Over 1.5 million Neocities websites; Geocities, however, is dead.

    1.5 million websites that, whether obscure or not, deserve to be indexed no less than the many obscure GitHub pages that Microsoft is sure to index.

    More than I would have thought, but, 1.5 million html documents on a single site - does anyone go there looking for anything?

    I always just made my own sites, or hosted my own, a static site is easy enough. I wouldn't want to be lumped in with a free site. Warned a lot of people that putting your stuff on geocities was going to be a bad idea, and they almost disappeared altogether.

    But you mentioning Github really is enlightening, because that is the other super easy way to make free sites as long as you have the domain name. So if you had a free geocities site, but owned a domain the redirected to your specific page would it crawl it?

    In any case a search engine IS USELESS if they arbitrarily cut out any domain. No matter what they host.
