*ALERT* -- YHOO #1 Internet brand (WSJ) YHOO to buy Geocities (WSJ -- 1/28/99) ----------------------------------------------------------- That kind of bottom line hasn't stopped the frenzied deal making around companies such as GeoCities, especially because of their large amounts of Web traffic. The December results from Media Metrix, a Web-research company, placed the "Geocities.com" site in third place, with 18.98 million unique visitors, behind AOL's "AOL.com" site, with 28.3 million unique users and Yahoo's main "Yahoo.com" site, with 26.8 million users. A combination of Yahoo and GeoCities traffic -- depending on how much their individual audiences track over each other's -- would vault it to the No. 1 spot in terms of Internet traffic.
