make an account at, it’s free, and for small websites.
Then create an html file with the following code:
Go To…
If the page does not redirect in 5 seconds, Click here.
replace the ‘http://mywebsite.geocities.
yahoo.com’ w/ your geocities url
save it as index.html and load it up to
It should automatically redirect the user to your geocities page.
Hope I helped!

For any of the sites you want to use, just insert the meta redirect tag on the index.html page for the site. Set the link to your GeoCities site and you’re good to go.
FYI only:
Using meta refresh for redirection is considered by the W3C to be a poor practice, since it does not communicate any information about either the original or new resource to the browser (or search engine). Many web design tutorials also point out that client side redirecting tends to interfere with the normal functioning of a web browser’s “back” button. After being redirected, clicking the back button will cause the user to go back to the redirect page, which redirects them again. Some modern browsers seem to overcome this problem however, including Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. Others, like IE, can be “tricked” by doing two rapid clicks of the “back” button – the first lands you on the redirect page, and before the time interval expires the second click takes effect to land you on the previous page. The use of zero delay redirects may cause the two rapid clicks technique to be impossible. A minimum delay of 1 second should be used for all redirects.
