Great article! It’ll definitely be interesting to see what happens as a result of this little black hole in the link juice galaxy caused by the Geocities shut down.
Time to check your link portfolio inventory and if you have any geo’s pointing at you...better get busy!

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I appreciated the sentiments on having the DMOZ listing have slightly more value as the page sends out less links. Speaking of DMOZ (a topic I am bitter about), I would proabably rather see them go away rather than Geocities.
@oldschool - I tend to agree I would rather see DMOZ go away - good post here!
Here is that part I do not understand. Yahoo could like slap some adsense ads on those dusty old pages and make a few million per day. I mean I can get over $100/day with a few thousand web pages, now imagine if I had several billion.
Yahoo do slap advertising on those pages. Obviously it isn’t making enough to justify the cost of maintenance, bandwidth and all the rest. Because the pages are generally very obsolete, most visitors are probably bots rather than humans. And bots don’t click ads.
