Whilst typing in my website address, i made a spelling mistake...
www.geocites.com/incenseduk/ (obviously an 'i' is missing) Yet it still took me to my site. Is it me or has Yahoo registered www.geocites.com cus they know people are liable to spelling mistakes, or was it originally geocites.com?

Geocities almost certainly bought geocites.com and redirected it to their homepage because they knew muppets like you would type it in wrong :O)
Oh, it's easy now.
Geocities must have tried to buy the domain but the owners wouldn't sell.
They've obviously agreed for any /xxx bit to point to Geocities and bring up an advert for the original site while the main domain (www.geocites.com) still points to the other site.
See what they've done?
