far reaching consequences for many individuals and businesses.

There were over 7 million GeoCities URLs indexed in Google alone, with GeoCities URLs ranked in the top 20 of Google for around 680,000 different keywords and the sites produced over ten million visits a month!

This means a huge loss of content from the ‘net and also a huge loss of backlinks for some businesses, which may have a negative effect on their seo campaigns.

With GeoCities closing, many users will be without a site and whilst these were free websites, it may be time for GeoCities site owners to move forward and commission their own website. This is where we can help.

If you have found that your GeoCities site has recently gone offline or been shutdown and you would like a quote for a new website design, please feel free to contact us
