You can get the word out about your GeoCities Web site by listing it in the Yahoo! Member Pages Directory. The name of your site and a short description of its contents will be displayed along with other sites within a general category. Getting your site listed on the Member Pages Directory is just a few mouse clicks away. Follow these steps to add your GeoCities site to the Yahoo! Member Pages Directory.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet access
  • Computer
  • GeoCities account
  1. Step 1

    Scroll down the GeoCities home page to the "GeoCities Community" pane. Select the "GeoCities Directory."

  2. Step 2

    Look under the "My Listings" pane. Click on the "List a New Page" link. This sends you to a new page titled “List My Page.”

  3. Step 3

    Type in one or two words that best describe your site in the boxes located under the “Step 1: Find a Category” banner. Click the search button that is to the right of the boxes. You will be sent to a page that displays a list of suggested categories.

  4. Step 4

    Pick the category that seems the best fit for the tone and content of your site. If none of the suggested categories is quite right, choose “None of the Above” to start a new category search. Once you select a category you will confirm your selection to move on to the next step.

  5. Step 5

    Choose the Web page that you want to list in the directory. Use the "View" link to make sure you have the right page.

  6. Step 6

    Title your page and create a short description of its contents. The title and description will be the thumbnail version that people will see in the directory. Click on “List Page” when you are finished.

  7. Step 7

    Go back to the Member Pages Directory. Under "My Listings," you will see the title and category of the page you posted to the directory along with a note telling you that the listing will appear in the directory in 24 hours.

Tips & Warnings
  • Browse the categories before selecting where to list your site. A good fit improves the chances that other people will find your site and get interested in what you have to say.
  • Your description is the first chance to invite people to your site. Pay attention to spelling, grammar and word choice to make a good impression.
  • You can go directly to the Member Pages Directory at this address: http://pages.yahoo.com/.
  • You cannot list the same site in more than one category. If you have already listed your site somewhere else that listing will be removed when you try to list with another category.
